Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: When you’re away at college, it’s a time for you to focus on studying, getting to know yourself, and having fun! We don’t expect you to remember to care for your oral health during this time, too.
- True or False: If you are going away to school, then you should find a new dentist.
- True or False: You should brush harder and more consistently when you’re away at school.
Quiz Answers
- False. Like any other time in your life, it is just as important to care for your oral health throughout these years. If you do, you are setting yourself up for many more years of comfort, healthy teeth and gums, and very little need for restorative care.
- False. Assuming you’re visiting your home for summers and holidays, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to come in for your visits with us. Simply schedule checkups, cleanings, and anything else you need ahead of time, so we may see you when you’re in town.
- False. The same rules apply. Brush gently, twice a day (two minutes each and every time) and floss every day. Very easy and very effective.
