I'm just a Bill...

Last week the Dental Hygiene schools of Arizona swarmed the Capitol building. Dental hygienists are currently trying get a bill passed. We spent the day learning how a bill is passed. Little did they know that I watched School House rock's "I'm just a Bill" when I was younger, and we could have just bypassed that whole part. Then we waited to meet/ talk with legislators to help them understand this bill. I think it was a successful day and I learned that I do not want to become a legislator when I grow up, I will stick with Dental Hygiene.

Here are some pictures of the Lovely Ladies of the class of 2010.

This semester we get to experience working in what is called an "affiliated practice", it is a practice run by Hygienists and they don't have to have a doctor on site.The clinic is held at an elementary school,and we provide free preventive services for children in need. It has been one of the most rewarding and eyeopening experiences. I don't have any pictures of us down in the trenches battling plaque and tarter(which there was a lot of !!!!) but here is a little view of the clinic and school.

First impressions are the most important!

Our instructors want us to experience everything our patients will so get to try/practice lots of things!
