Traces the evolution of dentistry in Europe and the United States through storytelling, historic texts, and images, many of which are from the Wellcome Collection. This beautifully designed book provides an engaging account of both the social and cultural aspects of dental care and the more clinical side, such as an overview of various dental tools and the use of anesthesia in dentistry. Extensive resource lists at the end of the book, including references for all images, makes it ideal for teaching and learning about the history of oral health care.
