Sir Auguste Charles Valadier (26 November 1873–31 August 1931) was a Franco-American dental surgeon who pioneered new techniques and equipment for treating maxillofacial injuries of soldiers during World War I.[1]
Valadier was born in Paris, France in 1873, the son of Charles Jean-Baptiste Valadier, a pharmacist. As a boy he was taken to live in the United States by his parents. He entered the Philadelphia Dental College as a student in about 1898, and qualified as Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 1901. He next took the State examinations which allowed him to practice in Pennsylvania and New York, practicing in the latter for five years.[2]
By 1910 Valadier's mother was widowed and wealthy and living in Paris, and on the death of her other son she persuaded Valadier to join her there. As he had no French dental qualifications, Valadier studied at the Ecole Odonto-Technique de Paris from November 1910 to June 1911, and received the certificate of Chirugien Dentiste from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris in July 1912, following which he was permitted to practice in France. In July 1913 he married Alice Wright, the granddaughter of Robert Clinton Wright, a former United States Minister in Brazil.[2]
On the outbreak of World War I in 1914 Valadier joined the British Red Cross Society (BRCS) in Paris who sent him to Abbeville. The History of the Great War (1922) records: "Dental surgeons commenced to arrive in France in early November and were allocated to clearing hospitals and to the bases. An eminent dentist, M. Valadier, a citizen of the United States, who had been sent from Paris to Abbeville by the BRCS, was also accepted for duty with the British troops on 29 October."[3]
