[The Son family: dentists, dental surgeons and dental technicians].

Abstract

In the Netherlands, there are several families that produced dentists, dental surgeons and dental technicians from generation to generation. The Son family is one of them: for no less than 7 generations, from the second half of the eighteenth century to 2013, members of this family worked in dentistry. Due to their Jewish background, the last generation fled from the Netherlands to Argentina after the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940. In Buenos Aires, Joost Maurice Son, who emigrated with his mother, trained as a dentist. And as it would later turn out, as the last of this family of dentists.
