Praise for Teeth:An NPR Best Book of 2017Winner of the Studs and Ida Terkel Prize"Mary Otto, a former Washington Post reporter, doesn't just dwell on the numbers—she makes what could have been a turgid health policy tome spark with outrage over the stories of people who have suffered."&#151;NPR "[Teeth is] . . . more than an exploration of a two-tiered system—it is a call for sweeping, radical change."&#151;New York Times Book Review [Otto infuses] what could be a mundane topic with quirky history, heart-wrenching real-life stories, and prose that is . . . poetic . . . this harrowing book pulls at the heartstrings. It’s a must-read for anyone who cares about public health policy."&#151;Newsday"With many adults still uninsured, children’s dental care far from universal, and the future of government-supported health care unclear, Otto’s sobering report should not go unheeded."&#151;Publishers Weekly "Otto’s well-reported and important book will arouse concern over the fact that dental health, which is so essential to our well-being, gets such short shrift, and, hopefully, help instigate reform."&#151;Booklist "An astute examination of the complex, insular business of oral health care."&#151;Kirkus Reviews"Mary Otto hits us right in the face&#151;our teeth&#151;with this important book. The lack of dental care for millions of Americans is a national shame. Teeth breaks new ground in the canon of books about poverty. It should be read by anyone concerned about the class divide in the U.S."&#151;Dale Maharidge, author of And Their Children After Them, winner of the 1990 nonfiction Pulitzer Prize"I can&#8217;t remember the last time I read a book that so brilliantly yokes physiological, political and cultural systems. Rife with discovery, and a spur to social action, Mary Otto&#8217;s book is a beautifully readable and essential testament for these times."&#151;Mary Cappello, author of Swallow: Foreign Bodies, Their Ingestion, Inspiration, and the Curious Doctor Who Extracted Them"Mary Otto brings history, policy and painful personal realities together in this compelling and engaging book about our nation&#8217;s highly preventable epidemic of oral disease. Teeth should be read by every policy maker and health professional who believes we can and must act to reduce the current barriers to dental care."&#151;Louis W. Sullivan, MD, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 1989&#150;1993, and chairman of the Sullivan Alliance to Transform the Health Professions"Who eats too much sugar, leading to dental trauma? Primarily the poor. Who cannot sleep because of continuing dental pain and no available dental care? Primarily the poor. Even with Medicare and Medicaid, dental care has remained a stepchild&#151;and these programs are in jeopardy now. &#145;The teeth are no match for . . . a life of poverty,&#8217; Otto says. More teeth failure and its consequences are on their way."&#151;Peter Edelman"Here&#8217;s a book that will enlighten you, upset you, and give you hope. I highly recommend it."&#151;Bob Herbert, Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and former op-ed columnist for the New York Times"Mesmerizing and important. Mary Otto&#8217;s unflinching work on the miserable state of oral health in America gnaws at you like a toothache."&#151;Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-8)
