In the late 18th and early 19th century American-trained dentists were perceived by the public to be superior to locally trained dentists in many parts of Europe. Some individuals traveled to the United States for training. Other dentists simply claimed falsely to have an American degree or received one through the mail from one of several dental school diploma mills operating in the United States.
在 18 世纪末和 19 世纪初，在美国接受培训的牙医在欧洲的许多地方被公众认为比在当地接受培训的牙医更优秀。一些人前往美国接受培训。其他牙医则只是虚假地声称自己拥有美国学位，或者通过美国几家牙科学校文凭工厂的邮寄方式获得学位。
