     M. MONTEFIORE BETTMAN, D. M. D.  As an operative dentist, Dr. M. 
Montefiore Bettman, of Portland, long ago demonstrated his masterly skill and 
for many years has commanded the patronage of the representative people of 
this city. He has been notably successful and is held in high regard by all 
who have come in contact with him. The Doctor was born in Eugene, Oregon, in 
1885, and is a son of Goodman and Bertha (Simon) Bettman, to whom further 
reference is made in the sketch of his brother, Dr. A. G. Bettman, elsewhere 
in this work.

     Dr. M. M. Bettman received his early education in the public schools and 
graduated from the Portland high school in 1902, after which he entered the 
North Pacific Dental College, at Portland, from which he was graduated, with 
the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine in 1905, and is a postgraduate of 
Columbia University School of Dentistry, New York city. He entered upon the 
practice of his profession at Harrington, Washington, where he remained two 
years, and then returned to Portland, where he has been actively engaged in 
practice to the present time with offices in the Mayer building. He 
specializes in the treatment of pyhorrea, and diseases of the gums in which he 
is regarded as an authority, and he has written a number of articles on the 
subject which have been published in the dental journals.

     In 1923 Dr. Bettman was united in marriage to Miss Frances Jackson, of 
New York. He is a member of the Masonic order, in which he has received the 
degrees of the Scottish Rite, and he is a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, the 
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Tualatin Country Club and a past 
president of Portland Lodge, No. 65, Independent Order B'nai B'rith. He is an 
active member of the Portland District Dental Society, the Oregon State Dental 
Society, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of 
Periodontology, of which he is a past vice president. Personally he is a man 
of sterling qualities and is one of the representative professional men of 
this community.
