Something about the father of modern dentistry

                                             

Hi everyone!! Today I’m going talking about Pierre Fauchard, who is cosiderated the father of modern Dentistry.  He was born in  1678. He is very known for his book “The Surgeon Dentist”. The book is about the Oral Anatomy, sings and symptoms of some Oral Patologies, some thechniques for removing decay theet, Periodontal disease, and little about teeth transplantation. So we talk about the first complete scientific book about Dentistry too. The book consist in two volumes, and them was published in 1728.

His ideas was widely spread in Europe, and his work influenced many medical minds. They found a guide in the legacy of Pierre. On the other hand, is important to mention, Fauchard was too considerated like one of the first studious to denounce malpractices in Dentistry. He acussed many pepople who prentended be a Dentist without knowledge or experience.

Now a days, an academy was inspired in his memory, The Pierre Fauchard Academy is an International Dental Organization that was founded 1936. The objective of the academy is recognize  and acknowledge to dedicated dentists.
