F. Harold Wirth, DDS
May 5, 1907 - March 18, 1987

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.

 

 

On the day of his death, he told an audience at LSUSD attending a continuing education class that "there will always be free enterprise private practice for the caring dentist who constantly seeks excellence for his patients through the exercise of great care, skill and judgment. For those of you who are concerned, do not worry because people will seek you out."
