Growing Older With YOur Teeth, Or Something Like them is a large-print, light-hearted look at the aging mouth and its importance to quality maturing. With a Forward by famous heart surgeon, Michael DeBakey, M.D., this book is intended for all who "are" old or "hope to be" someday. It is far more than a book about the mouth, it is a book about living. And, a healthy dose of humor makes this book refreshingly easy to read and very entertaining. The chapter on "Sensuality and Dentures" is a favorite example that attracts all readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars "VALUABLE INFORMATION", April 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Growing Older With Your Teeth Or Something Like Them (An Anthology on Aging, Bk. 1) (Paperback)

I would like to congratulate Dr. Keith Robinson for his first published book, for the valuable information, and for the great effort being done to correlate dentistry with psychology, sociology and people communication. I advise not only the lay reader to read this valuable book, but also the newly graduated dentist for the best approach to communicating with the patient.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Not Like Reading Most Health Information......IT'S FUN!, April 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Growing Older With Your Teeth Or Something Like Them (An Anthology on Aging, Bk. 1) (Paperback)

Growing Older With Your Teeth, Or Something Like Them! is the first book in a new series of books which will number fifteen when finished. The series is called An Anthology On Aging. In the first book, Dr. Keith Robinson uses a light-hearted and humorous writing style to deliver valuable health information about the mouth as it ages. However, the book is about far more than just your teeth, it's about the art of growing old as your body parts begin to show signs of wear. The book is filled with touching stories that give meaning to the concepts. Robinson uses humor and warmth to touch people on health. The book is an "easy read" with a big payload of information. It's not like reading most health information...it's fun. I'm looking forward to Dr. Robinson's next book called Growing Older With Your Brain, Batteries Not Included. All in all, Growing Older With Your Teeth Or Something Like Them! is a must for people who are old or hope to be some day. It is important because as we manage our dental health and its aging process, we keep our overall health in better condition. Robinson's book is an excellent source for this worthy pursuit.
