From 2004 all dental nurses who wish to continue in their present duties will be required to undertake the NVQ in Oral Health Care. Written by a team of specialists at the Eastman Dental Hospital, Dental Nursing for NVQ 3 covers all the underpinning knowledge required for the new NVQ, with each chapter specifically written for the individual units. It is also ideal reading for dental nurses studying for the National Certificate in Oral Health Care, and an indispensable reference tool for those who have already qualified. Activities and questions are included to aid understanding, and the text is supplemented by a range of diagrams and photographs. Areas covered include: cross infection in the work place, the use of Radiographs in dentistry and minor oral surgery.
