‘It's not all about dentistry’: this is a symbolic message from Sheila Scott's new book Putting health at the heart of your practice. Her insightful and no-nonsense philosophy shows us what makes a successful ethical practice and how to tap into the ‘well-being’ culture that has emerged in the UK in the last few years.

With this book Sheila really shows us how to embrace a preventative approach and sets us on a path that will ultimately lead us to better health for our patients.

She hits the right note with her dedication to helping to lift the role of dental hygienists within the dental team; we are not simply in practice to provide ‘routine scale and polishes’ and she ultimately highlights the crucial role hygienists have in delivering periodontal care to patients.

This is a simple, effective book that makes great reading. Sheila really nailed it with this one!
