David Snape has always been concerned about truth.  He questions authority and the status quo because he knows 'they' are not always right.  The book, What You Should Know about Gum Disease - A Layman's Guide to Fighting Gum Disease stems out of his personal experiences and a search for answers about gum disease. Faced with a 'deep cleaning' treatment that he did not want, David knew he had to find answers because his trouble with gum disease was serious.  Even though his hygienist and dentist wanted to perform this procedure, he knew there had to be another way - a better way.   After personal research and five months of effort, he returned to his dentist.  She and the hygienist were amazed.  They couldn't believe the difference and actually said that he no longer need the SRP (deep cleaning) treatment.  David was delighted but his learning did not stop there. He continued looking for answers to gum disease and experimented on his own body to write about what worked for him.  You will not find two people who are exactly identical in every way.  Therefore, the same old thing won't work for everyone.  But with this book,  you learn more than one approach to beating the gum disease problem. Once he had the answers he needed to conquer is own gum disease, David knew he had to tell others what he had learned.  The book, What You Should Know about Gum Disease - A Layman's Guide to Fighting Gum Disease promises to tell you things about gum disease and how to fight it that you have not heard before.  David does advocate professional care.  In fact, he believes this book would make an excellent resource for patient education in any dentist's office.  Far from being dreary or dull, tDavid's book brings a strange topic to life with personal stories, experiences and answers.  Considering the high incidence of gum disease today - every family ought to have a copy of this book.   David's book has been endorsed by a periodontist, a dentist, a medical doctor, an osetopathic doctor and dental hygienist with over 33 years of clinical experience. Both professional and non-professionals have praised David's book.  It is a must have and a must read for every family and every individual concerned about the health of their teeth and gums.
