Assist with Oral Hygiene

Questions and Answers

1.

Smoking causes bad breath, yellow and discoloured teeth and gum disease.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Smoking causes bad breath, yellow and discoloured teeth, and gum disease. This is because the chemicals in tobacco smoke can irritate the gums, causing inflammation and infection. Additionally, smoking reduces saliva production, which can lead to dry mouth and an increase in bacteria that cause bad breath. The nicotine and tar in cigarettes can also stain teeth, giving them a yellow or brown appearance. Overall, smoking has detrimental effects on oral health, leading to bad breath, discoloured teeth, and gum disease.

This includes activities such as brushing and flossing teeth, using mouthwash, and visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Maintaining good oral hygiene is important for preventing dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, as well as for promoting a healthy smile and confident self-image. Therefore, it is accurate to say that oral or dental hygiene is a type of ADL.
