Today in clinic we learned how to properly give OHI and demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques. We learned how to explain periodontitis and dental caries and used flip charts to help get our point across. After we put the disclosing agent in our patients mouth we counted the areas that had pink and purple. Pink means that it is new biofilm and purple means it has been there for awhile. You count how many areas and then depending on how many teeth they have, you find out their Biofilm Free Index. The disclosing agent wasn't that bad, but it didn't taste that good either! I passed off my Anterior Sickle Scaler PE wahoo! :) Good day in clinic! We were paired up with random people and that was way fun because we have been so used to working on the people in our pod, it was fun to have a switch up!
