About this title

Synopsis

For those of you holding back on asking your dentist a question, this just might be a more enjoyable way to get the answer. Hundreds of your questions over the years have been selected and organized by subject area and addressed in plain language. The Whole Tooth is every bit the polished, practical and evolved reference, it just happens to be dressed in casual clothes.

Here you will find information on teeth and their immediate surroundings presented in an entertaining way. Imagine the words entertainment and dentistry in the same sentence. And yet it is a world of science every bit as fascinating as any other, it just needs a better story teller
