How Sweet It Is!

Well, this is all going to sound pretty nerdy, but I had such a great patient this morning. To start with I'll give you a little background. He came in at the first of the semester and he had perio. He was a 30 year old patient and had never had a cleaning, he had grown up in mexico and had no idea what a toothbrush and floss was. I got him all cleaned up in a couple of appointments, and he came diligently, he listened to my every word...he started flossing and brushing, then I added listerine to his regimen. Today I had him in for a tissue eval., and he looked great! His gums were so healthy and he had diligently brushed and flossed like I had said. It made him and me so happy that his periodontal disease was stopped! He was thrilled...and I was proud of him and myself! I did a great job....and this type of guy makes this job so great!
