Textbook for Dental Nurses

Textbook for Dental Nurses Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

The eighth edition of this British textbook includes new standards for the protection of dental staff and their patients. Updates include health and safety legislation; additional advice from the General Dental Council; recommendations of the Poswillo Report and its effect on provision of general anaesthesia and sedation in dental practice; simplification of the administrative structure of the National health Service; and advances in dental materials technology. Examples of examination questions are provided, together with an outline of post- certification qualifications.

Review:

"Future compulsory registration and continuing training of professionals complementary to dentistry means that books such as this one, which covers all aspects of dental nursing, provides essential - and up to date - reading for both those already involved in the profession and those embarking on training for initial certification.

Weighing in as over 400 pages, this well-indexed textbook is simply a must for all practising and prospective dental nurses."

BDA News, 2004
