Air powder Polish day!

Today we polished each other with the air powder polish. I hope I never have to do that on a patient. If I do...I hope it doesn't have to be on every patient. I don't like using it and it really taste gross. I would not wish my patient to have to go through that. My clinic partner is a really good clinician but she forgot to step OFF of the foot peddle before taking it out of my mouth and got my lip. It stings but I'll survive.
We also had time to practice a couple of other instrumentations as well. Next week we see each other as mock patients. I hope things get better with understanding when we do what and what instrument goes where.
