Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LOVED IT
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A leading text for Dental Hygiene
Now in its 9th edition, Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist retains its standing as a leading text for dental hygiene.

Yes, individuals diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome should definately be treated by the health care professional as "special needs", but there is NO connection to mental ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - clinical practice of the dental hygienist--Wyche
I ordered this book with the idea, based on how it was advertised,that it was a summary of Esther Wilkins book. Instead,it was a workbook, without answer keys. It requires that you also have the book " Clinical practice of the Dental Hygienist" by Wilkins, for it to be of any value. I was very disappointed as to how it was represented by amazon.ca and the editorial review is not correct for the product.
