This day in tooth history: Billy Cannon passed May 20th, 2018

From Heisman Trophy winner to respected prison dentist, Billy Cannon lived one of the most unusual second acts in sports history.

Here’s an overview of his career:

- He helped LSU win the 1958 national championship and was known as an explosive runner, return specialist, and defensive back. He won the 1959 Heisman Trophy.
- Professionally, he signed with the American Football League’s Houston Oilers, where he won AFL championships in 1960 and 1961. He later played for the Oakland Raiders and briefly for the Kansas City Chiefs before retiring in 1970.
- Cannon attended dental school during the offseason. He earned his D.D.S. degree from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry.
- After retiring from football in 1970, Cannon opened a successful private dental practice in Baton Rouge.
In the 1980s, financial problems and involvement in a counterfeiting scheme led to his conviction and imprisonment. After serving about 2½ years in federal prison, he regained his dental license.
- In 1995, he became the resident dentist at Louisiana State Penitentiary, one of the largest maximum-security prisons in the United States.
- At Angola, Cannon reorganized and improved the prison’s dental program, eventually overseeing much of the prison medical system. Former prison officials credited him with helping stabilize healthcare services there.
- He continued working as a prison dentist for more than two decades and retired only a few months before his death in 2018.

This Day in Dental History: Margaret Caro passed May 19, 1931.

In 1881, Margaret Caro became the first woman listed on New Zealand’s Dentists’ Register, paving the way for future generations of women in dentistry.

Known for her skill, determination, and advocacy for public health and women’s rights, Caro practiced dentistry for nearly 25 years in Napier, New Zealand. When not practicing dentistry she particularly helped women in need such as u***d mothers, alcoholics, and former prisoners. Her legacy remains an important chapter in dental history.

This day in tooth history: Paul Revere passed May 10th, 1818. Revere is best known for his midnight ride during the American Revolutionary War, but he also played an important role in the early history of forensic dentistry.

In 1776, Revere identified the body of his friend Dr. Joseph Warren after the Battle of Bunker Hill. Warren had been buried in a mass grave, but after searching through the grave, Revere recognized a dental appliance he had made for him years earlier. This is considered one of the first recorded cases of dental identification in American history and helped lay the foundation for modern forensic dentistry.

This day in tooth history: Edward Maynard passed May 4th, 1891. He was a prominent dentist in both Baltimore and Washington, D.C. while simultaneously revolutionizing endodontics and fi****ms technology.
Here is a summary of his notable contributions:
• Pioneer of Endodontics: In the dental field, he is celebrated for inventing the barbed broach, a tool that became fundamental for performing root canals.
• Prolific Inventor: Despite his success in dentistry, he is perhaps more widely recognized for his 23 fi****ms patents.
• The Maynard Carbine: His breechloaded carbine gained significant fame during the Civil War. While some Union forces utilized it, it was most notably used by approximately 3,000 Confederate cavalrymen and sharpshooters.
• Industry Connections: His designs were brought to life by the Massachusetts Arms Company. This firm was founded by Joshua Stevens alongside Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson—the legendary duo who later established Smith & Wesson.

This day in tooth history: Friedrich “Fritz” Pfeffer was born April 30, 1889 in Gießen, Germany. Pfeffer trained as a dentist and jaw surgeon, obtained a license to practice in 1911 and opened a surgery office the following year in Berlin. He also served in the German army during the First World War. In 1938, he fled to the Netherlands following Kristallnacht and practiced there for 4 years. In 1942, he went into hiding alongside Anne Frank during World War II. Living in the cramped Secret Annex, their story reflects both the strain and resilience of life in hiding. Pfeffer later perished in the Neuengamme concentration camp in Northern Germany, a sobering reminder of lives lost and the importance of never forgetting. Pfeffer was given the pseudonym Alfred Dussel in The Diary of Anne Frank.

This Day in Tooth History:

Frederick S. McKay was born on April 13, 1874. He grew up and attended dental school in Massachusetts before moving to Colorado Springs, where he began his dental career.

Dr. McKay was astonished to find many local residents with severe brown stains on their teeth. In some cases, the discoloration was so pronounced that it appeared as though the teeth had been splattered with chocolate.

With the help of Dr. G.V. Black and years of research, they identified the condition known as Colorado Brown Stain (now called dental fluorosis). Interestingly, they also discovered that affected teeth were more resistant to decay, and the condition was linked to naturally occurring fluoride in the water supply.

In 1931, H. Trendley Dean determined that fluoride levels in drinking water up to 0.1 parts per million (ppm) did not produce fluorosis.

In 1944, Grand Rapids became the first city to introduce fluoride into its public water supply at controlled levels. After 15 years, the city reported a 60% reduction in dental decay.
