    How often should you replace your toothbrush?

    • Monthly

    • Every-other month

    • Every 6 months

    • Once per year

    Correct Answer
    A. Every 6 months
    Explanation
    To maintain good oral hygiene and prevent the buildup of bacteria, it is recommended to replace your toothbrush every 6 months. Over time, the bristles can become frayed and less effective in cleaning your teeth and gums. Regularly replacing your toothbrush ensures that you are using a clean and effective tool for oral care.

    • After every time you eat

    • Once per day

    • Twice per day

    • Once per week

    Correct Answer
    A. Once per day
    Explanation
    The American Dental Association recommends flossing your teeth once per day. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Flossing daily ensures that these areas are thoroughly cleaned and maintained, promoting good oral hygiene and overall dental health.

    Plaque is a sticky film of what that builds up on your teeth and gums?

    • Food particles

    • Saliva

    • Bacteria

    Correct Answer
    A. Bacteria
    Explanation
    Plaque is a sticky film that builds up on teeth and gums due to the accumulation of bacteria. Bacteria in the mouth feed on food particles and produce acids that can damage the teeth and gums. This plaque can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath if not properly removed through regular brushing and flossing.

    How often is a comprehensive eye exam recommended?

    • Once every 6 months

    • Once yearly

    • Every-other year

    • Once every 5 years

    Correct Answer
    A. Once yearly
    Explanation
    A comprehensive eye exam is recommended once yearly. This is because regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining good eye health and detecting any potential problems early on. Yearly exams allow for early detection and treatment of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Additionally, yearly exams can help monitor any changes in vision and update prescriptions if necessary. Therefore, it is important to schedule a comprehensive eye exam once a year to ensure optimal eye health.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Vision problems and many common eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration, often have no warning signs.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Many common eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration, often do not have any warning signs. This means that individuals may not experience any symptoms until the disease has progressed to a more advanced stage. Regular eye exams are important to detect these conditions early on and prevent further vision loss or complications. Therefore, the statement "Vision problems and many common eye diseases often have no warning signs" is true.
