Early life

Minnie Evangeline Jordon was born in Fulton County, Illinois, the daughter of Eugene B.

She went on to graduate from the University of California's dental program in 1898.^[2] While she was in dental school, she ran an oral health clinic at an orphanage in San Francisco.^[3]

Career

Jordon taught elementary school and worked as a dental assistant while she was training to be a dentist in Berkeley, then opened her own dental practice in Los Angeles. At first she had a general practice; in time, she restricted her practice to pediatric patients, considered a first in the profession.^[3] As a "pioneer in pedodontics" she published the first textbook on the subject in 1925, titled Operative Dentistry for Children.^[4]^[5]^[6] In 1916 she gave a lecture to the Los Angeles County Nurses' Association on "The Relation of the Teeth to the Development of the Child".^[7] She presented a paper, "Relation of Food to the Developing Teeth", at the 1921 meeting of the California State Dental Association, recommending fewer sweets and more milk, coarse grains, eggs, and vegetables in children's diets.^[8]^[9]

She was an associate professor of dentistry at the University of Southern California, and an officer in the Southern California Dental Association. She was a founder and first president of the Federation of American Women Dentists and a founder of the American Society of Dentistry for Children.^[5]
