Few people think of dentistry with warmth and joy. A different world exists within that profession, though. It is pediatric dentistry. The care of children is largely about the relationship built by the dentist with the patient, as well as with the parents. In this book, Dr. Psaltis describes his pathway to a fulfilling professional life that has included funny, touching, sad and inspiring stories. The book is a combination of personal memoire and a professional life. It is also a book about crucial moments that change one's life in an instance. From a frightened and pained nine-year-old dental patient to an international speaker, Dr. Psaltis relates the unexpected pathway that led him to a career that was well beyond his expectations. The stories he tells exceeded the expectations of fearful parents and trusting children. The other element that grows from the start of the book to the end is the circle of life manifesting in a marvelous fashion. Dr. Psaltis's career choice began when he discovered his specialty while caring for children of migrant workers in California. The closure of his career found him treating more latino children on his humanitarian dental projects in Mexico. Sweet, funny, touching are just some of the words that describe this surprising exposé of a part of dentistry that might change many people's opinion of the profession.
