Q: Case Study1
William, a 13-year-old male, presented to the dental office for routine dental hygiene therapy. In the dental hygienist's initial clinical exam, he noticed a moderate amount of dental biofilm along the cervical areas of a majority of the patient's teeth. He also noted that the patient's gingival margin was red and bulbous in the anterior facial region. It is also indicated that a sealant is needed on #31. When questioned about his oral hygiene routine, William admitted that he does not follow the recommended routine at home. When the dental hygienist began to talk to him about gingivitis, he interrupted and described what gingivitis is very accurately. When asked to perform his oral hygiene routine, the patient did so in an acceptable manner.

Reference: Ref 25-1

Open and read the attached case to answer the following question. William appears to be at what level of the learning ladder?
- Unawareness
- Involvement
- Awareness
- Action
A: Awareness
