5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great knowledge., February 10, 2016
By Anthony
Very good depictions and instructions. I just wish it would reference herbal remedies for pain, reduce swelling after procedures, and infection prevention. Definitely a must have for a survival enthusiast. You never know how important your teeth are till they hurt.

4.0 out of 5 stars.  It should be 5 stars but..., January 31, 2016
By Carolee U.
The capacity to help villagers meet the challenge of dental hygiene and dental emergencies is BIG in an area that has bad roads, extreme poverty, and the realities of trying to keep working to just put food into the mouths of the family. This book, once translated into Kiswahili, will be a gift - I just wish that had already been done. To go through the process of getting it (maybe) in Tanzania - will be just too late for yet another year. Not good - even though the book is excellent and deserves 5 stars.
