Dentistry

In 1891, dentistry was a young profession, and this is reflected by the relative shortage of dentists in Powys at the time of the census. Although a professional body had been set up in 1858, it was not until the Dentists Act of 1878 that a register of persons entitled to practice dentistry was set up under the control of the General Medical Council, which also sought to supervise training and education. In spite of this there were still loopholes which enabled the unqualified to practice, and it was not until 1921 that this situation was finally remedied.
