Understanding First Class Dental Care: A Human Interest Story by Paperback

Superb book about dentistry by Dr Vine! This is a MUST READ book that really explains how dentistry works! This book I first bought in the Kindle edition. And I was so pleased with this book that I also bought the paperback edition as well. This is a SUPERB BOOK about dentistry! For me, I am terrified, yes terrified of going to the dentist. Yet I do go to the dentist, however, I wanted to read a book written by a dentist that explains the different aspects and treatments in dentistry in a soothing manner. Dr David Vine has written this book in a warm and conversational manner. It is like he is sitting next to me showing me pictures of different dental procedures and explaining them to me.
Dr. Vine's knowledge and experience is outstanding and he has a warm and caring spirit for a dentist.

**All of the 50 sections in the book were superb and helpful (filled with color photos). However, my favorite section is the section on Periodontal Disease. In this section, Dr Vine shows actual pictures of the different stages of this disease and different treatments beginning with the milder case being just a very through cleaning to remove tartar and restore gum health and then he goes on to Planing and Scaling and then on to Full Gum Surgery. All of these had excellent treatment information and color pictures (before and after).

Highly recommend this book to all people that want to know more about dentistry!

Best Dental/medical book ever written, February 27, 2011
By David Vine, D.D.S. (Miami Beach, Fl United States)

Since I am the author of this book there may be some bias. This book is like no other dental/medical book ever written. It starts off by introducing the author with a pictorial bio. This is important in that it shows the reader where the author is coming from. After a brief overview of what it takes to become a dentist, the author shows what most dental procedures look like. The heavy emphasis on biology in the dental education is explored and the relationship to medicine and aspects of physiology is explained. The author questions the way modern medicine deals with the aging process and he advocates that aging be considered a degenerative disease that ultimately demands a cure.
The future is analyzed and hopefully we will live to see a btter world.
