{"product_id":"everyone-hates-the-dentist-tom-distefano-9781662950933","title":"Everyone Hates The Dentist","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEveryone Hates the Dentist\u003c\/em\u003e is a book about what it's like to be a dentist. The title is a tongue in cheek statement that juxtaposes an all-too-common expression with the reality of the type of relationships we as dentists actually have with our patients. It was written based on experiences, lessons learned and philosophies developed over a thirty-eight-year career as a dentist. It started out as a memoir or collection of stories which somehow morphed into a philosophical practice management and interpersonal behavioral manual. This led to a more in-depth analysis of how those stories were connected and how to best use the knowledge acquired in order to evolve and develop as a dentist and a person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book talks about the positive impact dental professionals have on the lives of their patients. This also elevates not only their dental health but also their self-esteem and the impact on their overall health. The relationships forged and maintained during that time are the hidden gems available to dentists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book would be of the very most use to young dentists in order to learn many of the things not taught in dental school and allow them to develop some essential skills earlier than they would have otherwise. Seasoned dentists would probably get a chuckle over some of the anecdotes and also be reminded of some of the experiences they've had over the years. Hygienists and dental assistants would also enjoy it as they live in the world described in the pages of this book. In fact, most health care providers beyond dentistry would be able to relate to the subject matter and get a lesson, a laugh or some validation from what is talked about. Part one, titled \u003cem\u003eThe People\u003c\/em\u003e would be a great read for anyone who enjoys personal interest stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom DiStefano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1662950934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662950933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gatekeeper Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Tom DiStefano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47304695415039,"sku":"9781662950933","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79cb0b70-0edf-400b-bd61-2eea2e92140c.jpg?v=1758828900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/everyone-hates-the-dentist-tom-distefano-9781662950933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
