Today my patient who is half of a 2 and half of a 3 came back for me to finish the right side. She told me she had to be to work by 2:00, so I got started to get her out of here on time. When I asked for a scale check I felt really confident, but I missed tons of calculus everywhere interproximally. I was so frustrated, and my professor said to just have her come back, but I have no time at all!! So, I convinced her to stay, and she said it would be okay if she was a little bit late. My instructors helped me a ton to finish, because I just could not get it off!!! It was so frustrating, and I feel like I will never be able to be a confident dental hygienist!
