,‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ Chapter’01:’The’Dental’Hygiene’Profession


MULTIPLE’CHOICE

1. What’is’the’discipline’of’dental’hygiene?
a. The’study’of’teeth’and’their’supporting’structures
b. Brushing’and’flossing’one’s’teeth’and’rinsing’with’an’antimicrobial’mouth’rinse’
twice’a’day,’morning’and’night
c. The’study’of’preventive’oral’healthcare,’including’the’management’of’behavior’to’
prevent’oral’disease’and’promote’health
d. The’study’of’those’procedures’that’dental’hygienists’provide’to’clients
ANS:’ C
The’study’of’teeth’and’their’supporting’structures.’This’answer’is’wrong’because’the’discipline’
of’dental’hygiene’covers’much’more’information’than’the’study’of’teeth’and’supporting’structu
res.’Dental’hygiene’focuses’on’the’preventive’measures’that’the’teeth’and’supporting’structures
’must’receive,’in’addition’to’other’oral’healthcare’steps’that’must’be’taken’to’ promote’one’s’he
alth.
Brushing’and’flossing’one’s’teeth’and’rinsing’with’an’antimicrobial’mouth’rinse’twice’a’day,’m
orning’and’night.’This’answer’is’wrong’because’this’statement’describes’only’one’procedure’wi
thin’the’discipline’of’dental’hygiene.’Dental’hygiene’is’a’much’larger’and’general’field’of’study
’than’this’simple’preventive’action.
The’study’of’preventive’oral’healthcare’including’the’management’of’behavior’to’prevent’oral’d
isease’and’promote’health.’This’answer’is’correct’because’this’is’the’direct’definition’of’dental’
hygiene.’The’definition’can’be’broken’down’into’smaller,’specified’divisions’to’further’develop
’the’discipline’of’dental’hygiene.
The’study’of’those’procedures’that’dental’hygienists’provide’to’clients.’This’answer’is’wrong’b
ecause’dental’hygienists’play’many’interrelated’roles,’such’as’clinician,’educator,’administrato
r’or’manager,’advocate,’and’researcher.’Although’each’of’these’roles’is’created’to’assist’in’denta
l’hygiene,’the’discipline’is’not’centered’on’the’actions’and’procedures’of’the’dental’hygienist.

2. Who’is’the’professional’dental’hygienist?
a. A’licensed’preventive’oral’health’professional’who’has’graduated’from’a’Co
mmission’on’Dental’Accreditation,’accredited,’entry’level’dental’hygiene’pro
gram
b. A’licensed’person’who’has’learned’on’the’job’via’a’preceptorship’program,’such’as’t
he’Alabama’Dental’Hygienists’Program
c. A’dentist’who’has’graduated’from’a’Commission’on’Dental’Accreditation,’
accredited,’dental’school’program
d. A’person’who’has’graduated’from’a’Commission’on’Dental’Accreditation,’
accredited,’dental’assisting’program
ANS:’ A

, A’licensed’preventive’oral’health’professional’who’has’graduated’from’a’Commission’on’Dent
al’Accreditation,’accredited,’entry’level’dental’hygiene’program.’This’answer’is’correct’becaus
e’to’be’eligible’as’a’professional’dental’hygienist,’the’person’must’have’graduated’from’an’accr
edited’dental’hygiene’program.
A’licensed’person’who’has’learned’on’the’job’via’a’preceptorship’program,’such’as’the’Alabam
a’Dental’Hygienists’Program.’This’answer’is’wrong’because’a’dental’hygienist’cannot’learn’on’
the’job’to’become’a’professional.’Rather,’they’must’pass’written’examinations’and’graduate’fro
m’an’accredited’dental’hygiene’program.
A’dentist’who’has’graduated’from’a’Commission’on’Dental’Accreditation,’accredited,’dental’sc
hool’program.’This’answer’is’wrong’because’a’dentist’has’a’higher’degree’than’a’dental’hygien
ist’and’therefore,’generally,’works’above’a’dental’hygienist.’It’is’not’necessary’for’a’dental’hyg
ienist’to’receive’an’education’from’a’dental’school.
A’person’who’has’graduated’from’a’Commission’on’Dental’Accreditation,’accredited,’dental’as
sisting’program.’This’answer’is’wrong’because’a’person’graduating’from’an’accredited’dental’a
ssisting’program’would’only’be’licensed’as’a’dental’assistant.

3. All’of’these’services’are’provided’by’the’majority’of’dental’hygienists’in’the’clinical’setting
except’one.’Which’one’is’the’exception?
a. Perform’periodontal’maintenance’care.
b. Implement’interventions’to’direct’a’person’back’to’oral’wellness.
c. Provide’fluoride’varnish’treatment.
d. Place’and’remove’restorations.
ANS:’ D
Perform’periodontal’maintenance’care.’This’is’a’service’provided’in’the’clinical’setting.’The’cli
nical’setting’allows’for’application’of’preventive’and’therapeutic’agents’related’to’periodontal’
disease.’For’example:’subgingival’sustained-release’delivery’systems’containing’chlorhexidine.
Implement’interventions’to’direct’a’person’back’to’oral’wellness.’This’is’a’service’provided’in’t
he’clinical’setting.’The’main’goal’of’a’dental’hygienist’is’to’prevent’oral’disease’and’promote’h
ealth.’Therefore,’if’the’state’of’an’individual’s’oral’health’changes,’the’dental’hygienist’(within’
the’scope’of’the’clinical’setting)’can’provide’some’degree’of’intervention’to’direct’the’individu
al’back’to’oral’wellness.
Provide’fluoride’varnish’treatment.’This’is’a’service’provided’in’the’clinical’setting.’The’clinic
al’setting’allows’for’application’of’preventive’and’therapeutic’agents’related’to’dental’caries.’Fl
uoride’varnish’treatments’prolong’fluoride’exposure’on’the’tooth’surface’for’safe’and’effective’
caries’control.
Place’and’remove’restorations.’This’service’is’not’provided’by’the’majority’of’dental’hygienist
s’in’the’clinical’setting.’Only’a’few’dental’hygienists’have’the’certification’to’place’restorations
,’while’many’others’do’not.’Also,’the’removal’of’restorations’is’not’a’given’action’of’a’dental’hy
gienist’in’the’clinical’setting.

4. Which’of’the’following’is’a’key’behavior’within’the’dental’hygiene’process’of’care?
