It hardly seems like its been almost 6 months since I first started school and I’ve come a long way. From the learning the foundations of dentistry, to the importance of sterilization and OSHA standards, to learning the business side of dentistry ( and a lot of things in between), I’ve learned a lot and there is still more to come.
Now I’m currently studying x-rays as they pertain to the field of dentistry. I’ve already gone over the first chapter (twice) and I can tell this isn’t going to be a walk in the park. I’m not discouraged, just motivated. I’m utilizing the study techniques I blogged about earlier to get me through this. I’ve even found helpful videos on youtube that have helped make sense of what I’m reading (I’m a very visual learner). I can’t wait to get on to the more hands-on stuff, but I have to learn the basics. The basics being the role of photons, atoms, molecules, positive and negatively charged electrons and their role producing x-rays. Yeah, it’s that depth! Wish me luck! I’ll be spending most of this semester learning x-ray stuff.
Let the good times begin. Har har!
