These Bite! What Our Teeth Are and What We Have Done To Them
Join Surgeons Hall Museums Human Remains Conservator Cat Irving for this course of two workshops exploring human teeth.
About These Bite! What Our Teeth Are and What We Have Done To Them
Our teeth can cause us a lot of problems, as anyone who has ever suffered toothache can testify.
This two-week course by Human Remains Conservator Cat Irving aims to give a greater understanding of our mouths, using the museum’s collections. Beginning with the anatomy of the tooth, it will explore why our teeth can cause us so much pain, and look at the development of dentistry to deal with this. Why was fluoride added to water? When did people start using toothpaste? Who is the tooth fairy? And what were “Waterloo Teeth”?
No prior knowledge required!
