The Good:

It's cheap.

You basically learn how to pull out all the stops, if you are desperate to save your teeth (as I am). There is definitely some good advice for some things to do and I learned some things. I give him credit for that. This is by far the best part of the book.

It's a fairly quick read.

The Bad:

The author is most likely being compensated in some way by Hydro Floss and the manufacturers of some of the chemicals he is plugging in this book, in my opinion. Or, he is selling Some of the products direct from his website to make a profit, I can't tell which, frankly. This set off my "conflict of interest detector" constantly, so I felt I had to filter out what is good advice and what was sales pitch. This feeling was bolstered by my going to the websites he promotes as being information sources, finding them to be retailers, and seeing the author's face plastered all over them.

The advice in the book could have been given in literally 20% of the space used. The other 80% is filler used to get the thing to a word count high enough to be able to call it a book, I guess? As others have said, way way WAY too repetitive. You have to skip over huge portions of the book to get to the meat.

Overall: it's worth a read, but be prepared to do a lot of filtering, and don't believe everything you read. You are paying for a book that is in part an advertisement, or it sure seems like it is anyway.

Updated review February 6, 2014: So I am continuing to follow this book as I found very helpful to me personally as I am on a dental health journey to improve the health of my gums. (I have Gingivitis. And I wanted to find a book that would guide me in home care and overall suggestions for dental care for my gums and teeth.

For me, I found this book informative, helpful and insightful and I recommend it to you.

Why should you consider this book over the other ones? Well, personally, for me, I have used the tips in this book and my gums are improving each day as I follow this book and it works for me very well. Results after two months of following this book: My gums no longer bleed when I brush (see why below), and they have changed in color from a deep red to a healthy looking pink).

The best parts of this book I found is:

****Chapter 3 is the best chapter called Home Care. This chapter lists the things needed for helping the gums improve AT HOME! This chapter gives info on brushing/flossing and sanitizing the toothbrush! And he lists HOW to BRUSH PROPERLY (this really helped me with my gums and teeth as I had been brushing too firmly and with a medium toothbrush, now I use a very soft toothbrush), and the section on Hydro Floss (but I use a Water Pik with wonderful results and my gums are improving each day) and there are other great tips here I found.

Overall I am very happy that I purchased this book. For the low cost of 99 cents, it has been worth every penny that I spent!

Highly recommend this book!

Format: Paperback
It's amazing how much people tend to neglect their teeth. Oh, plenty of people brush and floss, and visit their dentist. However, many people, even in this rather health-conscious society of ours, don't realize how much more there is to taking care of their mouths. Gum disease is incredibly prevalent and surprisingly detrimental to human health. Its effects on the human body can be more widespread than many people realize. In general, many dentists simply aren't interested in keeping people informed about what is needed to maintain their teeth and gums. Mr. Snape explores in depth what is necessary to keep one's gums and teeth healthy. He explains various diseases of the mouth, methods of treatment and prevention, and even provides excellent information on choosing medical care. A great deal of thought and research went into this book, and it is put together in clear and concise language. Gum disease isn't a particularly fun topic to read about. However, it is an important one, and David Snape provides an excellent guide to learning more about taking care of one's oral health.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful By Ken McDaniel on February 15, 2009
Format: Paperback
A activist layman's book of his experiences with gum disease/disorders. Well-intentioned explanations of his experieces with dentists and his trials at finding products to help. Although the book is 244pp long it should be about half as long as it is extremely repetitive and extremely self-protective about adding disclaimers continually along the lines of "don't do anything without consulting your dentist", "there are no scientific studies to back this up", etc. I guess this is what one might expect in our combative legalistic systems with a tremendous overage of lawyers and a mis-designed legal system. Pretty much a one-of-a-kind book as I can determine(no others of that type out here--and current, only a few months old). I highly recommend the book for the information that can be gleaned by skimming over(ignoring repetition) most of the book, but paying close attention to recommendations in chapter 3(home care).
