Yup, he's got 20 of 'em

Wow...whatta week in clinic! Awesome day on Monday with my capstone patient (neighbor, friend, counselor, drinking buddy), Jeremy. He'd never had nitrous and quite likes it! Which is good, cuz he'll be getting more of it!

The rest of the week has been frustrating cuz a lot of my patients are having to reschedule their appointments due to illness. Now, I understand this, and we have some nasty crud running about the Twin Cities at the moment. But my instructors won't care at the end of the semester about that if my patient requirements haven't been met! My 'well' patients couldn't make it in today either, so I ended up bringing Alex in for a clean. Which is fine...he was overdue.. only he won't exactly count toward my patient count this semester cuz we don't have any pediatric requirements. Which stinks, cuz man have we had a lot of kids in the clinic. But I figured it was better to bring him in than to have no patient, and my score on his cleaning will still boost my overall clinic grade. He was good, for a 4 year old, in that situation (clinic time is 2 hrs @ school). He had a blast running the air and water hoses for me :) And my classmates and instructors are ga-ga over him!!! So not only does he have 20 teeth, but 20 'girlfriends' too!!
