Modern Dental Assisting, 10e PDF

This book was what was required for my dental assisting class. It is a great book with lots of great pictures and information.

By jessica

I just started a 16-month dental assisting program & received this textbook for it, from my school. so far, I've learned that this is the original book written for dental assistants, by dental assistants. it's the best & if you're going to school for dental assisting, yet still have to purchase your own books, I recommend getting this and the associated workbook. they have both helped me learn sooo much! the only downside is that it's sooo heavy! & I have to walk a lot, so it gets really heavy in my backpack but there's exactly 1,184 pages in it, so...go figure! lol but, hey, at least I'm getting a pretty good workout from it! like I said, I didn't get mine from amazon but I still got the dvd & if I would've had to get mine on my own, I would've gotten it off of amazon.
