A few tips from someone who’s done probably thousands of Dental’s over the past 10 years. Though some states allow extractions we really should only be doing ones that are stage 4 mobile and falling out of the mouth. I personally don’t do more than that. You don’t want to be that tech that hits the mandibular artery . I NEVER use spring loaded mouth gags. Ever. Studies have been shown to link to temporary and long term blindness as this puts strain on the TMJ and decreased cerebral blood flow. I NEVER put gauze at the back of the mouth to absorb water. Some do and that’s ok. BUT I’ve forgotten it before and I don’t do it anymore. Always verify cuff is inflated properly to prevent aspiration. Check throughout dental because it can deflate. All Dental’s should have full mouth radiographs - what’s normal above the gum line can be abnormal below. Be sure to take before and after photos to send home with owners. If they can see what they’re paying for they’re more likely to keep with with cleanings. Try to practice ergonomic use of instruments - I say try because it’s not always easy to remember. It can and will cause problems in the future. Case in point I have bilateral carpal tunnel. Remember to chart everything. Be sure to use correct tips for sub and Supra gingival cleaning. They can and will damage below the gum line. Any tips you’d like to share
Again, where was this when I was in school?! Anyone else love these type of flow charts? So cool!

Pretty sure this didn’t click until I had been licensed for a few years ♀️ As a technician this is a MUST whether for your VTNE or in practice. We spend most of our time doing Dental cleaning and X-rays should be a part of any routine cleaning. •
