🦷 First Impressions Matter—Literally! Abilene DAS Students Dive into Dental Practice with Confidence

There’s something special about firsts—and at Abilene Dental Assistant School, our students are making the most of every one. This week, the PM class tackled their very first dental impressions, combining hands-on skill building with lots of smiles and laughter! 😁🦷 Learning doesn’t have to be serious all the time—our students are proof that confidence grows faster in a fun and supportive environment.

💡 What Do First Impressions Teach?

Taking alginate impressions is one of the first key skills in dental assisting. In this session, students learned how to:

• Properly mix and load alginate
• Take accurate upper and lower impressions
• Communicate with patients during the process
• Work efficiently with clinical partners

And yes, we had a few “gooey” laughs along the way!
