This is my first entry on "our" blog! Matt has been doing this single handed until now. A couple of days before Matt's b-day I made Funfetti cupcakes and took them to school to celebrate his 27th birthday with his fellow students and friends. We had a rather dry get together (I forgot to bring milk) in a side room on the 6th floor of the NYU Dental Center. Since I didn't have work that day Matt burrowed a friends lab coat, thanks Ryan, and I headed into the lab with 120 other students wearing white lab coats. (I fit right in...only I was the only girl with a lab coat that was 10 times to big!) I watched Matt insert an Amalgam filling into a plastic premolar in a dummy's permanently open mouth.
(not actual tooth)
It was pretty cool. I left while he finished up his requirement for the day and then I got to go back up and do some drilling!
I wasn't very good at it. The thought of doing that on real teeth in a real person's mouth is scary!! I am glad it is Matt training for this and not me. Good luck all you dental students; keep up the good work!

Matt... that is rad that you get to practice drilling and filling already. It makes all of the studying crap worth while. Julee, I am glad you have entered the blogging world... I will have to check your blog more often.
Hey Julee and Matt! I'm glad I ran across your blog on Lyss's site. I agree, Julee, that drilling into someone's tooth is way too scary for me--although I'm glad someone is willing to do it! It's great to see what fun you are having back east. Where are you working there?

Julee, if Matt can do it, anyone can! Just kidding. It's tough, but that's why we will be getting paid the big bucks! :) You're welcome for the coat, I am just glad nobody found out you were smuggled into the lab...
Haha, I was laughing that you snuck into the lab, and then to find out it was with my hubby's lab coat made it all the better. You're so sweet to Matt, he better appreciate it!
