The Mouth and The Teeth - 1880

April 2024 "The Mouth and the Teeth" was a book on dentistry published by James William White in 1879, not 1880[1][2][3][4]. It was part of the American Health Primers series[2].The book provided a general overview of the mouth and teeth, including their development, structure, and diseases from infancy to old age[1]. It also included observations on the physiognomy of the teeth and projecting chin[1].White's work was an important contribution to the field of dentistry in the late 19th century. It helped educate the general public and medical professionals about oral health and dental care.Citations:[1] http://files.hsls.pitt.edu/files/rarebooks/dentistry.html [2] https://www.abebooks.com/collections/sc/dental-history/5VZzApK5Bhth4hZDtn6tnT?rec=true&sort=popular [3] https://dental.nyu.edu/aboutus/rare-book-collection/19-c.html [4] https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/browse?c=x&key=Dentistry+--+Early+works+to+1800&type=lcsubc [5] https://explore.library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections-explore/471324 Source: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-is-the-8Wp0ms8pTDOwCTJsazg9qg Voice Note TranscriptionI love this book called The Mouth and the Teeth by an author named Smith, a dentist from Philadelphia in 1880.My favorite parts are page 7, where we can see the Greek goddess of health, Hygieia. Page 11where we have a schematic of the mouth and teeth and nasal passage tongue and so forth it's a great diagram i love it and then beyond that page 41, which is a little scary it's. It's a kid of six years old showing their two sets of teeth. And then the last one that I found of interest was page 50, which was the nerves related to the teeth. Anyway, it's a nice little exhibit, and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks.
