Making the American Mouth

Dentists and Public Health in the Twentieth Century

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is at once a history of United States dentistry and a study of a billion-dollar industry. Alyssa Picard chronicles the forces that limited Americans' access to dental care in the early twentieth century and the ways dentists worked to expand that access - and improve the public image of their profession.
