5.0 out of 5 stars Ignorance Is NOT Bliss!!, February 24, 1999

By A Customer

I thought I could ignore my teeth and the would NOT go away...I was wrong! After loosing two teeth, I went to my dentist and he said "you need a periodontist!". Fortunately, I read Dr. Sydney's book BEFORE I got there. What a relief to find out that even though I had lost two teeth there was still time and modern therapy to save the rest. My treatment is almost completed now and the guide and my periodontist showed me that while ignorance is not bliss there was still time to get my gums healthy when you have the true facts presented. I recommend this book to all the cowards among us. It's easy to read, comprehensive and according to my periodontist accurately represents today's state of the field. I have given the book to a number of my friends who told me their gums were bleeding but thought that was normal. This book is an eye-opener for those who have had their heads in the sand. Take it with you on your professional visits it really helped me to understand all the treatments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fear has always kept me away from the dentist, but no more!, December 18, 1998

By A Customer

When I was told that I had gum disease, I got really scared and of course wanted to ignore the advice of my dentist and the obvious signs in my mouth that something was wrong! Fortunately, I read Dr. Sydney's no-jargon guide and now I know that most of my fears were based on fiction and not fact. RECOMMENDED reading for cowards and the enlightened who want to save their teeth. The easiest visit to the dentist I ever had!!

4.0 out of 5 stars better late than never!!, November 4, 2002

By A Customer

All I can say is I wish I had seen this book a few teeth ago!
Fortunately there is still time to save the rest of my teeth with the clear advice of Dr Sydney. I take the book with me to my periodontist to make sure he is up to date!
