Teeth Collector

Last week, the dental clinic was closed for spring break. The plan was that the clinic was going to undergo a much needed makeover during this time, as new equipment and operatory chairs were supposed to come in. The anticipation to see the new clinic was building as I drove over to the clinic yesterday, but to my disappointment, everything was the same. The dentist wasn't too pleased with this, but word from the dental clinic manager was that the new equipment was going to come in this Thursday and Friday for sure. I can't wait to see how everything looks next week.

I assisted on a composite filling and an extraction. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, so I'll keep this one short. One thing worth mentioning though: dental school requires that I collect teeth to practice on. I'll be leaving a jar filled with bleach at the clinic, and the dental assistant will make sure that she fills that jar with pretty little teeth for me. It sounds kind of creepy to me to collect random people's teeth, but hey, it's what I have to do.
