UPDATE

It has been a crazy, busy and fun couple weeks. We have had piles of assignments and so many tests and have been learning a ton. I have been doing well so far and hopefully I can keep it up. I feel like if I miss one thing or don't study my butt off them it is going to hurt me. I have some pictures of me and some of the girls and what we have been doing over the past weeks. Don't get too excited. I know it is unbearable!! We have these mouths that we have to work on at home and work on our positioning and posture. I have horrible posture and have been trying really hard to correct it. We are suppose to practice on them for at least a half hour a day. I haven't really been doing it because we haven't learned how to use our instruments until this week. We actually got into eachothers mouths and used sharp instruments looking for deposits on their teeth. That is pretty risky. We had a little bit of bleeding and some pokes in the mouth. We are going to get more of that happening to us so we better get use to it.
Caitlin working on our egg project in class. We had to paint the egg with two different types of Fluoride and soak it in Vinegar for 24 hours. It was to see if the fluoride worked. It sure did. We used Oral B stop at home fluoride. It was even expired a year and still worked awesome. We also used an in office Varnish that worked great too!! You should use a topical fluoride it would benefit you greatly. Part of our egg that wasn't covered in varnish was really soft and I touched it lightly and my finger went right through it.

What flouride do you recommend?

Oral B Stop and every time you go to the dentist ask them to apply a varnish on your teeth. It hardens and stays on for a long time so it works really well. You should be giving Max Fluoride drops too. But becareful because the Las Vegas water has Fluoride in it. If you are doing formula.
