The start of something great...

Day 1 was packed full of information. Nervous as we awaited what would come next and anxious as we all began our journey, the class sat quiet. Our teachers Sheryl and Amanty quickly brought the life into the room. In an instant I knew this class was going to be awesome. They have such passion and excitement for the job they do that I am sure it will spread to each and every one of us. In the first class we learned a brief history of dentistry, the anatomy of the mouth, and who would of thought...the correct way to number and refer to the teeth. They wouldn't be just canine teeth or vampire teeth to us any more. We also covered charting and how to mark the teeth depending on what was wrong with them. It is going to take a lot of work getting familiar with all of the new vocabulary and terms but I have no doubt that with the help of the upcoming lab, we will be able to pick things up more quickly with practice.
