The Tooth The Whole Tooth And Nothing But

When the inimitable poet Ogden Nash said, 'Some tortures are physical and some are mental, but the one that is both is dental, ' he clearly didn't have access to this book! In The Tooth, the Whole Tooth and Nothing but the Tooth, two doctors dismantle every dental bogey known to man, and, tongue firmly in cheek, answer those questions we were too scared to ask our dentists. After giving a quick tour of the insides of the mouth, the authors introduce us to the sinister world of dental caries, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, bad breath and bruxism-their nasty symptoms and vile causes-then proceed to present painless solutions! Dread getting your teeth scrubbed? Opt for an enjoyable clean-up with ultrasonic scalers and get a complimentary mist of cool water! Worried about your dragon-breath? Go easy on the radish! Grind your teeth to distraction? Here's a night guard! Grab the front row, as the authors offer sagacious and startling advice (yes, cocoa can protect your teeth, and wait, your mouthwash could be hurting you!) and teach us about the ins and outs of various dental treatment techniques-fillings, root canal treatments, extractions, gum surgeries, tooth replacements, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry-procedures that are far kinder than they sound! This accessible, first-of-its-kind book in India ultimately reminds us why dental appointments don't have to be expensive, agonizing and prolonged, and why our friendly (yes, friendly) neighbourhood dentist deserves a full-toothed smile

"A lively and approachable guide to all aspects of dental health"--

While most books on dentistry describe the clinical and medical procedures involved, this book expands the field to examine the role of dentistry and teeth in everything from biology to biography. This book offers facts and figures regarding famous historical figures, such as John Hunter, Dr Crippen, Doc Holliday, and Paul Revere, exploring how their connections to dentistry shaped them, as well as the story of the two young dentists who discovered the principles of general anaesthesia. Other chapters focus on the amazing ranges of teeth in animals, from the teeth in piranhas to the tusks and ivory of elephants and narwhals, looking at their biological and cultural significance. The importance of teeth in understanding the evolution of humans and in revolutionizing the study of archaeology is also evaluated. This book is appropriate for dentists, medical and dentistry students, and non-specialists to introduce the myriad interesting aspects relating to teeth. Please note that print volumes do not include full colour. Includes well-illustrated and thoroughly explained examples and anecdotes Presents both popular and little-known instances of teeth’s importance in history Written in an engaging tone appropriate for academics and the wider public
