D ENTAL H EALTH
E DUCATION
The patient has been taking good care of
her mouth since she had her crowns placed
and she flosses daily. So I will just reenforce good brushing technique with her
and show her how to use her power
toothbrushes (rota-dent and sonicare) to
clean her teeth properly especially in the
areas where she has crowns, because this
is more than likely the reason for her
higher than satisfactory BOP and MBI
scores.
R ATIONAL FOR C ASE
S ELECTION AND G OALS
I decided to choose this patient because
she has many crowns in her mouth and I
think that she could benefit from good
oral hygiene instructions on how to clean
the areas in her mouth with restorations.
The Goals for this patient include helping
her to maintain good oral hygiene, learn
more ways to care for he restorations, and
complete a full mouth scale on her.
