Well, I heard about someone who used a very hard toothbrush and brushed way too vigorously. They ended up wearing down their enamel, which made their teeth extremely sensitive. Hot or cold foods became a nightmare for them, and they had to go through a lot of treatments to try and repair the damage.
There is a story of a girl, Lily. Her mom always told her to brush her teeth. One night, she didn't and the next morning she found that her teeth were all yellowish. She was so embarrassed at school that day. After that, she always listened to her mom about dental hygiene. She not only brushed regularly but also flossed.
At my dental hygiene school, there was a competition among the students to design the best oral health brochure. One student's brochure was not only visually appealing but also had very accurate and detailed information. They won the competition and their brochure was actually used by the school for educational purposes. This story shows how students can bring their creativity and knowledge together in dental hygiene school.
One common one is not changing the toothbrush often enough. Bacteria build up on an old toothbrush and can re - infect your mouth. Another is using teeth - whitening products too much and getting chemical burns on the gums.
A great story is about a group of animal friends. The rabbit had very clean teeth because it always ate carrots and brushed. The bear, on the other hand, ate too much honey and never brushed. Soon, the bear had a toothache. The rabbit taught the bear how to brush and the importance of a balanced diet. This simple story can teach children about both diet and brushing for good dental health.
There is a story of a girl, Lily. She learned about dental hygiene in school. Her teacher told a story about how the germs in our mouth are like little monsters that try to eat our teeth. So, Lily started using floss every day as well as brushing her teeth twice. This made her teeth shiny and healthy. And she was proud to show her bright smile to everyone.
One story could be about a student who was really nervous during their first patient treatment in dental hygiene school. They were shaking so much that they almost dropped the dental tools. But with the encouragement of their instructor, they managed to calm down and complete the procedure successfully.
One of my dental horror stories was when I went to get a wisdom tooth pulled. The dentist didn't numb me properly. I could feel every tug and pull as he tried to yank that tooth out. It was excruciating pain that I will never forget.
Well, I heard about a patient who went to a Western dental clinic. The dentist there used old and unsterilized equipment. This led to a serious infection in the patient's mouth. The patient had to go through a long course of antibiotics and a lot of pain before the infection was finally under control. Another horror story is that a person got veneers, but the dentist used the wrong adhesive. The veneers started to come off within a few days, and the underlying tooth was damaged in the process.
A local in Mexico went to a dental office that promised quick braces treatment. However, the dentist put on the braces too tightly. This not only caused extreme discomfort but also damaged the teeth roots over time. The patient ended up with loose and weakened teeth, and had to spend a fortune to correct the damage done by the improper braces treatment.
Sure. There was a client who had really bad body odor. It was so strong that it made the massage therapist feel nauseous. Despite the therapist trying to be professional, it was really hard to focus on the massage. Another case was a client with dirty feet who came for a foot massage. The feet were caked with dirt and it was quite off - putting.
