Purchase options and add-ons

Organized by the way dental care providers interact with patients, this practical handbook helps anyone working in the dental office to communicate more effectively and improve the quality of care delivered to Spanish-speaking patients. Conveniently sized and easy to use, this valuable resource covers everything from the initial greeting with the patient, to recording the patient's history, assessing the patient's overall health and oral health, and discussing any kind of dental procedure. Even readers with a limited understanding of Spanish grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation will be able to use this guide to formulate explanations, instructions, and questions in Spanish.
  • A companion, audio CD-ROM is included and provides the English to Spanish translation of every phrase in the book.
  • Content covers everything from salutations to case histories and follow up care ― in the style dentists and assistants interact with patients.
  • The highly portable, pocket guide format is easy to reference when taking a history or working with a patient.
  • Terminology included in this reference covers the gamut of topics that are essential to effective communication in the dental office ― related to both administration and procedures.
  • Clinical exchanges covered in the book include those that deal with the hygiene appointment, the dentist's preventive checkup, taking x-rays, and treatment planning.
  • More specific phrases are found on the specialty dental visits ― including periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry ― as well as front office exchanges between a patient and the business assistant.
  • Content covers speaking to pediatric patients and includes more simplistic language.
  • Informal expressions provide more casual phrases to use with the patient.
  • A comprehensive glossary offers an English to Spanish list of common words and phrases divided by categories ― such as days of the week, interrogative questions, common dental terms, and other terms in common use that are not necessarily related to dentistry.
  • Each English phrase appears in boldface type, and beneath the English phrase is the same phrase in Spanish, not in boldface.
  • Several versions of equivalent expressions are provided to ensure that individuals with different styles of communication will be able to select the expressions that they like best.

This is an excellent reference on english to spanish translation of words and phrases necessary to render dental care to spanish speaking folks. It is not however, a substitute for a rudimentary working ability to speak/read spanish. It comes with a CD that has pretty much the entire book on it so that one can print out any or all of the book that they find themselves using frequently. I would recommend this book along with a good elementary education in conversational spanish through local academic intitutions or computer assisted instruction.

The CD that came with my book did not seem to be recorded in professional studios. There is backgroud noise and is hard to follow when compared to some other Spanish CDs I studied before. However, I am only a beginner in learning Spanish.

this book is VERY helpful if you work in the dental field and have dificulties explaining treatments in spanish. Some of the terminology is a little too formal and wouldnt translate easy for some patients but that is a very small percentage.
Great book, worth the money.

This guide is helpful if you already have a basic understanding of Spanish. Although it has a great introduction, it would be nearly impossible to pick up the language just based on this book alone. The phrases are very complete and thorough.

This is a cool book, lots of useful phrases. But I'm not sure how well I'll do with learning and using them!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2007
I have spoken Spanish fluently for over ten years and have spent the last four years translating for dental patients and professionals. This book describes dental terms in a way that may be understood by other Spanish dental professionals, but not by your Spanish patients. For example, I have not met a single Spanish-speaking patient who would ever use "dentadura" instead of "placa" when referring to a denture, and more than 70% of my patients are Latino. The ordering of the phrases is sometimes awkward, such as commonly placing the subject before the predicate in a question, which is usually reversed in Spanish. I'm still looking for a good Spanish Dental Terminology reference.
