LOVED IT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I had to get this book for school, and I am glad that I had to get it because I used it so much, in every class, referenced it many times for homework assignments and for term papers.
Dr. Wilkins is amazing!

I attended a lecture given by Dr. Wilkins and had my 8th edition text autographed. She is a vivacious, wonderful woman and gave me the refresher I needed. The book is a wonderful part of what it means to be a dental hygienist. To see so many different editions (and so many matching gel pens) carried into the lecture hall was amazing. Truly a book treasured by the prudent dental hygienist.

This book should be mandatory for anyone considering the dental hygiene field. I found it very perceptive and clear cut. This was one of my best study guides and references for my exams and clinical. I couldn't have gotten through state boards without it.
