vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

b. she will say that john is the exception to the rule.

Explanation:

Stereotypes are generalizations that people make about behaviors or characteristics of others. Stereotypes are assumptions about certain people, often they happen without knowing about social groups or characteristics of individuals such as appearance, financial condition, behavior, sexuality etc.

As we can see from the question above, Sally established a stereotype on all psychology students. However, Sally met John, who although graduating in psychology, does not fit the stereotype created by Sally for these students. In that case, Sally will believe that John is an exception to the rule.

How to care for the teeth​
CaHeK987 [17]

1. Floss at least once per day. It is best to floss after brushing. Flossing removes plaque that is left behind after brushing from between the teeth and on the gums.

2. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush for at least two minutes each time.

3. Use fluoride toothpaste. The fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay.

4. Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months or sooner if needed. A worn-out toothbrush will not clean your teeth as well. If you use an electric toothbrush, change heads every 3 to 4 months as well.

5. Eat a healthy diet. You are less likely to get gum disease if you eat healthy foods.Avoid sweets and sweetened drinks. Eating and drinking a lot of sweets increases your risk of cavities. If you do eat or drink sweets, brush your teeth soon after.

6. Do not smoke. Smokers have more teeth and gum problems than non-smokers.Keep dentures, retainers, and other appliances clean. This includes brushing them regularly. You may also need to soak them in a cleansing solution.

7. Schedule regular checkups with your dentist. Many dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months for optimal oral health. Seeing the dentist every 3 to 4 months may be needed if your gums become unhealthy.
