Probing!

Yesterday in clinic we learned probing.  I was so nervous to try it!  I wasn't even worried about getting probed on but I didn't want to hurt Heidi!  Well  the good news is I think i only hurt her a few times, well hopefully!  If I hurt her more than that then she is a good sport because she didn't say it hurt too bad.  Probing was definitely harder than I thought it would be because at first it is kind of hard to tell how hard to push.  By the end I did feel more confident in what I was doing.  I also got to wear some loupes and they helped me so much! Actually just recently I was thinking of waiting to get loupes and now I know I can't wait. This weekend is convention and I want to look at some because I feel they will make me a better hygienist.  Next time in clinic we are learning how to explore and that will be fun too.  It is all coming so fast now and it is making me nervous and excited at the same time!
