Where There Is No Dentist

"better to have it, and not need it; than to need it, and not have it!" Three generations of dentists in our family and would not dare risking a book shelf without this classic.

I was looking to expand my library of self sufficient type books. Really I accidentally ordered this one when ordering the doctor one. I haven't really read it, but took some time to thumb through, look it over pretty closely and read a few excerpts that interested me. Enough, at least, to decide it's a keep rather than a return. It has alot of great information that would be helpful along with some pretty decent illustrations. Really for anyone building their one library it's a great addition.

This book freaks out my wife. It's very thorough and helpful. Still looking for how to replace teeth with one long curvy tooth, no gaps. It's good to have but I hope I never have to use the info in this book. 5 star, would and do recommend.

A HUGE sticker was on the front cover of this book... not very smart placement by whomever stuck it on. Luckily, I had some lemon essential oil and was able to get it off and then all the sticky residue with the oil. Suggestion: put the sticker (if there has to be one) on the spine or on the back, not the front cover. It is a new book, and in great shape otherwise, and we look forward to reading it.

Full of great information that can help in the mission field.

Very interesting and educational book

No connection to dentistry, bought for informational purposes only. Well worth the general insight into dentistry ! If out in never never land, only help.

The book gives detailed information on how to educate people about dental health and how to treat dental damage to teeth in a variety of ways. The only thing I found odd was a section suggesting using the most advanced and expensive form of dental filling for filling teeth as a semi permanent solution where no drill is available. There may be a good reason, but I'm a little unclear why. Perhaps the much less expensive silver amalgam filling, which can be purchased for about one dollar per filling, will not hold without a properly prepared and drilled hole to put it into. Very easy language making it easy to understand for people with no dental background.

I received the 2010 edition, not 2019 as advertised. I returned it.

This is a very useful book if you are planning an expedition to a remote area, live in a remote area or want to be prepared for SHTF/TEOTWAWKI The written word within is easy to understand - almost written for someone reading it as their second language - but that is a big positive, as the person reading this book will unlikely be a dental professional. The diagrams are clear and complement the text. Another good feature about this book is that it gives plenty of advice and tips on teaching oral health in the community, to prevent oral decay in the first place. Highly recommended - 5*'s

Un indispensable quelque soit l’endroit où l’on se trouve…

医療環境（歯科も含む）が悪いのは発展途上国だけでないです。 日本でも山間地、沿岸などアクセスの悪い所では歯医者さんにたやすく通院できません。 そういう時にアドバイスを行うのに最適な本とお思います。

Easy to follow, handy book
