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!!
