Reactions
“This book would be very useful to students involved in community health outreach projects, and to others invited to present dental health education programs in schools. This is definitely a book that should be utilized by all health professionals who, like the author, believe ‘teeth that will last a lifetime begin with early prevention.’” — Journal of Dental Hygiene
