Review :
"I would recommend this book to dental profes-sionals who want to use current best practices and principles in the man-agement of medical emergencies in the dental practice. It would also be a helpful study aid to those taking under-graduate or royal college examinations. I know that I would have found it to be very helpful indeed." ( British Dental Journal , 26 October 2013) "What sets this textbook apart is its extremely well organized chapters... That is why this book is helpful, either for one who is learning emergency care for the first time or for one who simply desires to review techniques." ( Journal of the Massachusetts Dental Society, 1 July 2013) "This is a 200-page paperback, in a handy, slightly larger than AS size, and it is well-illustrated in full colour." ( BDA News , April 2010)
