Gsupporting G structures G must G receive, G in G addition G to G other G oral G healthcare G steps
G that G must G be G taken G to G promote G one’s G health.
Brushing G and G flossing G one’s G teeth G and G rinsing G with G an G antimicrobial
G mouth G rinse Gtwice G a G day, G morning G and G night. G This G answer G is G wrong
G because G this G statement Gdescribes G only G one G procedure G within G the G discipline
G of G dental G hygiene. G Dental G hygiene Gis G a G much G larger G and G general G field
G of G study G than G this G simple G preventive G action.
The G study G of G preventive G oral G healthcare G including G the G management G of
G behavior G to Gprevent G oral G disease G and G promote G health. G This G answer G is
G correct G because G this G is G the Gdirect G definition G of G dental G hygiene. G The
G definition G can G be G broken G down G into Gsmaller, G specified G divisions G to
G further G develop G the G discipline G of G dental G hygiene.
The G study G of G those G procedures G that G dental G hygienists G provide G to
G clients. G This Ganswer G is G wrong G because G dental G hygienists G play G many
G interrelated G roles, G such G as Gclinician, G educator, G administrator G or G manager,
G advocate, G and G researcher. G Although Geach G of G these G roles G is G created G to
G assist G in G dental G hygiene, G the G discipline G is G not Gcentered G on G the
