Adequate Overview
This book is disappointing in its scholarship. I had hoped it would contain more up to date information on state of the art techniques, but instead it is aimed mostly at explaining basic dentistry and book-keepingskills. Every veterinarian should have a dentistry text, but I thinkHolmstrom's 1998 book is more comprehensive and informative.

wonderful index makes this resource invaluable
For vets and techs, this volume gives reasons for dental care, explicit photos and ways to deal with clients. The excellent index allows easy access to the book. ... Read more

The book describes clearly and concisely the indications and methods for many common operative and conservative procedures in dental practice.

Getting started!
This is an excellent book for those who are just getting started in children's dentistry. It gives clear and concise information and the illustrations are first class. The book is a must for clinical practice but is definitely not for diagnostic purposes.
Treatment planning and the technical aspects of carrying out treatment are described in detail with a step by step approach.
This is an excellent undergraduate textbook and a good teaching resource. ... Read more

An exceptional book!
I am a second year dental student at the University of the West Indies, School of Dentistry, Mount Hope Medical Sciences Complex, Trinidad, W.I. This book was a recommended text on our reading list. I used the book to prepare for my recent dental exams, and as it turned out I managed to top my class...I guess this is a reflection on how student oriented this book is.

I really enjoyed reading the book. It was never a bore, and the illustrations were very helpful in visualising what was being narrated in the text.

I highly recommend this book to all dental students and I also feel that those already in practice should have a view of this book to refresh their minds.

There is much knowledge to be gained from this book as it provides the beginning student with a firm foundation upon which to build on. ... Read more

Good, Practical Advice
Wet-Fingered Dentistry offers sound, practical advice on private practice. Almost every "specialty" is covered, including orthodontics, implantology continuing education, practice management, relationships with colleagues and establishments.

However, do note that you won't find too much technical details in this book; just brief and general advice without a lot of elaboration. It could have been a little more "meaty". Nevertheless, I wish I had this book 15 years ago when I was just starting out. I could have learned so much from this book instead of learning from mistakes. ... Read more
