Blog Reflection:

Blog Reflection: From the entire capstone project I learned a lot about Dentistry. I gained personal and social experience. An this is because I used a lot of communication, and intelligence. while I was at the office of Dr. Woo, I watched carefully as Dr. Woo handled each patient. And to understand everything I had to think like a dentist. I was fully engaged in special treatments at the office by doing small things to help the doctor during busy treatments. I was allowed to show patients where their room was located, and also to hand the doctor tools when their was any kind of treatment going on. I did a lot of small tasks that helped the doctor a lot during busy days. And from all this I learned  what a dentist's job is on a daily basis. Their was some challenges I faced at the office, like watching crowns or cavities being filled. I felt very uncomfortable in the beginning an then slowly I became comfortable. Another challenge for me was understanding how to read x-rays, how impressions are made at the lab, and also understanding symptoms that patients had due to untreated cavities, etc. I learned at the office that teamwork and honesty were what makes a good place. An that its important to have a good relationship with your patients so that they wont hesitate telling you their problem. overall I enjoyed shadowing a dentist, it was fascinating to see possible ways to fix problems in the mouth. I would also say that I have improved as a shadowier because when I first started to see things happening in the office it was confusing a lot  but slowly I started to recognize everyday procedures their. Overall I had a good experience their working with a dentist and patients, and I learned a lot about Dentistry.
