Two facts are well known. First, that dental disease is preventable, and second, that there are not enough persons engaged in the practice of dentistry to adequately care for the people needing dental service. The College of Dentistry of the University of California presents this problem in its various aspects, thusly. (1) The health of the people, particularly the children, is largely dependent on sound teeth and a clean mouth. (2) Preventive dentistry or the proper care of the teeth and mouth will tend to insure good health and lessen the cost of dental service by eliminating the need of restorative or reparative dentistry. (3) A division of labor by training women in a new vocation as dental hygienists offers a solution of the problem. These phases are interdependent and they may be appropriately discussed under the title "The Dental Hygienist," since service is the keynote in the whole theme. Public health is now conceded to be one of the most important phases of our national life. Legislation relating to health is being enacted all the time in law-creating assemblies throughout the country from the town hall to Congress. The health of the nation is really the sum total of individual health, and should properly begin with the child by establishing rules for hygiene, and the prevention of disease. Dental disease, primarily a children's disease occurring usually between the ages of four and sixteen, is preventable. The method of preventing it is by practicing mouth hygiene, which to be effective must be properly and regularly followed. It is authoritatively reported that not less than eighty-five per cent of children have decayed teeth. The logical place for the introduction of mouth hygiene measures to prevent decay and their more serious sequela is where the children are to be found, viz., in the homes or the schools. Since it is very difficult to introduce such measures generally in the homes, for obvious reasons, the most suitable place is the schools, and the school authorities throughout the land are recognizing the fact that the physical as well as the mental development of the child is a part of the function of the public schools. The child not only teaches his parents, but later in life he teaches his own children, otherwise the public schools would have no place in bettering social, physical and economic conditions in the country. The simplest procedure in preventing dental disease is to keep the teeth clean. When this is done regularly each day there is little need for dental service other than prophylactic work at periodic intervals, and the the care of the teeth and the methods of cleansing them. The solution of the problem seems possible by the establishment of a new vocation for women, the dental hygienist, who when properly trained in a well-equipped dental school will render service to the people, particularly children, under the direction of a licensed dentist, by removing the deposits from, and polishing the exposed surfaces of the teeth. In the public schools the service will be rendered under the direction of a com petent supervisor who in addition thereto will give class instruction on the care of the teeth and the methods of cleansing them. Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut have already enacted legislation providing for such service. In Bridgeport, Connecticut, the work is so efficiently carried out that the percentage of children suffering from dental disorders has been reduced from eighty-five per cent to fifteen per cent, and the general health and scholarship of the children has proportionately improved. Believing in the efficacy and importance of mouth hygiene, the Regents of the University of California approved the recommendation of the faculty of the College of Dentistry that a course of instruction for dental hygienists be inaugurated, and it was voted by the faculty to institute such a course during the term 1918-19. The present law, however, prohibits persons from operating upon the teeth for fee, salary or reward, unless they are duly licensed dentists. It will, therefore, be necessary to amend the present law, which amendments will be proposed in January, 1919. In the event the amendments fail to meet with the approval of the Legislature, persons engaging in the study of this vocation will be obliged to refrain from practicing as dental hygienists until the law is amended. The course of instruction will train women to become dental assistants as well as dental hygienists, so that employment may be secured in the former, if not in the latter capacity, upon graduation. The customary requirements for admission to the University, namely graduation from an accredited high school, will be required for admission. The curriculum will include the following subjects, all of which will be taught in the College of Dentistry: Physiology, Anatomy, Pathology, Bacteriology, Dental Anatomy, Hygiene, Prophylaxis, First Aid, General Principles of Nursing, Dieteties, Business Methods, Laboratory and Office Practice. The fees for the course will be $100.00 for instruction, payable at the opening of the term or by special arrangement, in two equal payments at the beginning of each semester. A laboratory rental and deposit fee of $10.00 will be required to cover apparatus. Books will cost about $25.00 and instruments about $20.00. These should not be purchased until after registration. The course of study will extend over the customary academic year beginning September 30, 1918, and ending June 4, 1919. Entrance eredentials should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, Berkeley California. A certificate of graduation will be issued to all who satisfactorily complete the course.
