She has also taught clinical dentistry and practice management at the UCLA School of Dentistry, where she currently serves on the Board of Counselors. That’s why it’s not a good idea to include your sensitive or personal information, and it’s never OK to include someone else’s.

I completed my vocational training pathway and was subsequently awarded both the Membership of General Dental Practitioners (2007) and Membership of Joint Dental Faculties (2008). Practicing dentists, for whom I now have nothing but respect, should also make this book their required reading.

This book should be kept visible so that one can always refer to it when they need dental or a health related guide. This book offers facts and figures regarding famous historical figures, such as John Hunter, Dr Crippen, Doc Holliday, and Paul Revere, exploring how their connections to dentistry shaped them, as well as the story of the two young dentists who discovered the principles of general anaesthesia. It begins with the most important how to choose a competent and ethical dentist – and ends with a discussion about technological advances in the dental field.

The teeth are such an integral part of the playing mechanism that even slight changes can cause problems.

I have had a great deal of experience dealing with both children and extremely anxious patients and love being able to provide a good dental experience for every patient. Teresa Yang highlights in her new book, Nothing but the Tooth: An Insider’s Guide to Dental Health, not only reminds us of the critical aspects of dentistry, but also the nuts and bolts ensuring those critical components.

The main thing though is thinking about the longevity of the tooth rather than the restoration and thinking about how we can keep a tooth for life. I was not able to put down Nothing But the Tooth: An Insider's Guide to Dental Health, by Teresa Yang. The book takes the reader through a whole host of interesting dentally relevant areas and is not rivaled in any other text out there. If you are looking for a dentist in Sutton Coldfield who is gentle, friendly, won’t lecture you, and will definitely not hurt you I can certainly recommend Celia and the staff at Nothing But The Tooth.

Nonetheless, I've had many unpleasant, unnecessary, and confusing encounters in many dentist offices leaving me jaded and looking for education and verifiable facts on this topic. I enjoy most aspects of dentistry, and was proud to receive the BDA medal and the Periodontology prize when I qualified in 1987. Recently, an acquaintance of mine recommended Dr Yang's book, and, much to my surprise, I feel like I actually understand what's going on. In these pages, you’ll find all the information you need to help you ask relevant questions about your treatment.From entering the practice until I left I was treated with the utmost professionalism and compassion.
