  • Steps:
    • Gather all information (e.g., referral, previous treatment, patient perception, medical history, radiographic evidence)
    • Gather new information (e.g., identify presence/severity of disease, and risk factors, baseline charting: BPE, 6PPC, BS%)
    • Provide coaching for self-care (e.g., identify current routines, techniques, correct any issues, build motivation, assess readiness, select appropriate measures).
    • Evaluate changes in oral health (e.g., patient feedback, assessing condition improvement, setting new goals, review dates and discussing treatment progression).

Tooth Brushing
