Book Reviews of Where There Is No Dentist

Book Review: New version. Free download
Summary: 1 Stars

The series of books that started with "Where there is no doctor" is wonderful and useful.

I imagine the where there is no dentist is no exception. BUT there is a 2009 edition that is much more up to date and has greatly expanded, AND the entire book is available for download FREE on the Hesperian Foundation website (slong with FREE downloads of all there other excellent series including Where there is no doctor. Many translations into obscure languages are also available) At least go to the Hesperian website before buying this older version. AMAZON you need to update your list to reflect this latest update.

Summary of Where There Is No Dentist

Community health workers, educators and individuals from around the world use Where There Is No Dentist to help people care for their teeth and gums. This book's broad focus makes it an invaluable resource.

The author uses straightforward language and careful instructions to explain how to: examine patients; diagnose common dental problems; make and use dental equipment; use local anesthetics; place fillings; and remove teeth. There is also a special chapter on oral health and HIV/AIDS, which provides the dental worker with a detailed, well-illustrated discussion of the special problems faced by people living with HIV/AIDS, and appropriate treatment.

This 2009 printing features an updated presentation of issues related to HIV and oral health, as well as an updated resources section. This book is an important companion to the 2009 version of Where There Is No Doctor.
