Hey guys
I was just able to assist for the first time (I'm shadowing) and thought it was really difficult to work in the mouth b/c there was like no room.... granted, I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing, but should I be concerned? Did anyone else suck at working in such a small space when they started d-school and then get better? Thanks in advance.
 
Remember when you started taking algebra in school, and you were like "zOMG algebras r liek sooooo hard!!11", and after 10 some years of doing it it's the easiest thing in the world?

It's sort of like that.

Hate to rain on your parade, but it gets worse. Wait until you get a huge tongue and massive cheeks, and then add halitosis......The roses do smell better on the other side.😀
 
Pray you never get a patient with epidermolysis bullosa. Whatever you touch peels off and blisters, no vestibules from scar tissue, can barely open...just to list a few of the difficulties.
