You can go to the barnes and noble website and type in "dental assisting". It will give you a few options. Check out the books and see the one that best fits what it is you are looking for.

Thanks, but I did that already. They all look pretty similar so I was wondering if any of you have actually read and liked any one particular book.

My purpose is to learn the basics of dental assisting. I'm learning on the job but I'd like to speed up the process...

I shadowed at a dental office during last Christmas. I found a book below being very useful. They used it as a manual in office for everyone.

Book: Torres and Ehrlich Modern Dental Assisting
by Doni L. Bird and Debbie S. Robinson.

I read some of your post to know that you are a former pre-med. You definitely persist in studying. You made a right choice of being a dental assistant but NOT a dental hygienist while waiting to get in a dental school.

Ahhhh finally! Thank you 😛

I ended up buying Delmar's Dental Assisting (2nd Ed. I think)... but I will definitely check out the other book at the library 😉
