Description

Why is an electric toothbrush better than a manual? If you brush after snacking will you still get decay? Is fluoride bad for you? Why can’t you find an NHS dentist?

If these are questions you often ask yourself, this is the book for you! I Hate the Dentist! (But I Hate Toothache More) covers all facets of oral health, when and how things can go wrong and what individuals can do to keep their mouths healthy. It also delves into the various treatments and services offered by dentists and the relationship between dentistry and the NHS, a hot topic in the ongoing tense political climate, whilst dispelling some of the many myths surrounding the industry as a whole.

Although written by a dentist, the book breaks these complex subjects into accessible chapters, using everyday language that can be understood by any reader with no previous knowledge of dentistry. Learn tips on how to alleviate tooth pain at home and use oral health strategies that can keep tooth problems at bay for years. A valuable resource for dental students or anyone thinking of a career in dentistry, anyone picking up this book will be sure to learn everything they'd ever think to ask and keep their smiles bright for years to come.

Featured Reviews

I enjoyed the expert advice from Dr. Tim Coates in his book, "I Hate the Dentist ! But I hate toothache more." I struggle with anxiety everytime I visit the dentist. I worry that I haven't taken good enough care of my teeth and will need to endure a painful cleaning, or even worse, have a cavity to be filled. I was thrilled to come across this book and am thankful for Dr. Coates' comprehensive guide to caring for teeth. He covers everything from daily toothcare to the more complicated dental surgeries. As I have gained more knowledge about toothcare and implemented a few key changes he recommends, I am certain my next dental visit will be a breeze.

I have never been comfortable going to the dentist I hated it as a child. This book explains everything about going to the dentist and dentistry. It is a fascinating book.
