Open Wide and Laugh: Fun at the Dentist? Why Not? - Hardcover

by Bernard G. Park (Author)

This book is about the journey through time from the placid years of the 1950s to the present, with dentistry as the vehicle and humor as the driver. Beginning with dental school and continuing with service in the US Army and through five plus decades in the town of Colchester, Connecticut, it shows how humor became a very important factor in the dental practice, both as a way of reducing fear in the patient and also of humanizing the image of a dentist. People looked forward to going to the dentist! Honest!
