woohooo. good ending to my week.

yay. today was assigned to oral surgery clinic instead of consult. soooooooooo exciting!

n the most exciting part is---- ai ling extracted a lower right second molar herself!!!! managed to remove the molar with Coupland 1, 2 and 3. no forceps. reading a textbook is just nothing like doing it on a real patient. god, now i figure out the physics of levering in using the elevators. they realli do work so well!!

well, the patient was happy with the whole thing. the tutor, Gormally decided to refer him to the X-ray department because there were lots of other grossly carious teeth present. n guess what, the patient came back afterwards for review and he was given a treatment plan to have a total of 8 teeth extracted in the next appointment.

so the moral of the story--- take care of yr teeth. otherwise, u still have another option to opt for, cause i am kinda in love with extracting teeth now. maybe a discount for you next time too.
