Dental care is a part of health maintenance that is often overlooked. A trip to the dentist for routine hygiene or treatment of a problem is often a source of anxiety. Popular medical books are easy to find, but there are few books on dentistry for lay readers. Written by a dentist interested in health education, The Complete Book of Dental Remedies fills this gap in health collections.

Editorial Reviews
Biofeedback, Newsmagazine of the Association for Applied Psychophysology and Biofeedback, 1993
".... The lay reader, however, will appreciate the straightforward explanations, recommendations, and vignettes of fellow sufferers such as Bert Reynolds. If I was a patient, exhausted by replicated studies and puzzled looks from the medical community, I would feel deep gratitude for Dr. Taddey's attempt to diminish my confusion and empower me with useful information."

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ichord has written an entertaining history of dentistry that is full of gruesome treatments, terrifying instruments, peculiar cures, and superstitions. The book's 12 chapters are devoted to such varied topics as the belief in the evil toothworm, early dentist-barbers and tooth-drawers, dental quackery, and tooth decoration. Because the chapter titles are exotic rather than descriptive, and the organization is a sometimes confusing hodgepodge of topics and historical periods, the book is better suited for browsing than as a research tool. With wise use of the index, however, report writers will find brief but helpful information to bolster reports and fill in studies of ancient cultures in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Source notes, glossary, bibliography. Randy Meyer
