Jack Saroyan D.D.S.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Our teeth should last a lifetime. For many Americans this is not the case despite the world's best technology and treatment. Most dentists emphasize treatment over prevention. Daily oral hygiene is talked about but not taught to dental students or patients. Something is very wrong when regular patients with common gingivitis are referred to a periodontal specialist. It is time for dentists, patients and policy makers to be given an insider's look on the importance of oral hygiene habits and its effect on your dental and general health.
A folksy and engaging testimony to a great man and the dental profession to which he has devoted his life. Dr. Saroyan has weaved a story of his own experiences in dentistry with the basics of a dental education for the layperson emphasizing common sense prevention. As an advocate for optimum oral health, Dr. Saroyan looks at the controversies surrounding fluoridation and offers suggestions for a compromise. His insights into and opinions of dentistry and dental profession politics are deep and positions are always taken with the public’s health in mind. A great read for those who are in the profession and those who are interested in what goes on in their mouths.
This book is worthwhile reading for dental patients, aspiring dental students, and dental professionals. Doctor Saroyan is an exemplar of continued lifelong learning through serving the faculty of a dental school with his emphasis on prevention. Dr. Saroyan pulls no punches by revealing his frank and strong opinions in which dental public health can be improved by professional organized efforts.
