Which of the following is an example of an OPEN-ENDED question in dental history taking?

Open-ended questions cannot be answered with 'yes' or 'no' — they invite elaboration and allow the patient to describe their experience in their own words. 'Tell me more about the pain you've been experiencing' is open-ended. Closed-ended questions like 'Does it hurt when you bite?' or 'Is it constant?' direct the patient to a specific answer. Open-ended questions encourage richer history taking and patient-centered communication.
