Description

This concise teaching tool on community oral health practice focuses exclusively on the role of the dental hygienist in community dental health and presents the essential information taught in dental hygiene curriculums. Students will gain the competency, skills, and knowledge they need to pass the Community section of the National Boards, while the enthusiastic, informative style of the text enlightens them about the fulfilling and exciting career choices available in community dental health.

  • A practice exam with community "testlets" similar to those on the Community section of the National Boards assists dental hygiene students in passing the exam.
  • The most up-to-date information current with Healthy People 2010 objectives is included, focusing on improvements in the health of all Americans.
  • A mock exam features case studies and multiple choice questions that duplicate the format of the National Boards and expose students to the same type of questions they'll see on the exam.
  • At the end of each chapter, Dental Hygiene Community Health Competencies as designated by the American Association of Dental Schools identify which competencies are covered in that chapter.
