Its a clinic our school does for the community once a year. We start cleanings at 7 AM and the whole school is working like mad men! Radiology always has people lined up out the door, oral surgery is stacked up and the dental students are filling, extracting, and anything else you can think of-- and we do it all for free.
People line up the day before like its black Friday. We advertise this clinic everywhere and always get a huge turn out. Its sad, we have to turn many people away because there's just not enough time in our day.
We were able to clean so many teeth today though! Such a good experience-- the patients are in and out of our chairs so fast! I love it! It was also super nice today, cause a dental assisting school came to help us out. I could definitely get used to having an assistant.
In our hygiene clinic, we are always secretly scouring for CBC (mock board) and board patients. This event alone, will hopefully bring in half of our class's CBC patients. We have screenings next week so hopefully we find some! Crossing my fingers :)
