Active homecare is “hands-on” where the client is physically involved with removing plaque and maintaining oral hygiene. Tooth brushing and applying anti-plaque agents directly into the mouth fit into this category. Active homecare has been proven to give the best results when performed correctly. <br><br>

Passive homecare refers to all the other parts of an oral hygiene program that may help reduce plaque in the mouth that does not need a direct interaction/involvement of the client. Examples of passive home care would include giving a diet that has a dental benefit or a chew to help reduce plaque accumulation.
