Q
  1. Read the following scenario and identify the Problem (P):

Mrs. Sanchez is a 58-year-old women who is concerned about getting root surface cavities due to her receding gums. Her children receive fluoride treatments to prevent caries on their teeth and asks you if she should be getting professionally applied fluoride treatments. Having recently read an article on chlorhexidine varnish (CHx-V) for the prevention of root caries you want to reread it to see if a CHx-V or Fluoride Varnish, which you normally provide, will be more effective.

A. Fluoride varnish

B. Receding gums

C. Chlorhexidine varnish

D. Root caries
