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
structures. 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 health.
Brushing and flossing one’s teeth and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouth rinse twice a day,
morning and night. This answer is wrong because this statement describes only one procedure
within 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
disease 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
because dental hygienists play many interrelated roles, such as clinician, educator,
administrator or manager, advocate, and researcher. Although each of these roles is created to
assist in dental hygiene, the discipline is not centered on the actions and procedures of the
dental hygienist.
