Learning x-rays

Saturday November 19th, 2011

Today we continued x-rays. We did an FMX (full mouth series) on our partners. The anterior and posterior teeth were much more difficult to x-ray than the bite wing x-rays. I definitely do not feel comfortable using the x-rays because it is very difficult to place in the patient's mouth. After developing the x-rays, most of us found that we are going to have to re-do our x-rays. We are allowed to perform to FMX each before we are exposed to too much radiation in such a short time. Next week we do not have class, but HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

CSDA Denver Location!! week 3

Week 3 Preventative Dentistry, Alginate Impressions and Sealants.

Weeks after week, students at CSDA are keeping the momentum, studying hard and attending classes regularly. We all love our instructors (Monica and Kattie).

Preventative dentistry is a subject that students show what has gone right and wrong in the pass in our own tooth anatomy. Knowing from what we've learn from this chapters, made us to be aware of things we can do to achieve and maintain an optimum oral health for a life time.
Identifying the types of Dental diseases, their formation and how to care about these disease is very fascinating. Brushing, mouth rinsing, and flossing methodologies was an interesting exercises for students, hence its a daily routine for us like many others, knowing a better way to perform this task is great. Nutritional education is a key component in maintaining a good oral health and we are glad to know key ingredients that makes a good oral health.

The lab work for preventative dentistry was techniques of brushing, flossing, and tropical fluoride Gel or foam application .

Part of week three lectures was on Coronal polishing , fluoride, prophylaxis, sealants, and stains of teeth.

The lab works for these chapters was on Coronal polishing, Alginate impressions, sealants placement, rinsing and suctioning. Students have fun to do practice coronal polishing and to have a free polishing, free fluoride application. Thanks to the generosity of CSDA management. Below are pictures and videos from the lab exercises.
