Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children

Dental clinics--Massachusetts--Boston

Dentist and dental hygienist attend to a child in the tooth extraction chair in the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children, a ground-breaking and universal model for the modern care of children's oral health (whatever their economic circumstances) located in Boston, Massachusetts and founded as a charitable institution in 1914.

The scene shows a clinical setting labeled “Forsyth Dental Infirmary,” with one individual seated in a dental chair undergoing a procedure. The seated individual is connected to dental equipment positioned around the chair. Two medical staff members in white uniforms stand on either side, one near a piece of equipment on the left and the other closer to the patient. To the right, a small table holds various medical instruments and containers. The room has tiled flooring and a radiator along the back wall
