Pink Stains, green sand, and weird gooooopp....

IT TOOK ALL NIGHT TO GET THE LAST BIT OF PROFY PASTE OUT OF MY MOUTH!!

Sunday:
Quiz, lecture, LAB!!! In Sunday's Lab we got to polish each others teeth! Learning how to hold the instruments, use the instruments while holding them, and polishing teeth(all sides) was definitely an adventure! Although some of us finished faster than others- we all enjoyed doing this..even if it was kind of nerve racking the first couple of teeth..
Thursday Night:
Rubber Dams.....enough said...haha....we also went over our homework. We watched a video and I personally took alot of notes about rubber dams..just because I would like them for the future..but, it was really easy to learn about them..getting them on...now that seems to be a little more challenging!

All in all..I am sooo happy to be in this class and to have chosen this school. My teachers are so fun and they really make learning enjoyable(wish I would of had them threw high school..hehehe). They already have taught me alot about the dental community and I am so excited to get out there and work! Teeth are all I seem to notice about people now when I first seem them..I am even dreaming about my wisdom teeth being pulled out during class! hahaha..

SEE YOU ALL ON THURSDAY NIGHT!!!
dont forget we have Chapters 9,10,17,18 due and of course another quiz on Sunday!!!

DID YOU KNOW?
WHEN YOU HAVE A CARBOHYDRATE IN YOUR MOUTH IT RAISES YOUR ACIDIC LEVEL? ...AND THAT EDGES YOUR TEETH!?....another reason why I have to stay away from carbs........GREAT! :(

WHAT A WEEK!!!

This has been an awesome week!

Thursday night we got to get to know eachother up close and personal even if we dont know eachothers names yet..we got to know their mouths! The night went by really fast and before I knew it I was begging my boyfriend to let me chart his! We went over homework and went over alot of information that we were told "may be on the quiz"..we also got to wipe down the areas where we practiced and got to know our area.
Sunday has been the funniest so far..at least for me. The biggest quote of the day was.."I don't want you to be perfect today, I want you to make a mess..It means that you are actually learning"..COULDN'T OF BEEN MORE TRUE!!.. We got to make empressions of our partners arches and of course they got to it back. Personally I was a little nervous about having my top empression done, because I was afraid of gagging..a little silly yes, but it turned out it really wasnt that bad. We also had a quiz that day and got to learn about sterilzation and about different bacteria. Pretty easy Sunday - it was also Mother's Day!!

We have homework DUE ON THURSDAY and another quiz on SUNDAY. I know I'm really going to be studying chapter 5...Although we do have 5 Chapters we need to study, I feel...That chapter 5 is what will be the hardest for me.
I hope everyone has a great week!!! See you Thursday night!!

DID YOU KNOW?...It is now a ghost town, but in 1861, Nevadaville outside Central City was larger than Denver!!??!!?? WIERD HUH...
