Dentists have a bad rep. Even though we all know how important oral hygiene is, that chair and the countless stainless-steel tools are quite scary. If you think seeing all those tools lined up on a tray is daunting, imagine having to memorize them and know exactly what each little tool is for!
Dentistry is a highly challenging and competitive field and dental students need relevant textbooks to learn from and develop the skills to ensure good oral hygiene within their communities.
