Add this to your shelf

You are looking at this book because several different authors told you to. Good now get it. Most people have a knack for putting slings on people or even a needle and thread on a wound. But you can't put a hello kitty band aid on a tooth that just went septic and is poisoning your blood. After looking at these pictures you'll want to buy floss. Good, now get that too.

Where there is No Dentist

This self-help book is well written and should prove to be a wonderful resource in case we cannot get to our dentist. It came well packaged and quickly sent.

When TSHTF, you'll be glad you bought this!

This is a very good book to have on hand if the economy collapses and things go south here in the U.S. We also own the companion book, "Where There Is No Doctor", and it's an excellent resource as well.

Great

This books breaks dentistry for WTSHTF times possible. We all do not want to be like Tom Hanks with a rock and an ice skate. This book will come in handy when and if the need ever arises. Lets pray that it does not.

A great book

Too bad there are'nt more writer's of the same mind, filling in the gap between costly expertise andlayman srticture. The book is a well-balanced workbetween hand drawn illustrationsand simple, succinct text, explaining procedures for teeth cleaning,pulling, simple filling, brokenteeth, etc., to the uneducated, 3rd -worldvillage healthcare worker, anddescribes how to construct the necessary instruments and materialsout of what bits can be found at hand, for all the procedures. At one end, we pay for the dentist's scent & muzak, at the other, with this book, they discardthe intervening fluff and tripeand get something done themslves. Actually, the book deals with poorer standards than readersanywhere else would like to seeaddressed.
