Dr. Burkholder

Dr. Burkholder traveled to Western Europe, finding a job in the Northern Swiss town of Schaffhausen. Along with his many travels through Western Europe and the Mediterranean, he worked within the entire “Canton” of Schaffhausen for 2 years, traveling from village to village, working on school age children ages 4 to 17. Either working in the Clinic Wagon, or within the school house clinics, Dr. Burkholder’s goal was to eradicate dental decay within his areas of responsibility through comprehensive care and a strong preventive program. These children were well prepared for an adult life of excellent dental health, along with a positive attitude towards dentistry.
