Cutest patients ever

Part of being in hygiene school is obviously the part where I get to clean teeth :) My very first patient was Preston ( I don't have pictures, which I'm sure he's glad about) and it took me 2 appts. to get through everything. Poor guy, I took a whole full mouth set of radio graphs (x-rays) and that was pretty much the whole first appointment because I was so slow. The second appointment we actually got to the cleaning part, which was great because he had nothing for me to scale (scrape) off. I saw him for his recall appointment-6 months later, and what a difference! He was in and out in no time. I've also been able to see my kids in clinic and clean their teeth as we get to do a pediatric rotation as well. They both loved it and did great! I was even able to to put sealants on Corbin!
