Dental First Aid for Families (Idyll Arbor Personal Health Book)

Dental First Aid for Families is, first of all, a serious book about what to do when you have a dental emergency. It will help you when your baby is crying from teething pain, when your teenager knocks out a tooth in a skateboarding accident, when you have a toothache, when you lose a cap or when a denture breaks. There is information on chipped teeth, wisdom teeth, things stuck between your teeth, cut lips, bleeding after extractions, canker sores, cold sores and even bad breath. Beyond that there are stories and information about whats normal from birth through the senior years, from the first teeth to dentures. Some of the ideas will save you a buck, some of them will help you sleep through the night, some will reduce your pain. Others will reduce your worry to keep you going until you get in to see your family dentist. All of the ideas will help you have healthier teeth and gums because thats just what dentists are supposed to do. Richard Diamond: Its all t! old with humor and caring by a dentist who spent 35 years in the same community taking care of the teeth of friends, their children and their grandchildren, along with countless others in the community. None of these ideas is a deep, dark secret but here they are, all in one place, and ready to make dealing with your dental concerns a whole lot easier.
