Críticas

This informative and educational book was extremely enjoyable to read. With 132 pages and 30 chapters it is written in a relaxed, informal style for members of the general public. I feel it would also be suitable for students or recently qualified dental care professionals (DCPs) and could act as a refresher guide to improve their communication skills with patients. The book is easy to understand and would be a useful addition to the reading material in the dental waiting room. Even though we provide information, literature and demonstrations for our patients there is still a need to provide further reading material which provides a basic understanding of how they can look after their own mouth/teeth or the treatments readily available to them. The first chapters of the book focus on prevention and are the most detailed throughout the whole book; it cannot be emphasised enough that prevention is better than cure. The remaining chapters discuss the different dental treatments available, should a major or minor problem occur. The subjects the chapters covered include: structure of the teeth and prevention, anaesthetics and nervous patients, pain relief and antibiotics, implants, crowns and bridges, bleaching, cosmetic dentistry (botox, dermal fillers, tooth jewellery and oral piercing), TMJ/TMD problems, trauma/accidents, snoring, halitosis, pregnancy and new developments in dentistry........................................... Photographs of dental problems and solutions are clear and of high definition. We always think that changes in dentistry happen so fast, possibly on a par with computers, electronics etc but actually the basics of dentistry change very slowly due to important clinical trials which can take several years, so I think most of the information in this book will be relevant for some years to come. It will give your patients a broad spectrum of dental information for them to digest and also to take away to improve the health of their friends and family and an invaluable guide to avoid potential dental problems in the future with the help of their own dentist and hygienist. --Vital magazine (British Dental Association), Gil Bagnall, Winter 2010/2011

Dr Riddle and Dr Gill, dentists with a passion for patient communication and aesthetic dentistry, have created a very easy-to-read book aimed at educating patients about all major areas of dentistry and maintaining oral health. The book starts with information about tooth structure, advice on oral hygiene regimes and preventive care, then explores clinical aspects of dentistry as well as including sections on tooth whitening, the TMJ, wisdom teeth, common dental complaints and self help. Each section has clear, easy to understand diagrams and annotated photographs, including periodontal disease, which makes it easy for the reader to understand the subject. The authors discuss topics of importance to patients, such as tooth sensitivity, pregnancy in relation to dental care, longevity of restorative work and the use of mercury amalgam clearly and in an unbiased way. The book finishes with some useful website details. The book is easy to read and understand, clearly illustrated and, at £9.99 is exceptional value and, whilst aimed at patients and their families, is ideally suited for induction of new practice staff to all matters dental and, as such, I think it is a book that most practices should consider having a copy of for their library. --Alasdair G Miller, Dental Postgraduate Dean (South West of UK) and Dentist, Dental Update Journal, August 2010

Reseña del editor

This is an educational/reference book about teeth and is designed for Dental Nurses, Hygienists, Receptionists, Practice Managers and also the layperson. Half the book is on the prevention of dental problems and half is a what's what guide to dentistry. The book conforms to the guidelines given in the Evidenced-based toolkit for prevention, issued by the Department of Health, UK. The book has 144 full colour pages and contains 65 pictures and 29 diagrams. It is an invaluable introduction to dentistry for all dental practice staff. It is also an essential read for any parent and anyone that wants to enjoy the benefits of having healthy good-looking teeth.
