Ethics--dental registration in the seventeenth and early eighteenth century
British Dental Journal
|November 8, 2001
Abstract:
In the histories of dentistry, some mention is made of the licensing of tooth-drawers, and those who provided dental healthcare before the term Dentist started to become general in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. One of the most striking references to licensing appears in a little piece of doggerel printed under a 1768 print by Dixon after Harris.
