This book provides an overview and details (including descriptions & definitions) of how teeth growth, dental hygiene, what can go wrong, and various treatments. The focus is obviously on children's teeth, but a lot of the problems and solutions apply to adult teeth as well. (Apparently, there's an app to help deal with dental phobia!)

This seems worth checking out for parents and people generally interested in dental details.

Off the record, I may have learned how to floss properly from reading this...

This book delivers exactly what’s in the title. May check it out again as the kids get older.

Looks like a good general resource.
