How is the Christian faith best incorporated into the dental school experience and dental practice? How does it impact one’s professional and personal choices? Many practitioners wonder about such matters and especially the effect a demanding dental practice has on their personal life and marriage. A group of dentists offer answers that are important to consider by all in the field. Addressed are a broad range of contemporary issues, from determining a practice location, the Christian dentist’s obligation to the poor, their responsibility in foreign and domestic missions, financial issues, the role of the spouse in the practice, and much more. These essays are direct and written from the perspective of the dentist utilizing Biblical guidelines as the authority for decisions.
