Mount Sinai Dental Clinic

Mount Sinai Dental Clinic

The Mount Sinai Department of Dentistry has consistently been at the forefront of advances in hospital dentistry. Our dentists were among the first in the U.S. to use procaine as a local anesthetic, signaling the beginning of a medical approach to pain control and the widespread use of local anesthetics within the specialty. Beginning in 1946, the department was largely focused on the advancement of hospital dentistry, and care was expanded to patients with severe comorbidities such as hemophilia, cardiac disease, and pregnancy. In addition, the department’s focus on prevention of dental-related infections resulted in the publication of one of the first clinical research papers on the use of penicillin in dentistry.
