Remember if you are trying to answer questions like describing the disease it is best to use a book or a research starter so remember to limit your search to e-books or print books.

If you are wanting to describe the diseases relevance to dentistry, you probably need a journal article, website or brochure.

Improve your googling by limiting your search to a domain.

Eg.: tuberculosis site:cda-adc.ca/

This limits your search to the Canadian Dental Association website and links to many of their online journals

Here are some other relevant domains to limit to:

site:.edu  (limits to US univeristies)

site:.ac.uk (limits to UK universities)

site:.gov.bc.ca (limits to BC government)

site:.gc.ca OR site:.canada.ca (limits to Canadian government)
