Customer Rating:  
Summary: Basic, Very Basic
Comment: I don't like to leave negative reviews, but I was sorely disappointed with this book and it's counterpart, "Where there is no doctor". It is deefinately written at the most basic level, almost insultingly so...things like "clean your teeth daily", while providing ways to make toothbrushes, but completely leaving out which plants would work (very well) to keep the bacteria count down. Same thing for pain and other items. Still, it has it's place as a very general reference that even your children could follow should you become disabled.

Summary: A great book
Comment: Too bad there are'nt more writer's of the same mind, filling in the gap between costly expertise andlayman srticture. The book is a well-balanced workbetween hand drawn illustrationsand simple, succinct text, explaining procedures for teeth cleaning,pulling, simple filling, brokenteeth, etc., to the uneducated, 3rd -worldvillage healthcare worker, anddescribes how to construct the necessary instruments and materialsout of what bits can be found at hand, for all the procedures. At one end, we pay for the dentist's scent & muzak, at the other, with this book, they discardthe intervening fluff and tripeand get something done themslves. Actually, the book deals with poorer standards than readersanywhere else would like to seeaddressed.

Summary: An excellant book for those traveling in the wilderness.
Comment: Where there is no Dentist by Murray Dickson is an excellant book for those traveling in remore areas of the world. Information in the book will allow the non dental care person to give emergency care to those they may come in contact with in third world countries as well as themselves or companions. This book and a small dental kit will get one through the journey and back to civilization with reduced or "cured" pain fron the dental demons.
