Where There is No Dentist
Today I stumbled upon Hesperian Foundation Health Guides a non-profit publisher that "creates and distributes health materials that provide knowledge for action, and inspire action for health."

In addition to their classic Where There is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook, they now offer Where There is No Dentist.

This manual is perfect for those who are on mission trips or traveling to places where there is no dentist. It's also available in a downloadable PDF.
