Textual and Graphic Materials
Works of cultural and scientific history, such as Philias Garant’s The Long Climb: From Barber-Surgeons to Doctors of Dental Surgery, provide essential context to an exhibit on the history of dentistry. This book, as well as the books listed in the bibliography (link here?), explain the cultural and practical significance of the works displayed in this exhibit.
These books are complemented by humorous cards and images that engage with stereotypes and other received ideas about the experience of dentistry, particularly from the point of view of the patient.
