What This Book Covers

Dentists get a bad rap. Even though the dentist is often the first responder in the battle for a patient’s healthy body, we sometimes fall prey to the fear that continues to circulate around this group of professionals sparked by long-ago stories about bad dental chair experiences. This book, A Cup of Coffee with My Dentist, hopes to change that—at least for a few dentists, anyway.
