Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry, June 18, 2009

On page xiii Preface, it is quite meaningful to all of us. I write it here for your reference “a lot of players say you can’t play that course. That’s a bunch of junk. A good player can play any course. You adapt your game to the golf course. You don’t adapt the course to your game.” It is the spirit of dentistry. Can anyone of us take a few minutes of thinking what’s the feelig of visiting a dentist at her or his childhood especially at their first visit? I said that because I met before. The one changed my life and made me having a chance of reading this book. So, it is a good book. Keep it!
The book provides many clearly illustrations that are easily understand and very useful at practice.
There is a special chapter talking about pedo endodontics and writing so details. Moreover, a huge chapter of dental trauma of children give us references to handle the case if we meet.
