Charles Cassidy Bass (January 29, 1875 – August 25 1975)[2] was an American medical doctor and researcher on tropical medicine who made significant contributions to understanding malaria, hookworm, and other diseases.[3] Later Bass studied the relationship between dental health and general well-being. Bass articulated and promoted the "Bass Technique of Toothbrushing" and developed improved means of flossing teeth, for which some refer to Bass as "The Father of Preventive Dentistry".[4] He subsequently became a university administrator, serving as dean of the Tulane University School of Medicine, from 1922 to 1940.[5]
