She runs a home day care and has three children of her own at home: a 4 year-old boy, 12 year-old girl and 15 year-old boy. She missed her last 6-month recall appointment due to health problems: she had been diagnosed 11 months ago with thyroid cancer and has had surgery and radiation therapy. She is troubled by seasonal allergies. She is taking supplemental thyroid hormone daily and OTC antihistamines as needed to manage allergy symptoms. VS are BP 124/82, P 78, R 16. Assessment reveals no palpable thyroid gland, visual inspection shows oral tissues with very poor tissue moisture, decreased salivary flow rate, generalized demineralization and several yellowish-brown lesions on the roots at the cervical margins of the teeth, probe readings range from 1-3 mm, generalized recession of 1-2 mm, several occlusal amalgam restorations and four anterior composite restorations. There is very little biofilm present on the occlusal and incisal 2/3 but slight biofilm is visible in the cervical third.

Calculus classification is I (very minimal) with no stain present.QUESTION: What risk factor for oral diseases applies to this patient?
