Good morning Dr GriefIm am doing my assignment in Oral Health. Q1 Can you please give me some examples of medications that will affect oral health/expalin? Q2. Give me an examples of all the oral hygiene to use if they have the full dentures. Q3 Steps that they should be doing to maintain a good oral hygiene.?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The medicines which affect the oral health includes calcium channel blockers and barbiturates may cause gingival enlargement. Atropine and antihistamines causes reduced salivary secretion and which increases the incidence of gingivitis and periodontitis, increased incidence of caries. For full denture wearers patient has to remove the denture and keep it in a bowl with normal water during nighttime. Patient has to clean the alveolar ridges with finger or gaze. Steps to maintain oral hygiene includes rinsing the mouth soon after eating anything, cleaning the denture with denture cleansers.I hope my answer will help you take care.
