Armed conflict, disaster relief, missionary work, backcountry travel, humanitarian aid—these all are situations where you may come into contact with someone experiencing dental pain under adverse conditions. Emergency Dentistry Handbook is a field guide to providing dental care in such challenging environments, where resources and trained personnel are scarce and you need to save a tooth, manage pain, and prevent the spread of infection.

Paramedic Met Clark, who has devoted his professional career to the special challenges of providing medical care in remote and austere environments, shows you how to:

recognize and manage dental trauma, inflammation, and infection

perform simple procedures for examining and cleaning teeth, draining abscesses, splinting repaired teeth, extracting teeth, and more

administer essential medications, including painkillers, antibiotics, topical anesthetics, and various forms of anesthesia

identify dental emergencies that require evacuation to a higher level of care

stock three levels of field dental kits

The guidelines in this book are intended to provide emergency dental care in "forward" areas and help bridge the gap until definitive care can be given by a trained dental professional.

Great book

Well if we enter into a SHTF moment having a toothache and not having a dentist around to help is a recipe for disaster. The only thing worse is getting kicked in the sack with steel toe boots. I like the ability to have a book to reference as if in the same SHTF moment happens the net might not be around. This book will stay on the shelf for when it is needed.
It reads well, and is clearly detailed. Seems like a real Dentist wrote it, and most of it is common sense, and if you have ever had a toothache, common sense goes away fast.

Not much info for the price

This "book" was more like an extended pamphlet with little valuable content. Grossly overpriced.

Not exactly what I was looking for.

I was expecting a bit more instruction on emergency dentistry and less "the dentist will know what to do". Might come in handy.

I am one of those people who grind, break, chip, crack, there teeth ALL THE TIME and at odd hours. I have been looking for a book like this for EVER, gives you info on drugs to handle pain, numbing and etc. It also tells you what to do in case of fractures and cracks, its the next best thing then going to the dentist.

An excellent introduction to field emergency dentistry. More diagrams explaining procedures would have been helpful though. A must have for every austere environments practitioner.

A good basic overview.

This is a really concise little book that covers the basics. I wonder if some of the materials and drugs are available to the general public though.
