Excerpt from The Dentist: A Popular Treatise on the Care of the Teeth When we consider the vastly greater value of health, is it not strangely inconsistent that it is not made as much a subject of study as mathematics or music? What an immensely greater proportion of time, thought, care, is given to dress, than to health. Such folly is only equalled by charging the Lord with our ailments, which charge is an insult to. Common-sense, and a reproach to our Maker. When we say that sometimes circumstances for the time being are beyond our control; and that there may be a special interposition of Providence in any given case; we have said all we are war ranted in saying, and perhaps more than we know of either proposition. Let it be clearly understood, then, that we start Out with the conviction that the evils to which the teeth are subject are as much within our control as any other human affairs.

An NPR Best Book of 2017 "[Teeth is] . . . more than an exploration of a two-tiered system—it is a call for sweeping, radical change." —New York Times Book Review "Show me your teeth," the great naturalist Georges Cuvier is credited with saying, "and I will tell you who you are." In this shattering new work, veteran health journalist Mary Otto looks inside America's mouth, revealing unsettling truths about our unequal society. Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America's silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto's subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland's teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of "pearly whites"; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay. In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveals that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain. Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related. Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves—and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.

A Treatise on Dentistry, and on the Care and Preservation of the Teeth by Samuel Fowell is a book on dentistry intended for the general reader on dental hygiene (as opposed to the clinician). Fowell establishes at the beginning of this book that his goal is to make the ideas behind and the principles of dentistry approachable to the common man. He combines his passionate pleas for regular dental care with detailed and interested charts and images to help bring about a greater understanding of the practice of dentistry in the general reader. The layman should regard this book as a comprehensive analysis of all things 'teeth'. The book begins with general comments on teeth and goes on to discuss temporary teeth or the shedding of teeth (losing them as children so that the adult teeth come in). The next section of the work discusses permanent teeth (those that replace the baby teeth and remain in our mouths for the rest of our lives) and irregularities often found in permanent teeth such as protrusions, recessions, torsion, and crowding. Finally, the book explores diseases of the teeth such as odontaliga, toothache, alvelora, abscess, necrosis (the death of a tooth) and scurvy gums. Fowell closes the text with general remarks on tooth care, extraction, and the use of artificial teeth as a replacement for natural teeth. A Treatise on Dentistry, and on the Care and Preservation of the Teeth is an interesting exploration of everything related to teeth. The comprehensive and approachable nature of this work makes it instantly accessible for even the most general audience. No prior knowledge of the subject matter is necessary to understand and enjoy this book, but it is also an intriguing read for those who are interested in dentistry, health, and a historic look at the dental profession.
