Utah-based dental educator and practitioner Christensen distinctly writes for the buyer and user of dental services, but his sales pitch is to dentists: he urges them to keep a copy in the reception room, instruct staff on how to use it, and supervise patients using it. Among the topics are choosing a dentist, controlling pain, implants, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and preventing the need for dental treatment. The first edition appeared in 1994.
