This long-awaited textbook has been written by a team of authors with special interests and expert knowledge in their chosen fields. This is reflected in the depth and relevance of information presented.

It is divided into six chapters which include subjects allied to the NEBDN post-certificate courses - oral health education, special care, sedation and orthodontics. In addition to this there are also chapters on career development pathways and the future for dental nursing.

All of these are subjects which have long suffered from a lack of relevant text books. This book more than adequately fills the gap and presents many ideas for further study. Each chapter is clearly presented with its own contents page and includes recommended tasks to help the reader apply the information in a practical setting.

Overall, this is an excellent addition to the dental nurses' library.
