The book, entitled “Vamos al Dentista (Let’s go to the dentist)” is a pocket size book of vocabulary/phrases commonly used in the dental office, translated into Spanish and developed for the entire dental team. The motivation for the book came from being a faculty at a dental school which attracts a high number of Spanish speaking patients. The ability to communicate with patients for health-related care must transcend philosophy on the use of the English language.
