"Jong's Community Dental Health" focuses on the role of the dental public health care professional in the socially conscious health field. Dental students, dental hygiene students, and dental assisting students need a practical overview of the role of the dental professional in the health care community. The dentist's role has evolved to a much more active member of the health team, concerned with preventive and early diagnostic services. The book is organized to follow the objectives of dental hygiene courses in community dentistry.
