Summary
Written with an emphasis on real-world situations that you'll encounter on a regular basis in dental hygiene, this complete reference is divided into three sections: ethics, law, and simulations and applications. You can apply your knowledge with plenty of case studies and activities based on the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE). Plus, appendixes with the recently revised American Dental Association (ADA) and American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) codes of ethics make this the most up-to-date ethics book for dental hygiene available.
