Since the amount of decay is too much, the dental assistant should respond by advising the mother of the patient to reduce the quantity of sugary food intake and to enhance oral hygiene.

A dental assistant is an individual that are usually certified to assist dentists during dental treatment procedures.

During a dental procedure, they help to perform the following tasks:

  • preparing patients for the treatment,
  • passing dentists instruments and other materials, and
  • keeping patients' mouths dry and clear using suction and other devices.

Tooth decay is the formation of a hole through the tooth cavity.

Tooth decay can occur in several areas when there is poor oral hygiene and excess intake of sugary foods.

When sugary food is taken in excess without proper oral hygiene, it reacts with plaque bacteria in the mouth producing acids.

The acid then dissolves your enamel slowly, creating the cavities in your teeth.

Therefore, the dental assistant should respond by advising the mother of the patient to reduce the quantity of sugary food intake and to enhance oral hygiene.
