Dental School Happenings

I just have to update everyone on what Jed is doing in dental school. Right now he is taking a head/neck anotomy class, a periodontal class, hystology (tissue structure on the cellular level), some sort of immunology class, and some others I don't really want to know about. But what is really funny and cool is that they are starting to work in the clinic already. But they can't see 'real' patients yet just each other. That's right. Today, Jed's first patient was his lab partner. They will take turns learning to clean teeth, take x-rays, floss each other's teeth, take molds, give shots, and examing gums, periodontals, and tooth-like stuff. So the fun has begun. I have to admit I am glad they get to practice on each other and learn what it all feels like before they see real patients. 

Love you all!
