DENTAL HISTORY COMES ALIVE

An irresistible book has just come to Practicon’s attention: The Dental Patient’s Little Book of History, Humor and Trivia. Researched and written by Don Dible, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Dental Soul, this paperback is packed with historical facts about dentistry presented in a humorous, quick-read format that grabs the interest of dental professionals and lay people alike.

From the legend of the toothworm, an explanation of the cause of toothache recorded on a stone tablet found in Nineveh, the capital of the ancient Assyrian Empire, to the founding of the American Dental Association in 1859 to factual trivia of the 20th century, this little book is a fascinating trip into dental history and memorabilia.

Watch for its debut in Practicon’s April 2011 catalog.
