Coloring Charts

Dental Screening

There is this green paper that we have to fill out, with pencil

[[our pencils are not good. Note to self: get pencils that will sharpen before they are halfway gone]]

There are all sorts of things that can go wrong in someone's mouth

From supernumerary [[extra teeth]] to having a diastema [[spaces]]

We as Dental Hygienists must note everything in the mouth.

This includes any hardware that the Doc put in.

This process evaluation wasn't too bad.

You basically color the chart to look like a pt.'s mouth, noting certain things in the comments section.

The only part which is a little difficult, is knowing which color to use.

[[choices between BLUE & RED]]

What has helped me is to note in red the pathology.

[[that means anything wrong in the mouth]]

Here is a picture of the chart to fill out. :)

*This is my chart, and no I couldn't get the picture to turn... :\

*I think with some practice, this will come really easily.

And I cannot wait until we can chart on the computer.
