Whenever we meet a new patient, one of the first ☝️ things that we need to learn about them is their medical history, and if they are taking any medication. Have you ever been stumped once the patient lists down what they’re taking?

Celebrating Small Wins! 😍😍 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #repost • @flossyourself_nyc Today, I took impressions for a diagnostic cast & whitening trays! 🦷 I’m holding my cast that I will use for a whitening tray & next to me on the table is my future diagnostic cast! 😬 This is definitely not a strong area for me & I’m always nervous to complete these competencies. There will always be moments of doubt, but you just have to push through! My Advice: Always ask for help! Don’t be shy 🙈 Some days will be struggles & others will not... Just know that at the end of the day you’ve got this! 💪 A big THANK YOU to @vsssig @adinuhhh for helping me through the day! 💕 #studentrdh #dentalhygiene #dental #dentistry #dentalschool #teeth #tooth #diagnosticcast #whiteningtray #oralhealth #smiles #nyc #scrubs #scrublife #flossyourselfnyc #personalblog
Wednesday Review Is here! 👀 🧐 Q: The patient’s tongue is affected by:⠀ ⠀ A. Hairy tongue⠀ B. Erythema migrans ⠀ C. Median rhomboid glossitis⠀ D. Hairy leukoplakia⠀ ⠀ ✅ The most important clue in this image is the redness in the middle of the tongue. Now let’s review the definitions of each condition.⠀ 💠 Median rhomboid glossitis: Condition with a flat or slightly raised erythematous area in the midline of the dorsal surface of the tongue in a rhomboid (diamond) shape.⠀ 💠 Erythema migrans or benign migratory glossitis: Condition with erythematous patches surrounded by a white or yellow border on the dorsal and lateral borders of the tongue. ⠀ 💠 Hairy tongue: Condition with dark staining of the accumulated keratin on the filiform papillae.⠀ 💠 Hairy leukoplakia: Lesions caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that appear as white patches that resemble folds or ridges on the sides of the tongue.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 🔅 Answer: (C). Median rhomboid glossitis🔅⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ Median rhomboid glossitis vs erythema migrans⠀ ⠀ As simple as this is, I have seen some students misinterpret this condition to erythema migrans. From StudentRDH boards review for the national boards, in the chapter of Oral pathology. Geographic tongue (aka erythema migrans):⠀ 🔸 Erythematous patches surrounded by a white or yellow border on the dorsal and lateral borders of the tongue. Also called erythema migrans or benign migratory glossitis. The cause of the condition is unknown. No specific treatment is indicated.⠀ 🔸 Patches can disappear and reappear in a different location.⠀ 🔸 Filiform papillae are lost on the affected areas and the condition can cause a burning sensation.⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ The most important clue when detecting erythema migrans (= benign migratory glossitis) is the “white or yellow” borders that surround the redness.⠀ ⠀ Look for every piece of a clue that you can find:⠀ ◻️ Color (red, white, yellow etc.)⠀ ◻️ Location (hard palate, lip etc.)⠀ ◻️ Inside (clear, yellow pus etc.)⠀ ◻️ Size (tiny, small, large etc.)⠀ ◻️ Texture (round, cauliflower-like, cottage cheese-like etc.)⠀ ⠀ If you have anything that confuses you (like hell), email me at Clairej@StudentRDH.com
Random pics w Dexter during radiology✨ Guess what I just did? I scheduled my BOARD EXAM!! 😭 so crazy I can’t believe it’s really already that time , it doesn’t feel real. I’m finding that I’m def less stressed this semester (maybe things will change later on lmao) but right now I’m just so excited that this is really the last semester. And just looking forward to that feeling when all my exams are passed and RDH is officially added to my name 🥺🦷 #repost • @crystalianne #studentrdh #dentalhygiene #rdhlife #dentalhygienist #dentalhygieneschool #dentalhygienestudent #dentalhygiene #positivevibes #positivity #rdhlife #rdhstudent #dhlife #futurerdh #dhschool #braintips #wakeupmemory #success #successandnothingless 🦷❤️
