Day 6 – Sanitizing and Regular Procedures

In my first observation, Dr. Siegel started by cleaning the patient’s teeth and gums. Then, she cleansed the teeth with a solution that rinses the first layer of the teeth. Dr. Siegel used a small drill to shave off the excess parts of the teeth to ensure that the bite of the patient felt comfortable and lined up.

Later in the day, the dental hygienists worked on cleaning the Autoclave (a machine that sanitizes equipment and tools). They drained it using distilled water and got rid of bacteria using a solution called Autoclean Autoclave.

I can’t wait for tomorrow!!
