I know this book will have great information and the review reinforces that. It’s unfortunate there are still some errors and needs more editing, but I’m sure the information is still valuable. Thanks for the candid review!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book on dental hygiene and other similar topics. While this is a genre and topic I am not particularly entertained by, it is always good to read something different. Well done.

Latest Review: The Grand by Dennis D. Wilson

Post by Nana-Cakes »

The title of this book is what got to me right away. In many ways, although I am an adult, I have child-like knowledge when it comes to a lot of things. Dentistry is one of those things. Learning about things is what makes them less scary and easier to understand. For me, like a lot of people, going to the dentist sounds scary and it is a fear that is not really founded. This book takes away that fear and replaces it with facts as well as advice to the reader which was super helpful. Who knew that your teeth could have such an impact on the health of literally everything else in your body.
The author was able to give facts and advice without sounding bossy, which I also appreciated. Thank you for your post!

The author, who is a dental hygienist, answers questions that many may have about teeth and keeping them healthy. I, too, enjoy the little facts given by the author and think that knowledge can replace fears that we may have. I like knowing the difference between plaque and tarter and I for sure will close the toilet lid before flushing!

The Little Book of Dental Questions, according to the review by Ms. Tri, is full of useful information and she gives one the assurance that reading this book would be enjoyable. Ms. Tri further comments on the editing errors in the book and for this reason I would not read it. I find it very frustrating to read a book that has grammatical and spelling errors. I personally don't believe there is any valid reason for any book to be printed with these errors. I very much appreciate the review by Ms. Tri and am thankful to avoid an ever increasing lack of pride in the publication of literature.

For about a month now, I have had serious dental issues that I had to consult a medical practitioner. So, I understand what relieve this book will give to readers that has some questions on their dental health. Good review

A much-needed book on dental questions makes for interesting reading. It sounds like the author covers pretty much everything one would want to know. It's too bad about the editing problem. Thanks again for the excellent review.

I tried to read a bit of this book, but the style made my head hurt. I also did not care for all of the Bible verses being thrown at me in a book about dental hygiene. It seems out of place and rather forced. I appreciate the review as it is a very good summarization and informative as well. Thank you for your views.

This would read as horror to me, due largely to my fear of the dentist chair (repeat viewings of the Marathon Man do not help). It seems like a handy book for most people to keep on their bookshelf as there is a lot of misinformation on the web. A well-written and thorough review.

This looks like an informative book. Oftentimes we don't give importance to our dental care compare with other parts of our body, we only notice it when one of tooth aches, so i think this book will help educate us.

One of my children is at the age where she is starting to lose her baby teeth, and so she is full of dental-related questions at the moment which is why this Book of the Day is so timely. But it sounds like there is plenty of information on dental health and oral hygiene for adults as well! I think I remember seeing that thing about the toilet flushing and toothbrushes on Mythbusters a few years back, it's funny reading your reaction in this review because finding that out had made an impression on me as well!

I am very scared myself of dentists and after reading this it’s definitely the lack of knowledge we have since we are small. I truly found this book very useful not only to apply to my children but definitely to adults like myself. I’m booking a dentist appointment this week so deff a big thumbs up as teeth are very important.

I may not be a parent, but I do have 3 younger siblings. None of them enjoy the dentist, nor do they like to take care of their teeth. This review was quite helpful, and I may have found the book to educate my siblings on the importance of dental hygiene (in a fun way). I myself am not a fan of the dentist, and it is clear that this book can inform most anyone about what happens both in and out of the chair.

I like that the book seems to be very well organized in a pretty logical manner. However, I'm not sure how I feel about including a Bible verse to pertain to the chapter, because that can really become pretty preachy or over the top for non-Christians. I don't see the importance of flaunting your religion in a book about dentistry...

This seems like a pretty well written and informative book that could answer a lot of questions and calm a lot of worries. However, why include Bible verses with each chapter? Seems kind of preachy to me. Would turn me away from the book
