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
CORRECT ANSWER: C
The study of teeth and their supporting structures. This Answeris 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 Answeris 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 Answeris 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 Answeris 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.

2. Who is the professional dental hygienist?

Dental Accreditation, accredited, entry level dental hygiene program
b. A licensed person who has learned on the job via a preceptorship program, such as the
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
