Yesterdays clinic was much better than the previous week. My patients showed up and I was finally able to see a class III. This is the first time since I started the program that while I was probing the probe dropped into a pocket. This lady had a 12 mm pockedt. I couldn't believe how the probe just kept going and going. Cleaning it on the other hand was not as exciting. It was difficult to get a scaler to go down that far. I used my file that we had just been taught on Monday how to use and then went in with my ultrasonic. My instructor said I got all the calculus so that made me happy.

  1. Good job Heidi! Class III's are really hard, especially cleaning a 12mm pocket, and not missing anything! Way to go!
