Does anyone know someone with really nasty teeth? If so, please give them my phone number 628-8309. Seriously, I have to find a mock-board patient and they have to have a ton of crap on their teeth to qualify to be my patient, this is in 2 weeks mind you. Today, neither of my patients showed up. Luckily Russ, a classmate of mine, had an extra patient I was able to clean so I wasn't a complete waste of space. But my afternoon pt. who might have qualified for boards, didn't bother to show up either. So now I am left, with 2 weeks left, to find someone to qualify.

Skye,
Hey, I'm sorry, I don't even think I can access my weber account anymore-I haven't tried. :) As far as advice goes, I would say that I hardly used the decks at all. I mostly reviewed stuff w/ the Mosbys and then really go over the old boards and any other ones you can get. The binder I gave you has basically all the ones that I saw, so if you feel like you want to look over more, try to find some that are newer than the '96 one. I actually think I did look at a 2000 one. I don't remember. But go over those and if you ever have a question on a question go through mosby's or your wilkins book and find the answer. When I was studying w/ people and had a question and didn't want to hold everyone up, I also kept a notebook w/ stuff that I wanted to follow up on, like look into more. I hope all of this is making sense! If you have any ?'s really, give me a call!
Also, with the decks, we did go over them, but we wouldn't read all the crap on the back. Just read the question and know the answer. We only went over a few sections though. I would suggest going over radiology. I didn't and I'm pretty sure I hit the pavement in that section. Anyhow, on that ADA webpage they should have a breakdown of how many questions will be from what topic, then you can focus on some topics more than others.
Good luck!

Hey Skye,
I came across your blog randomly and giggled when the first thing I saw was the infamous calculus bridge that we all dream of. Good luck finding a mock board, I luckily just found one but forgot to take PA's (I was too excited to think clearly). Your blog is really cute!! See you in class.
Skye that is the sickest picture I've ever seen!! Are you sure you want to be a hygienist!! Ha ha, don't worry, I've seen my share of sick stuff too as an assistant.
Ok, so i want to be a dental hygenist. I thought, until i saw that picture! how can you do it! I may need some pointers, I don't know if i could handle it. wow. It might make me sick. I wanted to go into something medical but i can't handle blood and guts, so i thought that dental hygiene was the thing for me. maybe not?
