During the 19th century, dentistry was changing from a craft that was usually transmitted by a preceptor to a science that was taught in established schools. The first dental school, established in 1827 in Bainbridge, Ohio, was soon followed by a large number of proprietary and freestanding schools of dentistry. However, no matter what the status of the dental school, none would admit women. In contrast, the first woman to be admitted to a medical college graduated in 1849. The Ohio College of Dental Surgery was the first dental school to open its doors to a woman and granted a degree to Lucy Beaman Hobbs Taylor in 1866. Although the number of women to graduate from dental school increased, the number was small compared to the increase in male graduates. By 1893, about 200 women had graduated with degrees in dentistry, including a number who came from outside the United States.
在19世纪，牙科正从一门通常由导师传授的手艺转变为一门在正规学校教授的科学。1827年在俄亥俄州班布里奇成立的第一所牙科学院，很快就有大量私立和独立的牙科学院相继成立。然而，无论牙科学院的地位如何，都不会招收女性。相比之下，第一位被医学院录取的女性于1849年毕业。俄亥俄牙科学院是第一所向女性敞开大门的牙科学院，并于1866年授予露西·比曼·霍布斯·泰勒学位。尽管从牙科学院毕业的女性人数有所增加，但与男性毕业生的增加相比，这个数字仍然很小。到1893年，大约有200名女性获得了牙科专业学位，其中包括一些来自美国以外的人。
