Getting ready to roll

Today we used the air poweder polisher. This thing is like a sand blaster!! It spays sodium bicarbonate with air and water. When applied to the tooth surface it removes stains. You have to be careful not to hit the gums or other restorative structures because it hurts and can be damaging. I passed off my PE and pacticed polishing and how it would be charted. I am looking forward to seeing my first patient in a couple of weeks.
