DENTAL HISTORY
Mrs. T has visited the dentist approximately once per year for
cleanings and fillings. She has had six extractions. Her
previous dental treatment was performed on various Air
Force bases where her husband was stationed. According
to Mrs. T she was told 6-7 years ago that she needed
periodontal therapy in the lower anterior area and she was
desirous of the treatment. Following this she states that the
only treatment she received was a cleaning. She denies
any history of clenching or bruxing and has no oral habits
other than gum chewing. Mrs. T mentioned that previously
pain occurred in the TMJ area about once per year but this
has not been present in the previous ten years. She also
says that her lower right molar throbs every 3-4 days.
DENTAL HISTORY
Mrs. T brushes once a day with a hard brush using a scrub
motion and flosses once per month. She spends
approximately 1 minute brushing. Her teeth are of minor
importance to her.
