Reed, Debbie (2021) The history of dental nursing. British Dental Journal Teams, 8 (21). pp. 48-51. ISSN 2054-7617. (doi:10.1038/ s41407-021-0782-x.) (KAR id:92015)

Abstract

The period of the early 1920s was critical to the professionalisation of the role of the dentist, including regulating those permitted to carry out dental treatment. As a consequence of that, the role of the dental nurse became a contested area. Whilst County Medical Officers wished to continue to employ dental nurses, it was others - those seeking to secure regulated practice for registered dentists only - who presented objection.

The article explores the origin of dental nursing and charts it’s history.
