THE SCIENCE AND ART OF DENTISTRY

<p>This book is highly praised by me because it provides a detailed account of the history of the dental profession highlighting significant milestones untold stories and hidden legacies. The timelines provide a historical perspective for underrepresented minorities and the entire dental profession. History is critical for the entire profession as we navigate and educate the current and next generation of dental professionals in our national and global academic dental institutions. This book is a call to action for diversity and inclusion of all health care professionals and I encourage every educator administrator and student to share the value of this magnificent book.</p><p>Leo E.

The book The Science and Art of Dentistry: Historical Milestones Untold Stories and Hidden Legacies by authors Sinkford Grant-Mills Mncube-Barnes and Stokes pulls the veil of ignorance and reveals the diverse origins of dentistry. In so doing they demonstrate that there was not one path but multiple paths across multiple continents involving multiple peoples that must be considered. The book therefore represents a triumph of both scholarship and truth as we discover how dentistry evolved.</p><p>Professor Rodney Coates PhD<br />Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Global and Intercultural Studies<br />University of Chicago</p>
