Dental Disorders Demystified

“The Complete Book of Dental Remedies”

Flora Parsa Stay

Avery Publishing Group

220 pages, $15.95

If mouth troubles are your woe in life, this is the book for you. Dr. Flora Parsa Stay, a dentist, compiles a list of typical dental disorders and lists remedies that include conventional dental therapy as well as homeopathy and nutritional therapy. A third section of the book provides explanations and illustrations on dental techniques. This could be a good adjunct to family medical guides, which rarely go into much detail about oral ailments. Just what do you do if your child’s front tooth is knocked loose or if you develop an abscess the day before you leave for vacation? You won’t, however, find a remedy for putting your foot in your mouth.
