Sir '''Auguste Charles Valadier''' (26 November 1873–31 August 1931) was a Franco-American dental surgeon who pioneered new techniques and equipment for treating [[Oral and maxillofacial surgery|maxillofacial]] injuries of soldiers during [[World War I]].<ref>Cruse, William P.

Valadier was born in Paris, France in 1873, the son of Marie-Antoinette and Charles Jean-Baptiste Valadier, a pharmacist. As a boy he and his two younger brothers were taken to live in the United States by his parents.<ref>Fitzharris, Lindsey. ''The Facemaker'', Allen Lane, (2022), pg 39</ref> 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.<ref name=Sage>McAuley, J. E.

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
