Seriously....I need to get faster

Goals for session
1. Complete OD in 25 min.
2. Complete 2 Quads

Session Review: I did not complete any of my goals during this experience however I did improve on my OD time. It felt a lot smoother but I need to get more confident in myself. Probing is what really drags me down and I need to improve still on my indirect vision. It seems like my indirect vision is what really hurts me while probing. I am really going to work on improving my indirect vision so that I can achieve my goal of doing my OD in 25 min. I also was not able to get two quads scaled but I was able to learn some things from Instructor Hafen. She taught me how to feel for Calculus and how to scale the distal portion of the second mandibular molars. She had me go from the lingual side to the facial which helped with my lateral pressure. I was able to get more pressure and did not struggle as much. She also found some Calculus and was able to help me feel it with my explorer. However, I am still confused as to what is Calculus and what is the tooth structure, but it is somewhat making more sense to me.
