Today I saw a patient that my work gave to me. If there are any benefits to working while in the program this will definitely be one of them! This patient was seen at our office and was told he needed a SRP (scaling and root planing) but they didn't want to pay for it so they referred him to me. And I am so grateful they did because he is a class II patient!
I got my raidographs from my office and it was crazy how much calculus he has! There is radiographic calculus on every interproximal surface! So he will definitely be a fun but challenging patient. I was able to get one quad scaled today and he is scheduled back again so I can finish him.
He was such a great patient! He had a lot of patience and responded well to what I had to tell him. But it definitely took a lot of time to get off the calculus just because there was so much! It was fun I was able to use my ultrasonic and I really like it! It definitely is a time saver!
