The Basic Guide to Oral Health Education and Promotion is the perfect step-by-step course companion for dental nurses studying for a qualification in Oral Health Education. In addition, it is an invaluable resource for other members of the dental team and health professionals involved in educating and promoting oral health to patients and the wider general public.

Topics covered include dental structures, anatomy and physiology, oral diseases and prevention, the principles of education, oral health and society, promoting oral health in the 21st century, patient communication, project planning and workplace assignments.

The book reflects recent changes in oral health, numerous innovations in procedures and techniques, infection control with regards to oral hygiene aids and developments in oral health products. In addition, a brand new section has been added on education and research.
