C. "l will perform oral hygiene using a firm-bristle toothbrush."

D. "I will rinse my mouth with saline every 2 hours while awake

Correct Answer:

"l will avoid consuming alcoholic beverages:

Rationale:

🚫Alcohol irritates gingival tissues and can worsen inflammation, undermining healing in gingivitis.

🍽️Choosing non-irritating options supports tissue recovery alongside gentle oral hygiene and professional care.

💁‍♂️A firm-bristle toothbrush increases trauma, so soft-bristle tools are preferred for inflamed gums.

🧪Frequent saline rinses can be helpful, but emphasizing avoidance of irritants like alcohol is consistently beneficial.

📌Core Message

Avoiding alcohol reduces gingival irritation, promotes healing, and complements gentle oral hygiene strategies.
