Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ethics and Jurisprudence for Dentists The moral obligations and duties which rest upon a man, and which he is expected to assume and acknowledge by reason of his occupation, are as important a part of his education and as worthy of his earnest attention and effort as the sciences and arts by the acquisition of which he seeks to prepare himself for his profession or employment. Dentistry has developed into a profession independently of the medical profession - that is, by teaching in its own schools, and conferring its own degree instead of teaching in the medical schools and practicing under the medical degree, and this has resulted in the past in a wider separation between the two professions than is desirable or necessary. That dentistry is a branch of the great art of healing is beyond controversy, and the broadening scope and increasing thoroughness with which the medical sciences are being taught in the dental schools is gradually preparing the way for closer relations, a more intelligent cooperation, and greatly increasing cordiality between the two professions. These cordial relations, expressed by consultations together, the reference of suitable cases by members of each profession to those of the other, and the mutual acknowledgment that certain classes of cases belong exclusively to dental practice and other classes of cases exclusively to medical practice, would be impossible if the dental and medical professions did not conform to essentially the same standards of ethical requirements. As a matter of fact, the ethical code of the dental profession has its source, its inspiration, and its authority from that of the medical profession, and the "Principles of Medical Ethics" as acknowledged and promulgated by the American Medical Association are of equal force and obligation for the dental profession, with a few exceptions, perhaps, of matters which relate to things not included in dental practice, and one or two in which dentists are not accustomed to apply the medical rules with strictness.
