I hope to read this book soon!

I have not yet read this book, but I hear it is worth reading. Everyone I know can't stop talking about how they could not put it down once they started reading it. if you like reading books on dental hygene, this is the one for you. I will write another review as soon as I have read the book. From what I haaave heard, this book has touched the lives of so many in the dental hygene profession. The author should be recognized throughout the world for her book. I hope that you all will read this book and write a review.

First modern educational tool in dental health for children.

This is the first book of its kind. It focuses on the dental education of children. It is a complete lesson planner that can be fully integrated in the classroom along with school's other subjects. If children can learn to take care of their teeth the proper way, they can save themselves and their parents a lot of trouble down the line. What impressed me most about the book was how much information was in it. People usually go to the dentist twice a year and they think they are fine. After reading this book, one can see that people are really not educated at all about proper dental health. This book teaches in terms that everyday people can understand that there is a proper and simple way to excellent dental health besides going to the dentist. It also gives good background to why the techniques we use today are so helpful. Even a good dentist does not go into the background or go into what needs to be done for proper dental health because that is not their job. I would not be surprised if many dentists and their assistants all over the proffession would endorse this piece of educational material. This book should be a common reference material at every dentist office, school, and home.
