Summary

Designed for community dental/public health courses, Dental Public Health and Research also serves as an ideal resource for board exam preparation or for dental hygiene practitioners.
                        
Dental Public Health and Research explores the ever-changing world of dental public health–a dynamic career pathway for dental hygienists–and provides readers with the key tools needed to effectively practice and conduct dental hygiene in the public health setting. The Fourth Edition features an increased emphasis on the dental hygienist’s understanding of research principles, and an expanded discussion of public health science. Readers are guided through dental hygiene fundamentals,  programs, research, and practical strategies to give them a true understanding of what it takes to be a successful, contemporary dental hygiene practitioner.
