The Long Climb: From Barber- Surgeons to Doctors of Dental Surgery
Unlike other books on the history of dentistry,
The Long Climb: From Barber-Surgeons
to Doctors of Dental Surgery outlines
the personal struggles endured and
victories achieved by the leading personalities
of dentistry during its development
from antiquity to the present. It showcases
the courage and determination of dentistry’s
pioneers while exposing the episodes
of weakness and dishonesty that tarnished
the image of the dentist. By highlighting
the controversies surrounding major advances
in dentistry—gold versus amalgam
filling materials, operative versus mechanical dentistry, the relationship between
medicine and dentistry, and the restriction of practice imposed by patents—this
book gives life to the same old story, making this history book the most robust and
entertaining of its kind.
