Dentist Delaware

Professional dentistry rests upon a threefold base: education, organization and literature. During the years 1839 and 1840 in the United States the tripod of dental professionalism was established for the  very first time anywhere, and dentistry was elevated to the high level of excellence at which it has since remained. Although about a dozen dentists contributed to this remarkable advance, two in particular stand above all the others, Horace H. Hayden and Chapin A. Harris. 

March 6, 1840 - the first dental college in the world, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, was chartered by the state of Maryland, due to the efforts of Hayden and Harris.

Hayden and Harris collaborated to form the first nationwide association of dentists. The conception was, without question, Hayden's.

1839 - Chapin Harris, who long had foreseen the need for an authoritative dental periodical, was instrumental in founding the first in the world, the American Journal fo Dental Science (AJDS).
