never been better..

Yesterday the pt who was my very first pt came in to have his teeth finally cleaned.. He has been out of town and just barely returned. I was so excited to see him again and think of how much my skills have improved since that first clinic day. He was surprised when i told him that he wouldn't have to come a third time because we were able to finish all 4 quads of class 2 in that appt.. I was also excited! the best part was to see that he had been doing EXACTLY what i taught him to do in our OHI. When he came in back in January he had a BLACK coated tongue-how about that for a first clinic experience! and I got him using a tongue scraper everyday and his tongue was a beautiful pink this time. He also has been brushing 2xday and flossing with glide and rinsing with listorine daily.. this cute man is 74 yrs old and didnt know much of what i taught him.. it was fun to see that old dogs can learn and do new oral hygiene care.
