Nothing But the Tooth: An Insider's Guide to Dental Health

di Teresa Yang (Autore)

Rowman & Littlefield, 2023

Have you ever visited a new dentist and been told you need a “smile makeover,” with the implication that if your teeth were whiter and straighter, you would be more successful and happier? Or maybe you’ve never had a cavity – and now, at age 32, you have a half dozen that require immediate attention. Did you leave those offices thinking, “If I could only find a good dentist…” Nothing But the Tooth will give you practical insights on how to do just that. Teresa Yang, DDS, has been a practicing dentist for over 30 years, fulfilled with the day-to-day mission of caring for her patients. When her friends and colleagues began asking her questions about the field, she realized that not only were they seeking advice from a neutral and knowledgeable source, but that as much as they wanted to believe their dentist, they weren’t sure they could trust the message. Furthermore, a resource for their inquiries didn’t exist. Nothing But the Tooth is a reference guide that provides current and concise information on all things dental. It will answer questions you didn’t even know to ask. For example, what simple habit can dramatically reduce tooth breakage? The book begins with that question – how to choose a competent and ethical dentist – and ends with a discussion about technological advances in the dental field. Topics such as the cost of dental treatment, pediatric and geriatric dental needs, and the link between sleep apnea and your mouth are covered. And so much more. Essential for any dental patient, Nothing But the Tooth will empower you with greater understanding. You’ll gain the ability to ask relevant questions about your treatment. After all, it’s your mouth – and your good health.
