Ever wonder what people used to think of the dentist?
The new book Open Wide! A Series of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Caricatures on Dentistry collects old-time dentistry-related cartoons.
Here's what the publisher has to say:
“The caricatures you will find illustrated within reflect life in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Brutal, painful and usually short; but leavened with a large dose of that peculiarly Georgian style of humour, which was gloriously grotesque and bawdy. Today dentistry prints are notoriously rare and expensive and are eagerly sought after. As far as we are aware, a volume of cartoons dedicated to the profession of dentistry has never been published before.”

Rajkumar Rao dentist qualified from King’s College London
University in 1987. He built up a very large multiclinic group of dental
offices in the UK which he sold in 2001. He and his young family then
decided to enjoy the wonders of the Costa Del Sol in Spain. We set up a
small clinic dedicated to advanced dental procedures and aesthetics. It
is part of our home and we pride ourselves on being one of the most
technologically advanced and yet welcoming small dental clinics here in
the Costa del Sol. Visit his site at http://www.dentistalhaurin.com
