Nothing But the Tooth: A Dental Odyssey (Elsevier Insights)

Product Information

Once their permanent veneers were fitted things didn’t improve and both women have been left in constant pain. After meeting Celia and her team and sheepishly asking if anything could be done to my front teeth, she has actually made my year. The author, a retired dentist (and full disclosure, my dentist until her retirement) has penned an easy to understand guide for anyone with questions about their teeth, or dental health in general. The book is an act of public service, while simultaneously being an interesting dissection of the dental health profession at large. All of this means that the teeth remain stronger as less is removed and also there is less chance of damage to the pulp (nerve of the tooth) that can lead to an abscess and problems from this.

Whilst there is a risk involved with any medical or dental procedure, you should not end up worse off than where you started. Topics such as the cost of dental treatment, pediatric and geriatric dental needs, and the link between sleep apnea and your mouth are covered. I have a passion for skiing, sailing and any other water sports but it is my twin girls who generally keep me rather fit! For anyone who isn't sure that it's worth it, I don't think you even need to read it cover to cover. We’re talking names, 📞 phone numbers, 📍 addresses, 📧 e-mail addresses, religious beliefs, and anything else that could be used to track, identify, contact, or impersonate someone.

Understanding the narrative, or `life story`, of a patient is way more important than we tend to credit to. Or maybe you’ve never had a cavity – and now, suddenly, you have a half dozen that require immediate attention.

Building on the practice’s long established reputation for ethical dentistry, we have begun an extensive refurbishment enabling us to increase the number of facilities and services we offer, whilst providing patients with a comfortable and welcoming environment. However, the core reasons will be based on what people understand about oral disease, what they have been brought up to do about care (habits passed on) and expectations about health generally. Every dentist should have this book available for their clients to read and I would I argue that most people could really do with a copy of this book in their house. Our "no pain guarantee" means we have many very happy patients who used to be nervous of dental treatment but who now look forward to their visits.I think Nothing But The Tooth should be required reading for anyone who has teeth and who have had a lifetime of trouble maintaining them. So, composite resin bonding is perfect because we can just add to without further damage and if the gum moves, we can add to again without having to drill off a crown or ceramic veneer. As a Dental Therapist I can provide a huge range of treatments, including hygiene therapy for gum disease, fillings, local anaesthetics, tooth whitening, as well as helping children by placing sealants and fluoride treatments to help prevent decay, and if necessary extracting or root filling baby teeth . From our data, it is hard to say which specific factors are driving each of the differences we are seeing here, but there is probably a real mix of reasons and it is not just about, for example, the availability of treatment. I won't say that this makes me a pro, but I know that I will feel more comfortable making the right decision about almost everything that I'll need as a "dental consumer".
