WSU January 24th....
Today was a hard day...or at least i worked hard! Thanks tons you girls who cleaned me up TWICE today! I saw that cute little giggly spanish class 4 again today. I fine scaled the quad i worked on last week and finished another quad. I feel bad that i have to ask him to come back again, but he is super nice so it wasn't too hard! It was neat to see his tissue healing from last week that i worked on. I have never seen so much buildup on a facial molar...after i ultrasoniced it his tissue was still sticking clear out like there was still a mound of buildup there, but today his tissues had tightened back up around those teeth, so that was rewarding! Plus, he has the calculus that we all (hygiene students) salivate over! I know, that sounds really sick, but you all know your are just picturing cranking on the ultrasonic and blasting it off and watching it being sucked down into the depths of your high speed suction!! ha ha
Afternoon pt was my older brother Kade. I did his OD last year, then i handed him off to a classmate, because i was done with that requirement...so today it was nice to tx him and get ANOTHER CL. II and especially pound him with the OHI. THen it kinda hit home when we started discussing some of his habits. We talked about the risks of smoking and chew tobacco. Today was the time where i REALLY wish i was well versed about all of this stuff. I just wanted to get out all of my articles and read them to him. So, that is something i will really brush up on so i can hopefully impact his habits! ANywho, it was a long day and my back is killing me! Crystal, this working out thing might kill me before it does me good! ha ha ha

I am impressed that you addressed your bros habits. My brother chews. The hard thing is that he does not know we all know. So I am a chicken and I have not said anything yet. I need to have the guts to address the issue. I have so much to learn from you 'top pod girls'!!!!

Maryann, has he ever been in for you to clean his teeth? Have you noticed areas of leukoplakia? That might be a way to bring it up. That is a touchy subject though, so i know it can be hard. Lucky for me he has a chew ring worn into his back pocket, so it's not a big secret!
