9-25-07 This morning my patient did not show up. But, I found a little boy whose mom was being seen by my friend. He was such a good patient, class 1a. In the afternoon I had a class two come back and she was very sensitive. We did not give her local anesthetic, but gave her oraqix. That really didn't work and I should have just gotten her numb. So it turned out that I missed so many spots when I got a scale check. Which was very frustrating. It was the same problem that I had last week, I did not get into the col area far enough. My goal is to explor better with my instrument, go deep into the pocket, and keep my instruments sharp enough.
