What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"The book provides a vast amount of information in a lot of detail on aspects of personal as well as work life. Although not a crucial read for British undergraduates, it would be useful for any dentist seeking further knowledge on setting up a practice, or who has an interest in management." (British Dental Journal, 10 December 2010)
