sources of sweets
oral rehabilitative efforts. Specifically, sweet intake.
Our patients need to be educated on the relationship
between sweets and caries and the significance of the
frequency versus the amount of consumption. Our
patient also needs to appreciate that sweets are more
than just chocolate and candies. There are many **
sources of sweets ** that the patient might not realize
that are damaging such as fruits or sports beverages
(sweet/ food breakdown product “acid” attacks or
acidic substances).3,4 Age and the associated decline
in salivary flow also require explanation. Strategies to
offset lifestyle decisions can then be formulated.
Protection with daily fluoride rinses or stimulation of
salivary flow with sugarless gum or lozenges could be
introduced. Once again, documentation in our
patients’ files is requisite and our patients are to be
reminded of the perils of excessive sweet/ acid intake
if they are found to be waning.
Non-PRO (2): texjax DDS PhD, Elena Zanetti
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Anche io la penso così, più che altro per la distinzione in semplici, etc.., però ho concordato già col singolare ed ho pure tolto il suggerimento "zuccheri" che inizialmente avevo scritto, per semplicità
