Another VA day

Today, I didn't have a pt. until 9:30AM, there was the random pt that was going to try to show up for just basic polishing and debridement at 8AM. (boring, but oh well, at least it keeps him healthy). Of course, he didn't show, so I had a long boring morning of waiting. To make things even less eventful, everyone else had easy patients and didn't need charting so I restocked some random supplies for everyone (so much fun! ...I wish I could get CA credit).
At 9:30, my patient finally showed up needing a maxillary impression for a night guard, 4 BWX, and a good thorough cleaning. The impression had to be done twice because the first one didn't get enough of the anterior teeth, but Sharrah helped me get the second one done right. Then my BWX had some issues since my pt. coudn't bite down very well on the right side. The patient actually ended up being a class II! I got my class II/V done today!!! Yay! I just need to find those blasted III's! The doctor came in and said he needed to be scheduled to get his wisdom teeth out and one small cavity filled. Then we had to wait until the periodontist had some time to come look at the pt. to evaluate him for a possible mandibular anterior gingival graft (same surgery I had last year... poor guy!)
My afternoon patient was a class III that I had seen in January and scheduled to come back on my day. He's a very good pt. He just fell asleep and let me do the cleaning. It also helped that I was able to numb him and therefore the cleaning was smooth and easy for him and me. I like it when appointments work out like that.
