Blue Boa, Typodont, and PPE

In clinic today we had a guest speaker who is the inventor of the blue boa. It was cool to see a hygienist who saw a problem and came up with a solution to help other hygienists while using an ultrsonic scaler. I was impressed with her idea! We then got to practice with the blue boa and our typodonts and with using the suction. It was fun to do something hands-on for the first time in clinic. We also learned about personal protection equipmet and the proper ways to stay clean and safe by using gloves, masks, and safety eyewear. I was glad that I was able to pass off my Eaglesoft PE today so that I can focus on my next PE. We then watched a video about Universal Safety for health care professionals. I love how all of us girls are already becoming good friends. There is a little comfort in knowing I have 29 other people stressing and learning along with me!
