The new edition of Prevention of Oral Disease remains the only comprehensive textbook covering all aspects of dental prevention. Chapters covering conventional preventive issues such as diet and fluorides are complemented by innovative new or revised material in a wide range of areas, including mucosal disease, the pulp odontal disease. Generic subjects such as the social dimension of oral health and health promotion underpin the clinically based chapters. The book is relevant to anyone who has to provide or understand prevention, irrespective of their clinical discipline or interest.

• The new edition has been brought in line with undergraduate teaching methods and the way in which dentistry students learn/revise
• The only textbook to cover all aspects of preventive dental care in a focused, evidence-based way
• New two-colour text design and numerous summary boxes and key points throughout the book ensure a format that is learner friendly
• Cross-disciplinary, with editors from different fields
