According to the job out look, a day as a dental hygienist can include taking x-rays, cleaning and scaling teeth, charting treatment plans, putting sealants on teeth, taking impressions of teeth and completing information about the patient’s oral and medical history (Summary). In some states dental hygienist are allowed to give local anesthetic and place and remove sutures (Delivering Local Anesthetic).

My goal throughout this program was to help my clients achieve their optimal oral health goals through education, health promotion and providing preventive and clinical therapy.

It is for this reason why dentist recommend a healthy fluoride solution to be included into your daily brushing routine; this mouthwash solution will help flush away any food remnants and harmful bacteria from the hard to reach crevasses in the mouth.

Tooth brushing is a necessary skill that should be acquired through early childhood because oral health is one of the most important factors for the prevention of oral cavity and periodontal diseases and general health. Tooth brushing is one of the ADL’s that I perform on a daily basis. I perform this individualized activity twice a day. In performing this activity, the objects/tools required to complete this task are tooth brush, toothpaste, water, and sink. While brushing my teeth, I stood in the bathroom, a foot away from the mirror, in front of the sink, standing close to the compartment where the toothbrush and toothpaste were so that I could reach and grab them at ease. Inside the bathroom, the light was bright and my face was clear in

On my left was a grey haired man wearing a ratty brown cardigan.
My first choice for water flosser to use in my home is the Waterpik WP-900. Space is at a premium in the master bathroom, and a rechargeable sonic toothbrush is a must for my dental care routine.
