::.:Class Two::.:

Last wednesday was great in that I finished up my class 2 patient.  At the beginning of the appointment, I disclosed him to see what progress he had made in a week.  He nearly DOUBLED his PFI score.  He (and I) was SOOOO excited-- His tissues looked so great and he could tell the difference, too.  I even saw him texting his wife telling her, "My PFI score went from ___ to ___."  It was so gosh darn great.  He was super excited at the end of the appointment when he saw the results, too.  I know why I chose hygiene :)  I love changing people's health for the better-- Some patients will not be as receptive to OHI and change their habits like this patient did, but when you find those special patients, they make your day/profession so rewarding.  He was great-- I did miss more spots than I wanted to for the remaining 3 quads, but hey-- learning experiences are what will make me a better hygienist I suppose.  All in all, it was a good day. . .
