Your Teeth - News to Make you Smile

Product Description

Everyone at some time will have to visit a dentist. In the past, before the widespread use of fluoride, the likeliest cause was decay, but the emphasis has shifted. Today's array of treatments can be quite bewildering. This practical, easy-to-understand book looks at the choices you may have to make, from "bad bite" to bruxism, root canal work to "cosmetic" options. Drawing on a range of credible, up-to-date sources, experienced health writer Derek Mortimer answers all the commonly asked questions about children's teeth, fear of the dentist, bruxism, gum disease, dental care for the aged and, not least, what you can expect to pay for specific treatments.
