Book Synopsis

The book gives future parents, nurses, dentists, and physicians simple, proven, step by step directions for producing children whose teeth will not have cavities, can be protected from injury, and can often avoid the need for straightening. If orthodontics is required, you learn how to obtain the best results at the most reasonable cost. On another level, you learn how private dental organizations have conspired with persons at the National Institutes of Health in Washington to keep the knowledge of cavity-free children from the public for 40 years. Much of that sordid political tale will make you angry while the antics of some of the people involved will make you laugh.
