Web page honoring Dr. F. Harold Wirth

The Dental Library has compiled an archival web page in honor Dr. F. Harold Wirth, a former faculty member who’s influence is still felt in the Dental School more than 20 years after his death.

The late Dr. F. Harold Wirth, longtime professor at the LSU Dental School, was known around campus for his jovial manner and trademark greeting, “How’s your PMA?” That’s Positive Mental Attitude. He developed a comprehensive approach to dentistry and living that centered on balancing the key areas of work, play, love and worship. He believed that trust, the priceless ingredient in any relationship, is the natural result of sincerely caring about the patient. From trust comes quality which leads to excellence, career satisfaction, compensation and contentment.

Thanks to the hard work of Joe Plummer, Dental Library Associate, this page is still growing and more information will be added regularly so please continue to check it.
