I’m 4 days into my classes. So far, I’ve already done a wax up of #10 (right maxillary lateral incisor) and drilled on a learn-a-prep. I’ll have to upload pictures later.

We received our assignment to do a wax-up of #10 and I’ve redone it twice and finally my third attempt is looking like a real tooth and not some disgusting mass of colored wax. I was told my wax up looks really good but after spending 10 hours on it, I’d hope it does. I was also told I’m spending too much time on it and that I can’t do that if I hope to keep up. Perhaps … since I’ve stayed up until 2 am for the past two nights working on it. I guess that’s also the reasoning behind “dental school is a marathon, not a sprint”. Well, since I had the time and have found it surprisingly fun to do wax ups, I don’t really mind.

Other than that, the week has been mostly introductions and orientations into the course.
