Mouthguards are not required during sport training?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Mouthguards are required during sport training to protect the teeth and mouth from potential injuries caused by impacts or collisions. Wearing a mouthguard helps to absorb and distribute the force, reducing the risk of dental injuries such as broken teeth, lip lacerations, or jaw fractures. It is recommended by dental professionals and sports organizations to wear mouthguards during both practice sessions and actual games or matches to ensure the safety and well-being of athletes. Therefore, the statement "Mouthguards are not required during sport training" is false.Rate this question:

Tick all of the following damage that may occur without a mouthguard?
-
Cracked Tooth
-
Knocked-out Tooth
-
Cut Lips
-
Damage To The Tongue
-
A Broken Jaw
Correct Answer(s)
A. Cracked Tooth
A. Knocked-out Tooth
A. Cut Lips
A. Damage To The Tongue
A. A Broken JawExplanation
Without a mouthguard, the teeth are vulnerable to impact and pressure, which can result in a cracked tooth or a knocked-out tooth. Additionally, the lips can easily get cut due to accidental biting or impact during physical activities. The tongue is also at risk of getting injured without a mouthguard, as it may get caught between the teeth during impact. Furthermore, a broken jaw is another potential damage that can occur without the protection of a mouthguard, as it helps absorb and distribute the force of impact, reducing the risk of jaw fractures.Rate this question:

Custom-fitted mouthguards are recommended, and will never need to be replaced.
-
Both statements are true
-
Both statements are false
-
The first sentence is true, the second sentence is false
-
The first sentence is false, the second sentence is true
Correct Answer
A. The first sentence is true, the second sentence is falseExplanation
Custom-fitted mouthguards are recommended because they offer a better fit and protection compared to generic mouthguards. However, it is not true that custom-fitted mouthguards will never need to be replaced. Over time, mouthguards can wear out or become damaged, and it is important to replace them regularly to ensure proper protection. Therefore, the first sentence is true, but the second sentence is false.Rate this question:

It is recommended not to replace a primary tooth that has been knocked out.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
It is recommended not to replace a primary tooth that has been knocked out because primary teeth are eventually replaced by permanent teeth. Replacing a knocked-out primary tooth may cause damage to the underlying permanent tooth or interfere with its eruption. It is best to allow the natural process of tooth eruption to occur.Rate this question:

Tick the common oral health conditions of the ageing
-
Xerostomia
-
Recurrent decay
-
Dark and brittle teeth
-
Loss of the alveolar ridge
-
Mental Retardation
Correct Answer(s)
A. Xerostomia
A. Recurrent decay
A. Dark and brittle teeth
A. Loss of the alveolar ridgeExplanation
As people age, they may experience various oral health conditions. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a common condition among the elderly, which can lead to discomfort and difficulty in speaking and eating. Recurrent decay refers to the repeated occurrence of tooth decay, which can be more prevalent in older individuals due to factors such as medication use and decreased oral hygiene. Dark and brittle teeth can also be a result of aging, as tooth enamel naturally wears down over time. Loss of the alveolar ridge, the bone that supports the teeth, is another common oral health condition in the elderly, often resulting in loose or missing teeth. Mental retardation, however, is not related to the aging process and is not considered a common oral health condition.Rate this question:

Restroom facilities should be designed with accessibility in mind, including grab bars, raised toilet seats, and spacious layouts. The floor surface should be even, slip-resistant, and free from obstacles. Additionally, the office should allow for wheelchair transfer or in-wheelchair treatment, providing adequate space and equipment for individuals with mobility limitations.Rate this question:

Drinking lots of tap water helps in maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental issues. However, eating sweets and cakes is not recommended as they can contribute to tooth decay and other dental problems.Rate this question:

Breastfeeding is recommended for infants oral health?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Breastfeeding is recommended for infants' oral health because it provides numerous benefits. Breast milk contains antibodies that help protect the baby from infections and diseases, including those that can affect oral health. It also promotes proper jaw and tooth development, as the baby needs to use their tongue and facial muscles differently compared to bottle feeding. Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of baby bottle tooth decay, a condition that occurs when a baby's teeth are frequently exposed to sugary liquids. Additionally, breastfeeding helps establish a healthy oral microbiome, which can contribute to overall oral health.Rate this question:

It is recommended for young children to rinse out their mouths after brushing?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
It is not recommended for young children to rinse out their mouths after brushing. This is because rinsing with water immediately after brushing can wash away the fluoride from the toothpaste, which is important for protecting the teeth against cavities. It is better for children to spit out the excess toothpaste after brushing, but not rinse with water. This allows the fluoride to remain on the teeth and provide continued protection.Rate this question:

-
The first statement is false, the second statement is true
Correct Answer
A. Both statements are falseExplanation
Both statements are false because even if a patient has no teeth, they still need to brush their gums and tongue to maintain oral hygiene. Additionally, regular visits to the dentist are necessary for overall oral health, as dentists can identify and address any potential issues or provide guidance on denture care.Rate this question:
