4-09-07 Today I saw a pt and cleaned one quad that was classified as a 3. It was my first time having a pt be anesthetized and the first time using my gracey instruments. It was quite the experience. I'm very glad that they were numb because they had a lot of subgingival calculus. I missed almost every interproximal space possible. So I went back and fixed most of it. It was a really good learning experience because now I know what to feel for and to feel before I scale the area, I also spent more time exploring after I scaled an area. I think it will be very important for me to remember this in the future. Hopefully i get better because today I had a slice of humble pie!
