First day of my SIEP 1 was on 29th of August 2018, it was a very different experience for me because this is the first time that I am expericing the working environment in a dental clinic.

Second of my SIEP 1 was on 29th of August 2018, it was quite a busy day since there was more patients compared to the first day. On this day I was given an opportunity observe inside the surgery room and I also assisted the doctor. I was a little nervous since it was my first experience to enter a dental surgery for the first time . But it was not as bad as I thought because the doctor and the senior nurse was very kind and helpful. They taught me about the tools, treatment and medications too.
Since the treatment wasn't a complicated case, it was easy for me to learn while treatment is going on. I learned about a few basic tools that always needed for all the treatments in a dental field such as :-
a) Mouth mirror
b) Twizzer
c) Probe
This three tools are very basic tools that needed for all then treatments even for a normal check up.Those tools will be placed on a tray. I also learned a few other tools like carver, cement carrier, spectular and so on.I think the knowledge I gain here will be very useful for me throughout my lifetime. The working hours on this day (Wenesday) was from 9am to 4pm, we also had lunch break from 1pm to 2pm.

This is clinic the that I choose to do my SIEP 1, it is placed in a residential area named Bandar Seremban Selatan. It is very near to commuter  stesen Sg.Gadut. The working hour is as shown below :-

Since it was first day of my work I was just taught a few administrative works like :-
a) Filling  in the medicine book
b) Jotting  down the patient attendance book
c) Updating the cash book

I think things that I learned today will be useful for me in the future. Yet in my opinion it would be better if they key in their domentaries using computing system rather than using manual system

Today I am happy that I was given a chance to assist the doctor, and it was a great experience for me

It was my third day of my SIEP 1, the day was quite a busy day too. I am happy to say that on this day I assist the doctor alone without the senior nurse's help. I think this opportunity will give me a chance to learn from my mistakes. I assisted for about two to three patients. Since it was a busy day in the clinic the senior nurse was also busy dealing with patients like fixing appointments for them and giving the medication with the correct instructions. As I was assisting the doctor she also taught me a lot while she was doing the treatments for the patients. There was a case for root canal treatment too, which it was quite a difficult case to assist  for fresh learner like me, the doctor still understood my situation and corrected me when I am wrong. It was a great pleasure to work with such a understanding doctor and nurse. They always keep patience to teach me even they knew that I am only a temporary staff there. Since the working hour over here was an alternative working hour today ( Thursday ) the clinic opens from 3pm to 9 pm.

Since it was a weekend (Saturday) there was not many patients. Most of the patients visited the clinic today was appointment patients. Actually the working hour today also less where it is from 9am untill 1pm. So far there was only two to three patients. First patient was a Samsung panel patient whom came for scaling. Then the second patient was a filling case, it was a amalgam filling case. Lastly there was a patient for denture where we issued a upper full denture today and then we closed the clinic about 1.10pm

# data[].attributes.body
Today was an unusual working day where normally the clinic will not be open on this day. Since we had a holiday for the independence day we was about to work on this day, the was was unexpected because there was a lot of walk in patients for today.

# data[].attributes.body
It was the second week of my SIEP. Today I learned to sterilize dental instruments in a auto calve machine. This is a machine that used to clean up the instruments, it is a must because it prevent from infection of bacteria and viruses. There will be an inspection for the usage of this machine too. If there was any uncleanliness or any clinic that do not use the machine will be fined and will be given a notice letter by the Health Comission Department.

So, to make a work quicker the doctor asked the senior nurse to assist her. While I was registering the patients and giving the medicines to the patients.
