 Good textbook; but not easy to read June 5, 2008
This book is a decent text however it's not an easy read. I had to reread some parts to totally get the concept. It's not the worst textbook I have ever been assigned thought.
Great... February 17, 2008
Free shipping, got it on time, and way cheaper than what I paid at the school bookstore!

I will be soon training to administer local anesthesia in the dental office where I work as a periodontal co-therapist. This is the book that is required and with the DVD it is perfect for studying. I would recommend this for any dental hygienist in this type of program.
