Urgencias Médicas Dentales

Conceived as a guide for immediate reference, Mariano Hernández's work orders the medical emergencies that may arise in a dental practice and translates them into clear courses of action for the whole team. The approach is deliberately practical: recognise the picture, decide what to do and know also when to refrain, starting from a properly taken medical history and from the principle of not medicating when in doubt. It incorporates checklists and a training calendar designed so that the practice can rehearse its response before it is needed. It works equally well as reference material kept to hand in the practice and as a basis for training dental nurses and hygienists.
