Wow! A whole week of DH has just passed by. It was incredibly... slow. =A= ! It was slow and fast at the same time... well in the long run it was Slow, but during the day its.. fast? Arg, nvm, I don't know. Its just .. Lets just say, on the second day of class... we all felt like it has been a month since we were there. LOL XD But when class starts, it goes by quick bc we are all so focused on learning everything!

Captain: Why, Hello Federick P. James the II ! The first is my 3ft Nutcracker in my room. P stands for Phillips! |
Yea ~ I got teeth to be practicing on.. LOL... that thing.. is like 800$ bucks.... :\ !! But its like real teeth! *u*!! hehe
~~~~~~~~~
Srsly, it has only been just the first week of school, but there is already so much to do! I have a research paper due every week, I have 2 presentations coming up, 1 oncurring long project to do, a single presentation to do, and on top of that, I have to be practicing my skills during clinic/lab. :\ Its a hand full. Theres so much to learn! @A@!!!
----------------------------
Its funny ~ A lot of people underestimate what a Dental Hygienist is. And just by the first week of class, I would have to say, I am one of those people. I srsly thought we "just clean teeth" But noo nonononononononoooooo nooooooooooo~~ Theres soooooooooo much more to it. We are basically like the Dentist... the only thing we DONT do.. is pull teeth out. but otherwise... its crazy how much crap we have to learn!
Basically we are the ones who take care of all the possible diseases that can happen in the mouth. People don't realize this, but things that happen in your mouth, can affect your WHOLE entire body. There are so many medical situations and details that we have to know in order not to cause more harm to the body. I would have to be able to identify everything and anything that is going on in your mouth. There are a bajillion things that can happen as well. Madness I tell you! Not only that, we have to be able to know how to cure every nook and crack you got in that mouth! Sooo much to learn and to! Soon, I would have to know what each crack, groove, put, curve, sides of EVERY tooth in the mouth by heart and by dimensions. Also, learn all the nerves that run in the mouth so I can do the anesthesia injection correctly too! There is just so much to learn! haha ~ Its really quite overwhelming!
ALSO ontop of all this medical stuff ~ theres also perfecting of techniques. Its really hard to position yourself correctly and hold the instrument correctly without jabbing someone. Trust me.. all the instruments I have... are freakin sharp as hell. LOL I love it <3 ! costed me like... 4k .. but wow... its gorgeous LOL XD
We are also nutritionist and educators. We have to learn how to be TEACHERS at the same time :\ ! I also have to learn how to make lesson plans which I have like 3 due soon =A= fml .!!! Learning how to teach is very important in the process of preventing peridontal diseases!! GAHHH!!! I will learn how Bear feels like when she teaches. LOL XD ! Hopefully I will be an awesome teacher as well. hehe XD !
