ANS: B
Dental flossing removes plaque and tartar between teeth. To prevent bleeding, the
patient should use unwaxed floss. Flossing once a day is sufficient. If toothpaste is
applied to the teeth before flossing, fluoride will come in direct contact with tooth
surfaces, aiding in cavity prevention.

Head lice are difficult to remove and spread to furniture and other people if not
treated. Caution against use of products containing lindane because the ingredient is
