I went to see my mentor for the 2nd time on April 5. Unlike the last time I went, it was actually pretty slow. I got there around nine; my mentor was just setting up for the 1st 2 appointment which were a married couple. After she was done setting up she began to prep for a temporary one of the patient was having. While was setting the patient began to talk to me about my plans after high school. She asked me where I was going to college and if I was interested in the dental field. As she was asking me I relieved that I should really pursue a career I would actually enjoy and dental assisting isn’t that. When my mentor was done prepping she began to measure the tooth she was going to put the temporary. She would put this white stuff inside her mouth for about a min. When it was set it would have a mold of the tooth that needed the temporary. While she was putting the actually temporary my mentor told me to go inside the room where they sanitize the utensils. While I sat there the dentist came in and told me to sanitize stuff for her. After I was done she told me to go be the receptionist. I basically did that for the rest of the day.
