Oral surgery taking place in the operating theater at the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children, Boston, Massachusetts, the foremost pioneer among charities for children's oral health

Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children

Dental clinics--Massachusetts--Boston

Mouth--Surgery

Dental surgeons perform oral surgery in the operating theater of 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 dental or medical procedure taking place in a clinical setting. Several individuals in white coats and head coverings are gathered closely around a seated patient, focusing on the procedure. Additional instruments and covered tables are positioned nearby. In the background, multiple individuals in white attire observe from tiered seating, suggesting a teaching or demonstration environment. Handwritten text appears across the upper portion of the image, and “Forsyth Dental Infirmary” is visible near the bottom.
