In this issue of Dimensions, we get up close and personal. Up close with an interview of a world-renown caries expert and a "how-to" on area-specific instruments; personal with articles about tooth whitening and treating patients with Rett Syndrome. Our popular Product Profiles give information about a variety of professional and patient products. And if you're wondering what toothbrush to recommend, check out the toothbrush reference guide. Top it off by enjoying the Departments, where you can learn more about the ADA Seal and even take a European tour :-) Ready....set...go!
