Today is Valentines Day! Yeah! It was also a no-patient day. We learned how to use the ultrasonics. It was a lot of fun. I was kind of nervous to use them, but they are a lot easier than I had anticipated. The instructors say that there is less of a learning curve. They just blast calculus off the teeth. It is great! We got to practice on each other, which I didn't like because our tissue is too tight to fit the ultrasonic tip into, and I got nervous to put it into the sulcus, especially the col area. It was fun though. We also passed off the intraoral camera PE and learned how to use the Diagnodent. It was a really good day!
