  Reviewer: Christine A Brady from Hilton, New York USA

I find this book excellent for anyone starting in the field of dental assistant or as a review book for someone who is already an assistant. I am just learning and borrowed the book and had to buy it. It covers everything in detail from anatomy,infection control,patient care, radiography, all forms of denistry procedures needed and much more. There are exercises and flash cards and 623 pages full of information. A GREAT BOOK. Its a must for any dental assistant. There are alot of pictures, layouts and diagrams. I enjoy every minute of it.
