Basic Oral Hygiene For Patients is used to quickly teach patients about taking care of their mouths with and without braces. It can be used to teach only one section such as oral hygiene with braces (5 minutes) or to teach the adolescent about decalcification, gum disease, and brushing and flossing (14 minutes).

The patient can view the presentation alone or with the help of a staff member. Each section has interactive quizzes where the learner can check his or her understanding. At the end of the course there are post-tests, one for patients with braces, and one for patients without braces. The results of this test can be printed.

All staff members should be familiar with the concepts taught in this program so that the full team can give the same message to patients about oral hygiene methods.
