We practiced scaling all teeth today.  I am so glad we got time to work on this.  The angulation is still a struggle but I am getting it.  I just think this is one of those things that needs a lot of practice.  I practiced at home with a pencil and reread the nield book.  HOWEVER, it's just not the same as practicing in a mouth with an instrument and an instructor nearby!!!  I will just keep working on it.  Angie gave me good advise though - we are worried more about the level of comfort of the patient than they actually experience so don't be afraid to retract the cheek!!
