Crazy Day!

Well, this morning was kind of crazy. I had a no show pt. but I picked one up from the dental clinic across the hall. This guy was only in his 30's and had the grossest mouth I have ever seen. He had 3 absesses and a huge fenestration below tooth 23. (A fenestration is a place that is so infected the gum tissue dissolves and exposes the bone and tooth). It was so cool, but oh so nasty. Stinky is also a good word. This guy had some severe/chronic infection. I scheduled him for next semester. Hopefully he will come in, he was very worried about the cost. I may end up paying for him, since he was 4 quads class 4...and we all know those are rare! Then, this afternoon I had a patient come in, but someone else needed the requirements so I gave him away. I am starting to wonder if the instructors think I am lazy because I have given so many patients away! But, I have all of my requirements done! Hooray....now, it is time for a much needed looong Christmas break!!
