Advanced Dental Nursing

Advanced Dental Nursing is a must have companion for every dental nurse for the post-certification courses in oral health education, special care, sedation and orthodontics. It also now contains a brand new section introducing material for the new post-certification course in dental implant nursing.

The book also provides useful information on career development pathways and CPD, as well as aspects of clinical governance and research in primary care.

This second edition has been fully revised and updated in light of recent and significant changes in the dental nursing profession – namely the NHS contract, compulsory registration and continuing professional development.

The structure is user friendly to allow for it to be read from cover to cover or dipped into as required. An essential read for dental nurses pursuing post-certification courses.
