MULTIPLE CHOICE rq




1. What is the discipline of dental hygiene?
rq rq rq rq rq rq


a. The study of teeth and their supporting structures
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


b. Brushing and flossing one’s teeth and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouth
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


rinse twice a day, morning and night
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


c. The study of preventive oral healthcare, including the management of behavior
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


to prevent oral disease and promote health
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


d. The study of those procedures that dental hygienists provide to clients
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




ANS: r q C
The study of teeth and their supporting structures. This answer is wrong because the
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


discipline of dental hygiene covers much more information than the study of teeth and
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


supporting structures. Dental hygiene focuses on the preventive measures that the teeth
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


and supporting structures must receive, in addition to other oral healthcare steps that must
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


be taken to promote one’s health.
rq rq rq r q rq rq


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


day, morning and night. This answer is wrong because this statement describes only one
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


procedure within the discipline of dental hygiene. Dental hygiene is a much larger and
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


general field of study than this simple preventive action.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


oral disease and promote health. This answer is correct because this is the direct
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


definition of dental hygiene. The definition can be broken down into smaller, specified
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


divisions to further develop the discipline of dental hygiene.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


wrong because dental hygienists play many interrelated roles, such as clinician, educator,
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


administrator or manager, advocate, and researcher. Although each of these roles is created
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


to assist in dental hygiene, the discipline is not centered on the actions and procedures of
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


the dental hygienist.

2. Who is the professional dental hygienist?
rq rq rq rq rq


a. A licensed preventive oral health professional who has graduated from a
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Commission on Dental Accreditation, accredited, entry level dental
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


hygiene program
rq rq


b. A licensed person who has learned on the job via a preceptorship program, such
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


as the Alabama Dental Hygienists Program
rq rq rq rq rq rq


c. A dentist who has graduated from a Commission on Dental
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Accreditation, accredited, dental school program
rq rq rq rq rq


d. A person who has graduated from a Commission on Dental
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Accreditation, accredited, dental assisting program
rq rq rq rq rq



ANS: r q A

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


Dental Accreditation, accredited, entry level dental hygiene program. This answer is
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


correct because to be eligible as a professional dental hygienist, the person must have
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


graduated from an accredited dental hygiene program.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


Alabama Dental Hygienists Program. This answer is wrong because a dental hygienist
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


cannot learn on the job to become a professional. Rather, they must pass written
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


examinations and graduate from an accredited dental hygiene program.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


school program. This answer is wrong because a dentist has a higher degree than a
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


necessary for a dental hygienist to receive an education from a dental school.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


assisting program. This answer is wrong because a person graduating from an accredited
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


dental assisting 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
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


except one. Which one is the exception?
rq rq rq rq rq rq


a. Perform periodontal maintenance care. rq rq rq


b. Implement interventions to direct a person back to oral wellness. rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


c. Provide fluoride varnish treatment. rq rq rq


d. Place and remove restorations. rq rq rq




ANS: r q D
Perform periodontal maintenance care. This is a service provided in the clinical setting.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


The clinical setting allows for application of preventive and therapeutic agents related to
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


periodontal disease. For example: subgingival sustained-release delivery systems containing
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


chlorhexidine.
rq


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


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


promote health. Therefore, if the state of an individual’s oral health changes, the dental
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


hygienist (within the scope of the clinical setting) can provide some degree of
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


intervention to direct the individual back to oral wellness.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Provide fluoride varnish treatment. This is a service provided in the clinical setting. The
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


clinical setting allows for application of preventive and therapeutic agents related to
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


dental caries. Fluoride varnish treatments prolong fluoride exposure on the tooth surface
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


for safe and effective caries control.
rq rq rq rq rq rq


Place and remove restorations. This service is not provided by the majority of dental
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


hygienists in the clinical setting. Only a few dental hygienists have the certification to
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


place restorations, while many others do not. Also, the removal of restorations is not a
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


given action of a dental hygienist in the clinical setting.

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


a. Observation
b. Diagnosis
c. Communication skills rq

, d. Client care rq




ANS: r q B
Observation. This answer is wrong because dental hygienists must go further than simply
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


observing the client. The hygienist must assess the client by thoroughly collecting data.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Diagnosis. This answer is correct because identifying the diagnosis is the focal point for
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


establishing goals in the dental hygiene care plan. The client’s dental hygiene needs are
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


determined so that specific interventions can be implemented.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


behavior and are not necessary to complete the dental hygiene process.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


hygiene care. However, proper client care is the goal being achieved through the key
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


behaviors.

5. Which of the following is not an environmental factor that the dental hygienist takes
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


into account in the Human Needs Model?
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


a. Age
b. Attitudes
c. Lifestyles
d. Weight
ANS: r q D
Age. This answer is an environmental factor that must be taken into account because age
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


plays a large role in the development of an individual’s oral health.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Attitudes. This answer is an environmental factor that must be taken into account because
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


it can have an effect on the dental hygiene process.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


individual’s oral health can be affected by lifestyle choices.
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


Weight. This answer is not an environmental factor that must be taken into account because
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


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


with a person’s particular weight may affect oral health, but the overall weight of an
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


individual does not.
