Description
The opening of the West was the dominating feature of the 1880's and dentistry followed the development of the country. The first name registered in the permanent register of the College of Dental Surgeons was that of Frederick Davis Shaw. In 1885 he applied to the North West Territories Council at Regina for permission to open a dental practice. He then set up a regular schedule to provide dental services to the centers of Fort MacLeod, Pincher Creek and Lethbridge. Lorenzo D. Keown and his brother William set up practice at Regina in the year 1886.
