Professional dental education ... the beginnings.
From very humble beginnings, professional dental education for the world began in 1840 at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, the site of the 46th meeting of the American Academy of the History of Dentistry. Most all countries today have professional dental education facilities or require formalized professional education of those permitted to the legal practice of dentistry. Throughout the world, most dental educational institutions historically can trace their beginnings, directly or indirectly, to the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.
