Be Inspired

"To promote the cultivation of the science and art of Dentistry, sustain and elevate the professional character of dentists, and encourage mutual improvement."

         -  Dr. William Thomas Green Morton

Inspire Others

Two years after the civil war ended the country was at peace. That was in 1867, dentistry was just "cutting it's first teeth." A new organization was born and named The American Academy of Dental Science. The records of the academy have been meticulously kept and are a priceless chronicle of the development of dentistry in america. The Academy has always fostered a strong interest in dental education and until comparatively recent times drew its Fellows primarily from dental educators. It has been characteristic of the Academy to exhibit a general rather than a local interest in dentistry. The Academy sent delegates to the American Dental Association conventions. It took a firm stand on all the important issues affecting dentistry. It made an appeal to act from a higher nature not a mercenary one and commended more gratuitous operations in relief of the suffering. The concepts of professional dignity and nobility is repeatedly and indelibly inscribed in the records of the Academy.
