MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

Don't miss this inspiring look inside the life of Esther M. Wilkins, RDH, DMD, the pioneering author, teacher, advocate, and mentor affectionately known as the "godmother" of dental hygiene! When Esther passed away in 2016, just three days after her 100th birthday, she left behind a legacy of excellence and dedication to the entire dental hygiene community that will never be forgotten.

Now in The Esther M. Wilkins Story, as Told by Her Friends , Pam Bretschneider shares the story of the trailblazer who devoted 57 of her 100 years to the dental hygiene profession and wrote the world-renowned textbook, Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist , which was first published in 1959.

After a 2008 conversation sparked this authorized biography, Bretschneider, one of Esther's longtime friends, spent years compiling letters, stories, and photos from over 50 of Esther's friends and co-workers that span her professional career. The result is a fitting tribute to the woman who helped shape the course of the dental hygiene profession.
