Everett Norman Cobb Dentist, Professor
Everett Norman Cobb, 79, who practiced dentistry in Washington [DC]
for more than 40 years and taught at Georgetown University's dental
school, died February 12 [2008] of cancer at Sibley Memorial Hospital.
He lived in Bethesda [Maryland].
Dr. Cobb was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island [and Providence
Plantations], and graduated from Providence (Rhode Island) College. He
received a master's degree in microbiology from Boston College in
1951, then served in the Air Force as a microbiologist at Fort Detrick
[Maryland] in Frederick County [Maryland] until 1954.
After graduating from Georgetown's dental school in 1958, Dr. Cobb had
a private practice in Washington until his retirement in 2000. His
office was in Georgetown from 1960 to 1980 and later in the Spring
Valley section of Washington [DC] and, from 1990 to 2000, in
Friendship Heights. His son, Andrew C. Cobb, joined his practice in
1984.
Dr. Cobb was a faculty member at Georgetown's School of Dentistry from
1958 until the school closed in 1990. He was chairman of the
department of dental materials sciences from 1979 to 1990 and held a
joint appointment in the operative dentistry department.
He received many teaching awards from Georgetown and served on the
university's rank and tenure committee. He taught virtually every
Georgetown University dental school graduate still practicing, said
his son, who studied under his father.
From 1978 to 1990, Dr. Cobb was a guest investigator in dental
materials at the National Bureau of Standards, where his research
helped lead to the development of new dental adhesives.
His professional affiliations included the Omicron Kappa Upsilon
dental honor society, American College of Dentists, American Dental
Association, D.C. Dental Society, International Association of Dental
Research and Academy of Operative Dentistry.
Survivors include his wife of 51 years, Mary Ann Cobb of Bethesda;
three children, Everett G. Cobb of Columbia [Maryland] and Andrew C.
Cobb and Missy K. Cooper, both of Bethesda; two sisters; and seven
grandchildren.
