Pocket Dental English is tailored to meet the specific learning needs of nonnative English-speaking students of Dentistry and Oral Health Sciences who desire to acquire the ability to communicate confidently and accurately in English within their fields of study, yet it is also a practical self-study guide for English language learners (ELLs) who need to use English oral health terminology in their professional or private lives, either in their own country or abroad.
This resource is a collection of general oral health topics, explained exclusively in English. It is designed to help ELLs review the core concepts related to multiple dental disciplines and sharpen their English language skills specific to dental settings. In particular, it delves into critical subject areas such as the development of human teeth, their biological and anatomical aspects as well as highly prevalent oral health conditions, detailing the most frequent causes, symptoms, treatments and preventive measures for each type of emergency. Furthermore, it addresses various patient management strategies applicable to both younger and older individuals within the context of general dental practice.
The topics in this book are organised into six thematic sections, presented in a clear and logical format that promotes active learning and allows for quick reference. This volume includes a comprehensive, learner-friendly answer key.
1. Tooth anatomy
2. Types of teeth
3. Common oral health conditions
