Have you ever asked yourself, "How did dental hygiene, as we know it, begin?" While I remember learning the history and politics of dental hygiene during my studies, the details seemed to vanish into thin air under all of the other hygiene school pressure.
However, I recently came across this entertaining article, "Dental hygiene's grand history", by Laurie A. Milling, published in RDH magazine in 2010. Then I saw that there was more where that came from, such as this "100 years of dental hygiene timeline". After reading these pages, along with a few others, I was so pleased to see how far dental hygiene has progressed as a profession in the US.
