1-14. SPECIAL MOUTH CARE
Special mouth care is required for oral hygiene that cannot be accomplished by routine tooth brushing and mouth rinsing measures. Patients with mouth injuries, oral surgery, or inflamed mouth tissue are given mouth care in consonance with special instructions by the medical or dental officer. In addition, standing operating procedures are often available locally to provide guidance in these situations.
