All of the following is true about oral care except:

Brushing and flossing are important
Oral care helps prevent infections
Residents without teeth will not require any oral care
Oral care should be provided every day

The correct answer is: Residents without teeth will not require any oral care

The statement that residents without teeth will not require any oral care is not accurate. Even individuals who do not have teeth still need oral care to maintain good oral hygiene. Gums can still collect bacteria and plaque, leading to infections or other oral health issues if not properly cared for. Therefore, it is essential to clean the gums and oral cavity regularly, even for those who are edentulous (without teeth). The other statements emphasize the importance of maintaining oral hygiene through brushing and flossing, highlighting that oral care is crucial for preventing infections, and recommending daily oral care routines. These practices contribute significantly to overall health and well-being, making them integral parts of daily care for all residents, regardless of their dental status.
