REVIEW OF CURRENT EDITION:

"The author's stated goal for this book was to provide to general pracitioners all the information required to be able to practice good dentistry. She has accomplished her goal exceptionally well. The book covers many topics of great value to a general practic veterinarian without any attempt to teach advanced procedures that could quickly get a non-specialist into trouble...It is a relatively easy read. The layout is logical, the illustrations are of very good quality, and the text is enhanced by over 100 excellent quality color phots and radiographs...Overall, the information presented is very accurate and current...This book is highly recommended (and at US $67.95), is a good value) for general practitioners seeking to improve their knowledge of veterinary dentistry and it has several topics of interest even for some readers that are more advanced in their training."

This review is from: Veterinary Dentistry for the General Practitioner, 1e (Paperback)

There are a number of dentistry books on the market, but most are geared toward the dental specialist, or to those thinking about going that route. But this book covers most of the basics for the average practitioner and dental technician who are not about to begin root canals and major reconstructions. It's well organized and has excellent descriptions on how to radiograph teeth, remove them and do basic surgery on soft tissues. There is even a brief section on fracture repair that probably should have been left out... but still well presented. The author also makes some excellent instrument recommendations.
