I ALWAYS LIKE TO ATTACH INSTRUCTIONS TO THE THE GAUZE THAT I WOULD STERILIZE FOR PATIENTS IN LITTLE STERILIZATION BAGS AND LET THEM KNOW I DID THAT FOR THEM TO EARN THEIR TRUST AND IF DOCTOR DOESN'T GIVE P.O CALLS THE NEXT DAY, OFFER TO CHECK ON PATIENTS. THEY LIKE THAT, SHOWS YOU CARE ENOUGH TO CHECK ON THEM.
DRY SOCKET
IF PATIENT USE A STRAW, SMOKED, SPIT, THEN THE BLOOD CLOT IS PULLED OUT AND SOMETIMES HURTS MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL TOOTHACHE, AND IF ALL POSSIBLE AVOID RICE, TO HARD TO GET OUT OF SOCKETS FROM MY EXPERIENCE AS AN ASSISTANT AND USE A TEA BAG TO HELP PROMOTE HEALING. SOME DOCTORS WANT 2X2 GAUZE WET THEN FOLDED TO PREVENT STICKING TO TISSUE AND SOME DON'T WANT YOU TO WET IT. TO EACH THEIR OWN BUT THEY ARE THE BOSS SO FIND OUT. IF SHADOWING THEN WATCH AND LEARN! ONCE COMFORTABLE ADD TO RESUME!
STERILIZATION TIPS
dry blood lives if not removed from surface please keep this in mind
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL INSTRUMENTS CLEAN IF NOT DISPOSABLE FROM ALL DEBRIS, AND STERILIZE HINGE INSTRUMENTS OPEN NOT LATCH!
the decay left on a reusable bur could enter into next patient if not removed properly. it is your job to make sure all is sterilized it is why the doctor gives indirect supervisions.
Frenectomy
Patients who are tongue tie will have a frenectomy done and P.O Instructions are to have them reach as much as possible their tongue and chin to learn to stretch tongue out more, now that it can. No longer held back! Lick away that Ice Cream!
With Laser called Electrosurge and Assistant can suck of the smell with HVE during the process but be careful not to get near it. So patient will not smell their tissue burning. No worries they heal quickly.

Some Dentist will have assistant hold hemostats and Dentist will use scalpel and detach it.
