The first chapters present the Structure of the Dental Profession, The Dental Nurse and Legal and Ethical
Issues. After presenting the criteria for Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and the role of the Dental Nurse,

Assessment and Diagnosis, Oral Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Pain and Anxiety Control.
The involvement of dental care in the therapeutic, prosthetic and minor oral surgery acts is des-
cribed in the last chapters. The book is an indispensable resource for the NEBDN Diploma in Dental
Nursing, summing up recent developments in dental nursing practice and education, according to the latest
General Dental Council standards, and also a great benefit to dental nurses studying for the City & Guilds
Diploma in Dental Nurses, Level 3.
The manual contains representative images in each chapter, and a website to test knowledge through inter-
active MCQs and EMQs. Although this book was intended to be a source of information for dentists in the UK,
the book is recommended as a guide for any dentist anywhere.
