She is taking Zyrtec (antihistamine) daily and uses her inhaler only before strenuous physical activity. VS are BP 112/76, P 78, R 16. EIE reveals mild enamel hypoplasia of the permanent first molars and a composite restoration in the mesial pit of the occlusal of #14. She has orthodontic brackets on #4 - #13, orthodontic bands on #3 and #14 with an arch wire on the facials. There is generalized erythema and edema of the free gingival margin and heavy plaque on the cervical thirds of all teeth and surrounding the bands and brackets. Probe readings on permanent first molars and permanent incisors range from 1-3 mm with generalized bleeding and localized hemorrhaging. Moderate supragingival calculus is present on the lower anterior lingual surfaces. Permanent molars have deep fissures; #19 has a gray shadow underneath the enamel on the mesial aspect. Bitewing radiographs reveal decay on the mesial of #19. The dentist recommends dental sealants be done at this visit on all permanent molars except #19.QUESTION: What home care oral hygiene techniques and aids would be most appropriate for her for total plaque control and disease prevention?

Dental and radiographic exams indicate no previous restorations but carious lesions on three maxillary molars in the cervical 1/3, proximal decay on three posterior teeth, and decay on four occlusal surfaces. There is no bone loss evident. The patient admits she has not been to a dentist in several years and is embarrassed about that. She reports she brushes once daily with “whitening toothpaste”. Small subgingival spicules of calculus are scattered minimally throughout the lower arch with slight amounts of supragingival calculus present on the lower anterior lingual surfaces.
