Show your students how to apply nutritional principles to promote optimal patient care! The Dental Hygienist's Guide to Nutritional Care, 6th Edition, explains how teaching proper nutrition can improve patients’ oral and systemic health. Case studies and clear, full-color photos and illustrations provide a basis for assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the care of patients. In addition, a solid foundation in nutrition prepares students for the subject’s increased emphasis on the NBDHE examination.
