History of Baltimore College of Dental Surgery It will probably be news to most persons to know that Baltimore has the distinction of having instituted the first dental college in the world, and of having originated the degree of D.D.S., Doctor of Dental Surgery, now used by most of the denta l colleges of the United States and Canada and in some parts of Europe.
