class 3

Goal: have my roommate be my class 1b patient today, 4bwx and fm hs, pol, ect.
accomplished: my roommate failed her appt and i was going to just do the intra oral camara PE and the peer reviewed PE.. i was going to help chart with one of the girls and then my prof came over to tell me that she had a pt for me.. GREAT! He was the husband of a pt being treated right then and he was going to be just waiting.. I hurried and got his info and HHX and we started.. I could see from his tissues, and xrays that he was going to be a class 3.. it startled me to see my probe going in 7-8mm!! OD was definately class 3 perio.. I was grateful, suddenly, that my roommate wasn't able to show and i decided right then that perhaps i shouldn't react to such things so negatively.. i need to know that everything is going to be alright-i'll keep doing my best.. I really stressed to him the importance of cleaning his teeth and flossing.. he speaks mainly spanish so it was Super fun to try out my portugues/spanish mix.. it worked most of the time..
