On Monday 2/25, my patient was my Dad. It was really fun for me to be able to bring him in and show him what I have been doing with my time thus far in the program! :) My Dad's opinion is something that has always been very important to me. So, being able to bring him in as my patient on Monday and have him express how proud and impressed he was with how I was doing really made me feel great! Also, being able to clean his teeth made me really excited about one day being in private practice and being able to make sure my ALL of my family is well taken care of in regards to making sure they stay on top of coming in for their regular cleanings. Lately I have really found how passionate I have become about bringing patients to a "healthy status". I think it is important to keep this passion alive throughout my years of practicing as a Hygienist. I need to make a commitment now to ALWAYS remember to treat EACH patient as a INDIVIDUAL and not a "mouth"!! I am going to be a hygienist who strives to make a difference each and every day and NOT get into a "routine".
I LOVE HYGIENE!!
