The historic background of dentistry
A little over 100 years ago, a person could become a dentist by serving an apprenticeship to a practising dentist. In 1840, the first college for the systematic education of dentists was established, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. The history of dentistry as a profession may be said to have begun at this date.
Today, a person desiring to enter the dental profession must first spend from three to four years at an accredited college as a predental student. While there, he will take courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, English composition and literature, a foreign language, history, philosophy and other social sciences. He must also take an aptitude test to determine whether he is a suitable candidate for a dental school. Among other elements, this test measures the student's dexterity; this is an important quality for one who wishes to do dental work.
From the top level of predental students, the dental schools select their student body. There are approximately 40 approved dental schools in the United States, and these are usually branches of large universities. The dental school course takes 4 years to complete and leads to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) The curriculum includes many of the subjects for prospective physicians at medical schools. However, more hours are spent studying the anatomy of the head and neck areas and problems of the mouth and teeth. After the student has received his degree from a dental school, he must pass an examination given by a state board of licensure before he is given a licence to practice. If he does not go into practice, he may return to school to take advanced work leading to other degrees or he continues further study in a specialised field of dentistry.
