Remember the ORDER... it's important!

Today in clinic we worked with the intra-oral camera. In addition to learning how to properly use the intra-oral camera, we did a mach pt. appointment from beginning until OHI. It was kind of nerve racking at first because, up until this point, we have never put everything together into one "appointment". It's a very good thing we practiced... I learned an importance lesson! I had just finished probing and I asked Prof. Would for an "OD check". She came over to do it and everything was going great - well, except for one thing. I had done EVERYTHING out of order. I had already disclosed my pt. and done OHI BEFORE Prof. Would did the "OD check" - making it PRETTY hard for her to properly do so. OOPS! :/

I guess, unfortunately, sometimes the BEST way to learn is by mistake...because I will NEVER forget the order of an appointment again - you can count on it! :)
