Planned Interventions

Clinical Education Oral Hygiene Instruction


Plaque- is a soft white, sticky biofilm Brushing, good home care, and reduce plaque
substance on the teeth. Remove plaque by score.
Scaling hard deposit
brushing correctly. It causes gingivitis,
removal
periodontitis, and caries.

Polishing soft deposit Brushing, flossing, good home care, and


gingivitis- is a reversible inflammation of
removal antiseptic mouth rinse
the gingiva that bleeds easily, it is halted by
flossing and brushing. It leads to
periodontitis and bone loss.
Fluoride application
Bruxism is from grinding and clenching. It
can lead to attrition, and dentin Use mouth guard at night
hypersensitivity. Using a mouth guard will
halt the progression from getting worse.
