I found a cavity.

One day I woke up and found that there was a dark spot on tooth number 32! I started to brush really hard cause I thought it was food and it would not go away. That day I was working with Alli in clinic. By that time we had been using the explorer but not the Shepard's hook. At least I had never used it before not having worked in a clinic. Alli had so I asked her to see if it was a cavity. Sure enough the Shepard's hook stuck right on the occlusal surface of tooth number 32. Mrs. McGregar was walking by at the time and she confirmed that it looked like a cavity. Today a few weeks later I am going to the Dentist. I'm not too excited about telling my dentist that I have a cavity. Its a little disappointing but I have come to the conclusion that studying causes cavities. I sit in the library and drink my Starbucks all night long. I'm blame my cavity on my academics.

  1. It is good that we are in dental hygiene school and that we have all of these wonderful people to check our teeth. I would have been a little anxious to find out myself, what exactly was going on with my tooth. I hope that your dental visit afterwards proves to reconcil your situation. It was probably not a result of careless oral hygiene, but a result of you being so sweet!
