Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Community health workers, educators and individuals from around the world use Where There Is No Dentist to help people care for their teeth and gums. This book's broad focus makes it an invaluable resource. The author uses straightforward language and careful instructions to explain how to: examine patients; diagnose common dental problems; make and use dental equipment; use local anesthetics; place fillings; and remove teeth. There is also a special chapter on oral health and HIV/AIDS, which provides the dental worker with a detailed, well-illustrated discussion of the special problems faced by people living with HIV/AIDS, and appropriate treatment. This 2010 printing features information on Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART), a way to fill cavities without drilling, as well as an updated resources section. This book is an important companion to the 2010 version of Where There Is No Doctor.
