WOMEN'S HEALTH CONNECTION

Hello Fellas!

So, Women's Health Connection was a riot! Just want to point out that I was able to translate from English and Spanish and vice verse A LOT (which was a neat experience), also was able to preform an extra oral exam and saw oral cancer signs in one patient . I think the thing that I could improve on is feeling comfortable at naming the teeth numbers while exploring them and feel a bit more comfortable at saying the location of the caries in a tooth i.e. Occusal, lingual on number 16.
I have as a goal to know and feel comfortable with the teeth numbering system as well as the location naming. Also, I want to be able to be an expert at doing extra oral exams. I realized how important those are since I was able to preform an intra oral exam in a patient that just had oral cancer surgery. This patient was literally missing half of her palate and it took me a couple breaths before starting her intra oral exam.

Overall, WOmen's health connection was a good experienced and even thought I felt nervous I was able to get excited about "Hands on" Dental Hygiene.
