LATEST STUDY HELP FOR STUDENT DENTAL HYGIENISTS

Updated Review Book
for NBDHE


Saunders Review of Dental Hygiene, 2nd edition, Margaret J. Fehrenbach and Jane Weiner, Saunders/ Elsevier

Search inside this book
(see inside at site- includes intro chapter!)



  1. Contains a NEW interactive CD-ROM with full-length simulated exam, along with puzzles and informative illustrated programs. 

  2. It includes an updated “testlet” case study format so as to really zing along during studying.

  3. It is written in user-friendly summary mode to cut out any extras not needed at this time. 

  4. It is fully modeled after the specific National Board exam guidelines by those in the know.  

  5. It comes from two respected dental hygiene educators knowledgeable about the NBDHE.

  6. It is not a slapped together study guide that says it has “secrets” that are shared by hundreds of other test study guides.

  7. Also acts as a review for the practicing clinician who wants to know the latest and greatest about the profession.

dental boards This book is really helpful. I love the CD it comes with. It’s got a lot of good information on it. It came highly recommended from my instructor.


There is no better book! This is such a great book! It is easy to read like Kaplan. Comprehensive like Mosby. And includes the best companion disc! I wish this was the first book I had purchased to study from. It is amazing. It even includes case studies throughout each chapter. Don't waste your money on anything else!

Saunders review of dental hygiene does a very good job of covering an entire dental hygiene syllabus in a single volume.

What is Dental Hygiene Review?

Review capsules of information to help both those student dental hygienists that are taking (or retaking) the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE) as well as the practicing dental hygienist who just wishes to refresh their didactic knowledge in IMPORTANT treatment concepts. 

The capsules will be concentrated on just that....concepts; a small overview and then review concepts will be given for each area and then will be followed by questions with answers on that material to help with retention. Each month will try to cover two MAJOR subjects that seem to go to the top of list for dental hygiene care.


EXAMPLE



Capsule 1:

Anatomy Review - Overview of Body Systems

 

Objectives: 

  1. Review of basic anatomy of the systems of the body.

  2. Relate basic anatomy to dental hygiene care.

  3. Transfer basic anatomy concepts to daily private practice or use when studying for national board.

 

Overview: 

Anatomy is a subject that many times (too often) we tend to forget about when treating the patient. However, in order to treat the 'total patient', we have to be alert and educated about many of the anatomical parts of the body.

Coloring is being used in formal therapeutic settings such as eye-hand coordination development and to help heal victims of trauma.  Studies also show that coloring can reduce stress. Regardless of your needs, there is so much to be gained by spending some time coloring. Choosing your colors and the gentle, repetitive motion of your hand as you bring color to paper helps quiet your mind - bringing your usual rapid-fire thoughts down to a much slower pace. So take a break from your studies and find your creative center! 

The diagrams have numbered leader lines with the labels given in a table below each diagram so that students can mask these out for purposes of self-testing. Students report that they find this can be an effective supplementary method for learning anatomy.

NOT FOR KIDS!

  This book is the perfect addition to any Dental Anatomy course textbook. Great pictures, easy to understand.

I LOVE the dental anatomy coloring book you designed!! I wish I had something like this when I was in DH school. The pictures and the quality of the pages is fantastic.  It is a great and relaxing way for students to learn the anatomy!

Dental hygienists are a community of professionals devoted to the prevention of oral disease and the promotion and improvement of the public's health. Dental hygienists are preventive oral health professionals who provide educational, clinical, and therapeutic services to the public. 

As a healthcare professional, a dental hygienist is called on to know a wide range of information related to patient care. These links and the information presented only begin to show the range needed as a dental professional working in patient care! 

Student dental hygienists, browse through the over 200 sites of interest to you listed below by Margaret.  Be sure to also check out the associated webpage DH Links for even more in-depth information on research, patient care, and dental professional associations. Also check out an outline on the ASA PHYSICAL STATUS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (referenced in Wikipedia!) And it is a good idea to join SADHA and check out the ADHA Student Member Page.

Dental hygiene instructors (present and future ones), view a PowerPoint Program on Diversity in Dental Hygiene Education (Copyright 2010, BASDH Online Degree Program, St. Petersburg College). Or watch it on YouTube!
