So I have come to the realization that this dental hygiene thing is a lot harder to master than I thought. It doesn't help that I don't use the right hand as my dominant. I'm actually starting to ponder the idea of using my right hand as well, it would definitely would make things easier between monday's instructors and I. I don't think my pod would have too much confidence in me to practice if I used my off hand, so it will have to wait until summer I guess.
Now to get to the point of the title, I realized today that the scaler is very finite and tactile, but I also found my instrument becoming a little slippery over time between my fingers due to the sweat in my nitrile glove. I know with time this skill will become easier and less stressful. I know what you are thinking, "I'm never going to be Mark's patient." I can guarantee you that I won't drop the scaler in the back of your mouth or prick your bums until it's a bloody mess. That's what my classmates are for...Hehe!
Mark, out.
