Advanced Dental Nursing
This book is intended primarily for dental nurses who have obtained their national certificate or National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) equivalent and would like to consider changes in their career development or extend their knowledge and skills particularly in the areas of oral health education, special needs, orthodontic and sedation nursing. The recently extended remit for dental nurses has not been included as this is addressed in other texts such as the teamwork publication Changing Roles in the Dental Team published by the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners, UK.
Dental radiography has been excluded not only to reduce the cost and the size of this book but also because there are number of useful textbooks covering this area already on the market, such as Radiographic Imaging for Dental Auxiliaries, to which the interested reader is referred. Since general anaesthesia (GA) is now not undertaken in a primary care environment and the number of nurses wishing to specialize in this area has significantly diminished, GA nursing has also been omitted.
