ANS: X t C
The study of teeth and their supporting structures. This answer is wrong because the discipli
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


ne of dental hygiene covers much more information than the study of teeth and supporting
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


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 pr

omote one’s health. Xt Xt


Brushing and flossing one’s teeth and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouth rinse twice a da

y, morning and night. This answer is wrong because this statement describes only one proce

dure within the discipline of dental hygiene. Dental hygiene is a much larger and general f

ield of study than this simple preventive action.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


The study of preventive oral healthcare including the management of behavior to prevent or
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


al disease and promote health. This answer is correct because this is the direct definition o
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


f dental hygiene. The definition can be broken down into smaller, specified divisions to furt

her develop the discipline of dental hygiene.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


The study of those procedures that dental hygienists provide to clients. This answer is wro
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


ng because dental hygienists play many interrelated roles, such as clinician, educator, admi

nistrator or manager, advocate, and researcher. Although each of these roles is created to ass

A licensed preventive oral health professional who has graduated from a Commission on D

ental Accreditation, accredited, entry level dental hygiene program. This answer is correct
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


because to be eligible as a professional dental hygienist, the person must have graduated fro

Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


A licensed person who has learned on the job via a preceptorship program, such as the Ala

graduate from an accredited dental hygiene program.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


A dentist who has graduated from a Commission on Dental Accreditation, accredited, dental
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


school program. This answer is wrong because a dentist has a higher degree than a dental
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt X


hygienist and therefore, generally, works above a dental hygienist. It is not necessary for a

dental hygienist to receive an education from a dental school.

A person who has graduated from a Commission on Dental Accreditation, accredited, dental

Implement interventions to direct a person back to oral wellness. This is a service provided
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


in the clinical setting. The main goal of a dental hygienist is to prevent oral disease and pro

mote health. Therefore, if the state of an individual’s oral health changes, the dental hygie
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

d. Client care Xt

Observation. This answer is wrong because dental hygienists must go further than simply o

bserving the client. The hygienist must assess the client by thoroughly collecting data. Dia

gnosis. This answer is correct because identifying the diagnosis is the focal point for establ

Communication skills. This answer is wrong because the communication skills are not a key be

Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


Client care. This answer is wrong because client care is not one of the steps in dental hygie

a. Age

Lifestyles. This answer is an environmental factor that must be taken into account because an in

an individual’s weight does not affect their oral health. The diet choices that go along with
