Rating:  out of 5 stars - Basic, Very Basic
I don't like to leave negative reviews, but I was sorely disappointed with this book and it's counterpart, "Where there is no doctor".

Rating:  out of 5 stars - A great book

Rating:  out of 5 stars - An excellant book for those traveling in the wilderness.
Where there is no Dentist by Murray Dickson is an excellant book for those traveling in remore areas of the world. Information in the book will allow the non dental care person to give emergency care to those they may come in contact with in third world countries as well as themselves or companions. This book and a small dental kit will get one through the journey and back to civilization with reduced or "cured" pain fron the dental demons.
