Sheridan C. Waite, DDS, was a dentist from Buffalo, New York, who received a degree in oral surgery from Northwestern University Dental School in the 1920s. He served in an all-dentist Army unit during World War I and traveled through Europe in the 1920s and ‘30s to promote the use of cocaine as a dental anesthetic, a technique his father, R. B. Waite, had pioneered in the 1890s.
