Publisher’s description: Learn how to make sound ethical and legal decisions in practice with ETHICS AND LAW IN DENTAL HYGIENE, Second Edition. This book is written in the context of "real-world" situations that you will encounter on a regular basis in dental hygiene practice. The book is divided into three sections: ethics, law, and simulations and applications. The latter section contains 25 case studies with accompanying discussion and thought questions, along with testlets that mirror the style of the newly revised National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE) and suggested activities. Appendixes include the recently revised American Dental Association (ADA) and American Dental Hygiene Association (ADHA) respective codes of ethics, making this the most up-to-date ethics book for dental hygiene currently on the market. With this expert guidance, you’ll be prepared to take the NBDHE and address ethical dilemmas in everyday practice.

Making the American Mouth is at once a history of United States dentistry and a study of a billion-dollar industry. Alyssa Picard chronicles the forces that limited Americans’ access to dental care in the early twentieth century and the ways dentists worked to expand that access—and improve the public image of their profession. Comprehensive in scope, this work describes how dentists’ early public health commitments withered under the strain of fights over fluoride, midcentury social movements for racial and gender equity, and pressure to insure dental costs. It explains how dentists came to promote cosmetic services, and why Americans were so eager to purchase them. As we move into the twentyfirst century, dentists’ success in shaping their industry means that for many, the perfect American smile will remain a distant—though tantalizing—dream. Order at:

A team of acknowledges experts, including three health lawyers, has provided on overview of this complex field at the intersection of theory and practice in a clear and organized manner. Every dentist is subject to a panoply of ever changing legal regulations, the impact of which must be assessed quickly and precisely when conflicts arise. This handbook offers guidance for the analysis of dental-legal issues in all pertinent areas. Many examples are included, as well as check lists, decision models and defensive strategies. Current jurisprudence and pending changes to the law are already being considered.
