Maybe this book should have been entitled "Wisdom Tooth", because it relates the author's determination to learn and grow with his advocation as a dentist. The reader will learn what is involved in becoming a dentist. The author clearly explains (with over 380 color photographs) how dental procedures are performed, how people can maintain a healthy mouth (and save money in dental bills) and why disease and deterioration occur. You'll learn how to avoid root canal treatment, how to avoid wearing dentures and how to avoid gum surgery. Also, important information is presented regarding the care of children's teeth and the need for orthodontics. Controversies regarding mercury in "silver" fillings, vitamin and mineral supplements, HMO dentistry, and dental implants are explained. This is a great book for students and health professionals who are interested in science and its relationship to the human body. This book will help you understand First Class Dental Care.

Best Dental/medical book ever written,
By David Vine, D.D.S. (Miami Beach, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Understanding First Class Dental Care: A Human Interest Story (Paperback)
Since I am the author of this book there may be some bias. This book is like no other dental/medical book ever written. It starts off by introducing the author with a pictorial bio. This is important in that it shows the reader where the author is coming from. After a brief overview of what it takes to become a dentist, the author shows what most dental procedures look like. The heavy emphasis on biology in the dental education is explored and the relationship to medicine and aspects of physiology is explained. The author questions the way modern medicine deals with the aging process and he advocates that aging be considered a degenerative disease that ultimately demands a cure.
The future is analyzed and hopefully we will live to see a btter world.
