Debbie is a 40-year-old Hispanic woman
who comes to you to replace a crown. She
has never been to your office before,
and during oral examination, you find
periodontal disease, several canker sores,
and a carious lesion, even though she
claims to have excellent home care. She
makes an appointment for a restoration
the following week. At her next appointment,
she also complains of xerostomia, but
attributes it to allergies.
