| Are You Suffering From Gum Disease?
Do not worry too much, many people are. In fact, statistics tell us that up to 75% of people are walking around with some form of this problem at this moment!
You see, this is a very common problem that many people really do suffer from. The good news is that often times it is not too late to do something about it! If you still have teeth left that are not loose and wobbly, there may still be time for you to take action that could help prevent expensive dental bills and painful treatments.
Again, this is a very common problem. If mere brushing and flossing worked for everyone could the above statistic be true? Yet, that is the percentage that most dental professionals will express when you ask them!
What You Should Know about Gum Disease is actually a pretty good book! In fact, many people have said so. While it does illustrate the story of how the author was able to avoid a 'deep cleaning' or scaling and root planing treatment, it really teaches us much beyond that.
This book is very dentist friendly and yet is written for the patient! You will learn a great deal from it that you can then take back and talk to your dentist about if you so choose.
Dentists should also be happy because once you know a little bit and know the right questions to ask, it will make an honest dental professional smile from ear-to-ear. If you can take part in saving your own teeth and gums, most will be delighted!
As a dentist friendly book, it is even suggested that dentists give this book to each new patient as a gift for coming in to their office. It can relieve you of the burden of patient education - allowing you to focus on what you do best - caring for the patient!
Not to Brag or Anything, Here is What Professionals Have to Say
David Snape saves!!! He may save teeth, money, time, and pain, but most importantly, he may save lives. Now that links have been established between the infection of chronic periodontal disease and many systemic illnesses like Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke and Low-weight pre-term birth his words are invaluable! Dave's new guide, "WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GUM DISEASE" is a great layman's handbook about how to care for your teeth and gums.
He has thoroughly researched gum disease and has written an easy to read guide for people to help themselves, yet gives balance to the need for professional care. This book is a must read for people who are afraid to go to the dentist, people in underserved areas or those who just can't afford professional dental services. Dave makes the reader aware of the signs of gum disease and what they can do to help themselves.
This book should be in dentist and doctor's office waiting areas and health clinics for the poor and working poor. He is respectful to the importance of Dentists and Hygienists in their role in helping people achieve good oral and systemic health, but also helps inform the public how to be better patients! Definitely a valuable book to have handy on everyone's bookshelf!

Dr. John Corso:
David Snape really gets it. Only you, the individual, can keep yourself from slipping through the many cracks in our well-meaning, but overly generic health care system.
Perhaps not glamorous enough to command constant media coverage, Periodontal Disease, nonetheless has far-reaching health implications for every individual, affecting both quality of life and longevity.
Drawing from his own in-depth experience and knowledge on the subject, Snape enables his reader to go easily beyond the minimal preventive care offered to most Americans. The results will empower his readers to take charge of this vital, yet often-ignored aspect of good health and wellbeing. I only wish I had this book twenty years (and several lost teeth) ago.
�John Corso, MD, author of Stupid Reasons People Die
Dr. Ellie Phillips
David speaks for thousands of compliant patients who visit dental professionals regularly. These people follow directions, use recommended products yet never reach the conclusion of their treatment plan. Is oral health beyond control? Is damage caused by insufficient care? David shines a bright light on these concerns.
Read, enjoy and start to question authority!

�Stan Wint, DDS Periodontist
Dr. Tamerut Adams:
The book IS wonderful, and very informative! It's down to earth, in layperson language, and gives direction where one can begin searching for dental health and improving overall periodontal care.
�Dr. Tamerut Adams, D.O. Board Certified in Internal Medicine
Well, that is that folks! This is a good book and you will be happy that you have it to use for yourself and then share with your friends and family. Giving the gift of good dental health is like giving the gift of happiness. Enjoy this book!
