Today we learned about how to put up and tear down a operatory for patient treatment. Then, hold on to your hats cause this is exciting, we got to try out our suction and and air/water syringe on our clinic partners!!!! Not our tooth models but an actual person!!! No..... all kidding aside I am excited to start learning different techniques and skills and be able to put them to good use. I know that I don't have that much experience in the operatory so I am just trying to soak in all that I can. Instructor Demmings is always so kind to come and show me how to sit or hold my suction so that it is better for my posture and overall easier to use. Poor Megan is my partner and I am sure she wishes she had someone that was an assistant rather than an office manager!! Maybe she can teach me a thing or too!!
We sterilized a perio probe, explorer and mirror.........stayed tuned to see how that turns out!!
