Book Reviews of Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion

Book Review: I BOUGHT IT! AND I LOVE IT
Summary: 5 Stars

I would like to say Dr. Okeson's pedagogic disposition and clear explanations provide a fast, yet safe, route to a broad comprehension of the subject. But I would add that he has included a great dry sense of humour and wit into his photographs and text, to make this book one that even my 8 year old child loved reading. With the style of a Dr Seuss book, crossed with the attention to detail of beatrix potter's illustrations, I am sure this will remain a family favourite for generations to come.
Occasionally, I rmove it from the book shelf and present pages to patients, who also find relief in the likght hearted content. The scary picture on the cover is no indication of what really lurks behind the preface
