I personally would only prophy her, she cannot get the homecare she needs now and SRP could upset her/ set her off or at least make it difficult to eat for a few days.. look at eh long term..what benefit is there in doing SRP if homecare is not followed through by her caretakers.

Universal precautions… don’t assume they are healthy , assume they are NOT cavitron is fine check the CDC!!!

I just attended a CE …on this…some of the charting can be tricky one of the risk assessments is eating habits, what when how often duration..it’s a lot. A fellow RDH’s office does it and she said its a time suck, and simple dialog is more effective.

I am not worried at all, eventually patients will find out. I do what I can to educate people all the time. Whether its in a Walmart tooth brush aisle, or my daily Facebook post about oral care..that I share compliments of KARA RDH ..Keep teaching!

I had a DDS tell me he was going in the waiting room, and my interview started when I opened the door to greet my patient ( the DDS), so basically my interview was an actual prophy on the DDS from start to finish…he evaluated everything right down to “documentation” of his appt.
