INTERVENTION NO. 7:

Oral Hygiene Education - 1A

Dental hygienists working closely with clients can personalize daily oral hygiene regimens that are comprehensive, effective and realistic. Because xerostomic clients have many oral care needs, it is important to devise a care plan that will produce clinical results, which in turn, will promote continued compliance. Client motivation is an essential component of any oral hygiene self-care program, and the dental hygienist must continually monitor client participation in and effectiveness of the interventions prescribed.
