Dentistry & Orthodontics Medical Terminology Guide (English & Spanish) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242799189)

A clear, practical, and bilingual reference for today's dental and healthcare professionals.

Dentistry and orthodontics are highly communication-driven fields - especially when discussing oral pain, explaining procedures, giving post-treatment instructions, or guiding patients through imaging, appliances, and long-term care. Medical Terminology Guide: Dentistry & Orthodontics Edition was created to support nursing students, nurses, medical assistants, dental staff, interpreters, and healthcare providers who work with Spanish-speaking patients in oral health and orthodontic settings.

This guide includes 200+ essential dentistry and orthodontics terms and patient communication phrases presented in a clean, modern, and easy-to-read format. Each entry features the English term, its Spanish equivalent, and a simple phonetic pronunciation to help non-Spanish-speaking professionals communicate more clearly and confidently.

Whether you're reviewing symptoms such as tooth pain, gum inflammation, jaw clicking, dry mouth, or facial swelling - or explaining procedures like dental cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, braces adjustments, retainers, panoramic X-rays, or orthodontic consultations - this guide keeps the terminology you need right at your fingertips for accurate, professional, and compassionate patient communication.
