The Perio Handbook

‘I commend Reena for writing this complete guide to periodontics, made possible by her knowledge of the area and, most importantly for advice on such a practical subject, her detailed experience of clinical practice. As a keystone of oral health, the periodontium is of increasing importance in our complex world, with the developing knowledge of the relationships between oral and general health. I am confident that this book will empower readers to reach professional and personal heights of excellence in the care of their patients and themselves.’

— Dr Stephen Hancocks OBE, former Editor-in-Chief, BDJ

‘This is not just another book on periodontology, of which there are many. Reena has expertly captured the practical essence of the subject, and her book is packed full of down-to-earth, practical advice, analogies, hints, and tips to improve your care and communication with patients, and systems that will make delivering periodontal care rewarding, successful and always interesting.’

— Dr Len D’Cruz, Head of BDA Indemnity, General Dentist and Practice Owner
