Update: In documenting my shadowing experiences (at Highland Dental of Hayward), I intend to post shadow logs including the general procedures performed as well as notes detailing lessons learned.

Procedures Performed:
  • X-Ray and Consultation
  • General Cleaning and Polishing
  • Scaling and Root Planing (SRP)
  • Cavity Fillings
  • Crown Lengthening

Notes:
  • SRP: In the past, this procedure was performed manually by scraping the plaque deep in the gums. Nowadays, dentists use ultrasonic scrapers which are usually faster and less irritating to patients' gums.
  • Business: In order to advertise one's practice in this modern tech-savvy world, it becomes imperative for dental practices to undergo online Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for visibility.
