Dental clinicians have a responsibility to teach patients the importance of oral health care, and this book shows adult patients what can happen if they neglect their teeth. 98 full-page images show what plaque, decay, and gingivitis look like and how they can contribute to periodontal disease and tooth loss. Proper brushing and flossing techniques are also included. With the combination of clinical images and concise text, this book is an excellent chairside tool for patient education on oral hygiene. 48 pp; 98 full-pg illus
