Apply a small amount of | Frequency: Brush after each meal | | toothpaste to the toothbrush | or at least twice daily | +===================================+===================================+ | 1. Use gentle scrubbing motions | Duration: at least 2 minutes, | | at a 45-degree angle against | cleaning all tooth surfaces | | the gum line | systematically | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 2. Gently brush the upper | **AVOID**: excessive force | | surface of the tongue to | results in bristle damage, | | remove debris, plaque, and | cervical abrasion, irritation of | | bacteria | gingival tissue, or gingival | | | recession with associated | | | hypersensitivity | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 3.

Pull out 18 in of floss and | 7. Hold the floss tightly | | wrap most of it around the | against the tooth to gently | | middle finger | scrabe the side of the tooth | | | with an up and down motion | +===================================+===================================+ | 1. Wrap the remaining floss | 5. Curve the floss around the | | around the same finger of the | adjoining tooth and repeat | | opposite hand so about an in | | | of floss is held between the | | | thumbs and forefingers | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 2. Use a gentle, sawing motion | 6. Advance the length of the | | to guide the floss up and | loss to use a new segment for | | down the gum line | each tooth surface | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 3. Curve the floss into a C | | | shape against one tooth once | | | the gum line is reached and | | | gently slide the floss into | | | the space between the gum and | | | tooth until there is | | | resistance | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ [Guidelines for Toothpaste Use] +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | [Adults] | [Children] | +===================================+===================================+ | - *Amount*: size of a pea of a | - Amount: | | fluoride-containing | | | toothpaste | - \< 3: size of a rice | | | grain | | - *Frequency*: BID | | | | - \> 3: size of a pea | | - *Location*: inner, outer, and | | | chewing surfaces | - Start brushing when their | | | teeth first erupt | | - Floss at least daily | | | | - Spit but no rinse | | - Use a soft toothbrush and | | | change every 3-4 mo | - Fluoride-containing | | | toothpaste | | - Hold at 45-degree angle | | | | - Supervision! parental | | | education (too much fluoride | | | causes brown spots/pits) | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ ![](media/image2.jpeg) ![](media/image4.png) [Tooth Hypersensitivity vs. Toothache (Table 32-1)] +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | **Characteristic** | **Teeth | **Toothache** | | | Hypersensitivity** | | +=======================+=======================+=======================+ | Etiologic Mechanism | Exposed and open | Bacterial invasion | | | dentin tubules | extending to the pulp | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Pathophysiology | Stimuli causes fluid | Inflammatory response | | | in the dentinal | to invading bacteria | | | tubules to expand and | stimulates free nerve | | | shrink, stimulating | endings in the pulp | | | pulp nerve fibers and | | | | resulting in pain | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Causes | - Attrition | - Cavitation/decay | | | | under existing | | | - Abrasion | restoration | | | | | | | - Erosion | - Tooth/restoration | | | | fracture | | | - Tooth/restoration | | | | fracture | - Trauma to the | | | | dentition | | | - Faulty | | | | restoration | | | | | | | | - Gingival | | | | recession | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Symptoms | Quick, fleeting, | Pain that remains in | | | sharp, or stabbing | the absence of | | | pain on exposure to | stimulus that may | | | stimuli which stops | cause: | | | after stimuli are no | | | | longer present | - [Reversible | | | | damage]{.underlin | | | | e}: | | | | intermittent, | | | | short, sharp pain | | | | on stimulation OR | | | | | | | | - [Irreversible | | | | damage]{.underlin | | | | e}: | | | | continuous, dull, | | | | and throbbing | | | | pain without | | | | stimulation | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Assessment | Due to attrition, | Referral!

**(Article) Importance**: pharmacists should remain aware of potential physical, behavioral, and psychological signs of drug abuse (physical appearance, impaired coordination, large or small pupils, irritability or anger, and anxiousness), purchasing large amounts of OTC at once or over period of time - Store browsing & purchasing vigilance - **OFFER CONSULTATIONS:** - Advice about possible abuse/addiction - Refer to medical provider - Refer to drug/alcohol abuse team - Raise awareness of online abuse support groups - Innovations for the future - Log book - Keeping implicated products out of sight/behind counter - Consult policy & pharmacist may refuse to sell - Get involved in harm reduction programs through clinics/health systems or communities -
