A History of Dentistry in the US Army to World War II
A detailed history of the development of military dentistry in the United States, from beginnings in the early 17th century, through the professionalization of dentistry in the 19th century, dental care on both sides of the Civil War, the establishment of the US Army Dental Corps in 1909, and the expansion of the Corps through World War I and afterward, to the verge of the Second World War.
Dentists at War: 12 Who Went Beyond the Call of Duty
In Dentists at War—12 Who Went Beyond the Call of Duty, author Norman Wahl has attempted to show how the dentist, so often envisioned by the public as the staid, methodical “tooth carpenter,” is capable of heroic deeds when called upon to do so, especially during wartime.

The "United States Army Dental Service in World War II" contains a wealth of valuable information on the founding of the Army Dental Corps, its experiences in World War I, and the administrative and morale issues that plagued the Corps during and after its ramp-up during World War II. Most of the book provides a detailed picture of the immense logistical difficulties inherent in delivering quality dentistry to soldiers in tra...
