Dental student Paula Vetti with pig head
Description
Dental student Paula Vetti with pig head and dental tool; Back: typed on "NEWS from PASADENA City College" letterhead and taped to the back of the photograph: "THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO THE DENTIST--When the American Dental Hygienists' Association paid its annual accreditation visit to Pasadena City College, the suggestion was made that hygiene students needed lab experience in soft tissue curettage, a gum treatment procedure used for those who have periodontal disease. Prior to working on a human patient, student Paula Vetti practices her technique on the tissue around pigs teeth because pig gums are very similar to those of man. In addition to hygiene, Pasadena City College offers courses in dental assisting and dental technology."
