"terrible book" according to Momazon. Please don't waste your money on this book. You won't get anything useful out of it except how to ask a patient to open or close their mouth. Most of the phrases taught here will be useless in a real dental office visit, and for some reason they added menus and information about fiestas as page fillers. It's really my fault for buying a book on dental spanish that wasn't even written by dental professionals. What we really need is a book on how to explain fillings, crowns and dentures and other treatmen. Funky Grandma said Not very helpful. The CD with this book has one speaker that sounds exactly like Peggy Hill (King of the Hill).

I agree with the other reviewer: save your money.. very general book if you are looking for a very very very basic book its good. i didnt think it was comprehensive. I am in dental school and i was looking for more detailed descriptions.

So, the surname by which official records are kept is the first surname"It is important for Americans and Latinos to understand these differences, to record the correct surname on dental records, consistently. For example, in the story, Marco's name would be written Marco Antonio Hernández Calderón or Marco Hernández C. The CD will
