I like this version because it has been updated, October 05, 2015

I like this version because it has been updated. It is a good overall for becoming familiar with the dental field. this alone won't prepare a student thoroughly, but in conjunction with working Front Desk in a dental proactive, this should be a great support.

Shipping Issues, June 08, 2014
By Alecia Webb

I needed this book for my classes, and paid for my for 2-3 day shipping. I had to contact the seller twice before actually receiving my book. The first time they apologized for the delay, and refunded my shipping. 3 days later my book had been shipped to the other side of the country. I contacted the seller a 2nd time and they apologized again. They then refunded my entire purchase and sent me a new book that arrived 2 days later. So I gave them 3 stars. It was a headache dealing with this, and it put me behind in my school work. The customer service was decent, and I eventually got my book that's why I am giving them 3 stars (Bedford Book Company) This is the workbook and comes with the CD. The Textbook does not.

Got a little confused, September 14, 2012
By A Customer

I bought this book thinking it was the textbook because they look just alike and are both softcover but obviously it says WORKBOOK. Me and my classmate did the exact same thing. I haven't used it because the workbook isn't required. Im going to sell it.
