Today we practiced using the saliva ejector and the high volume evacuator along with the air water syringe. My typodant was safe this time, it was Heather who had to deal with me struggling to use all of these things that are so foreign to me. The HVE is really awkward to use and it scares me slightly. But i had fun learning on an actual person, i just need to gain a little more confidence somehow. Dental Hygienists make it look so easy!
That will be me one day...Cleaning teeth like it's nothin'.
We also learned how to barrier and prepare for a patient as well as how to clean up or "tear down" after a patient has left. I like the tear down part because i am a clean freak and i love wiping things down and sanitizing the heck out of everything!
