THE SUNDAY 8§ DENTAL HYGIENE GAINS IN PRESTIGE Miss Lillian Cain Supervisor of School in Third Year at G. U. With the licensing of dental hygi- enists in many States and the recogni- | tion of the practice and teaching of ' mouth hyglene as & profession by prac- tically all State legislatures since the World War, there has opened a new, ! uncrowded and dignjfied profession for | young women without the necessary | four years of preliminary ground, as in the case of graduate nurses. Since medical science has discovered that practically 90 per cent of the diseases of the human body enter through the mouth, the value of scien- tific training in dental hygiene as a public health measure has been en- hanced to such an extent that now the training has emerged under the tute- ilage of the medical-dental profession ‘as & new and responsible career for young women Back in 1906 there was Lonly one practicing dental hygienist in ‘the United States. Now, there are 2,360 registered hygienists in the 26 States which recognize the profession as one requiring a license to practice. The District of Columbia Dental Fvgienist Association, founded in 1924, “with nine members, has experienced a wholesome growth and influence in _dental and medical circles. There are ‘now 34 registered hygienists in the District, including one man. First Dental Hygienist. The first dental hygienist in the ‘country studied under Dr. Alfred C. Fomes, who founded a school later in Bridgeport, Conn., from which the first ‘class in hygiene was graduated. These young women rendered valueble service At the concentration camps during the war. Dr. Fomes' pioneer work at Bridge- port was recognized by the school board, “which co-operated with him. As a re- sult, the Bridgeport schools remained open during the entire great influenza epidemic during the war and Bridgepor! had the smallest percentage of influenza cases of any citv in the countrv. The Forsyth-Tufts Dental College, in | “Boston, was the next to take up training dn dental hygiene, after Dr. Fomes' Fchool unfortunately was discentinued. ‘Within recent years the profession has grown until now there are 12 recognized schools of dental hygiene, including the ane at Georgetown University in this city. This comparatively young and un- crowded profession opens a wide field of useful opportunity to women and girls with the necessary educational r?quire<‘ ments. ‘The public schools in the District | fully recognize the value and need of trained hygienists to guard the health | of puplls and instruct them and their parents In the proper care of the mouth, | "This is one of the phases of the prac- | tice which offers special inducements to ‘graduates, since there are openings for hyglenists in all thoroughly modern public and private institutions. ‘The importance of dental hygiene as & general health measure makes its practice one of genuine service to hu- manity as wcll as a remunerative and pleasant vocation. All people are in need of such services at frequent times and the services of trained hygienists are becoming more and more required by dentists in private practice. Broadly Fpeaking. the practice falls into two dis- tinct types. the teaching of mouth hygiene in schools and in public health work. and the prophylactic treatment of the mouths of patienis in private prac- tice, In hospitals or private institutions under the pcrsonal supervision of & licensed dentist. Opportunities Greatest Now. Opportunities for practice in dental hygiene Were never so great s Now. With the supply of typists and steno- graphers already exceeding the cemand, the year of training necessary for grad- wuation from & school of dental hygiene provides an opportunity to many high school girls who are casting about for occupations. The course in dental hygiene at the Georgetown University School of Den- tistry is the only one in Washington and is now entering upon its third year. number of high school graduates al- ¥eady have registered for the one-year Zourse, which begins on September 8. A few special students are being ac- cepted, but these cannot qualify for a Tertificate of graduation. The Georgetown school started the Tourse first as an experiment and last year established it on a firm basis. Miss Lillian Cain, a graduate of the Forsyth-Tufts College and a practicing hygienist of wide experience, was en- gaged as supervisor. The course in gental hyglene now has 22 professors, all of them connected with the George- town Dental School, and professionally qualified in their own special flelds. Practical work in_prophylactic treat- ment and dental first aid are given i the school's new laboratory, which is th: Jargest and finest equipped in Wash- dngton. Miss Cain has just returned from attending the Summer course at the State Teachers' College, Buffalo, N. Y., where she took up mental and applied hygiene, public speaking and other- Avise gained experience in the advanced Btages of the profession. ‘The dental hygiene course at George- fown, with the exception of hospital training, is the only department open %o young women. o . 5 Georgetown U.
