Hey guys, anyone know of any good ideas for presents for soon-to-be dental students? For example, anything that would be useful during dental school or cool to have. Thanks guys!

$$$ always make a good present when you have already spent so much to get in.

One thing one of my friends gave me, which I thought was really cute was the game "Crocodile Dentist". Its a game where you push down teeth, and whoever makes the crocodile close his mouth loses. Its not very useful, but its a really cute present, which I will defenetly take with me to school.JesseBrad3 said:

i prefer to think of it as "congrats on a job well done" present, but either way - electronics are always big with me. i don't know how much you're out to spend, but i bet a pocket PC would come in handy in dental school. or how about a laptop or cell phone if they don't already have one. if you are really out to spend a lot, how about a car? or if you are looking to go on the less expensive side and have access to the school bookstore, i bet a sweatshirt or other gear with "XXXX School of Dentistry" on it would be cool. or maybe a gift certificate to the bookstore for dental books and other stuff.

JMO, but I wouldn't get a dental student anything even *remotely* related to dentistry. Seriously, if someone were to give me a tooth-related gift I'd be hard-pressed not to introduce their teeth to my fist...
If you insist on going the dental route, there's a book called "The Illustrated History of Dentistry". Yeah, it's kind of geeky so YMMV, but I found it really interesting. It seems to be out of print but you can find used copies online for $50ish.
Another notable publication is "Reality: The Techniques Volume I" (can be purchased for $100+ at realityesthetics.com). It's just a general overview of dental procedures, but the full color photos are awesome. DS1's usually don't get much exposure to clinic so it's nice to flip through the Reality book and remind oneself of all the cool stuff that's on the horizon.

'Dental Anatomy - Its Relevance to Dentistry' by Julian Woelfel. By far the best book (IMO) for teeth ID.
