DENTAL MISHAPS
The Itinerate Teeth Drawer
Bloodletting, Bonesetting & Corn Cutting
1785 - With the mighty force of the gripping claw (Clavis Anglica), one brisk
turn of the dental key handle over the crown was sufficient in breaking the offending
tooth from its socket.
Not all extractions went as planned, some were fraught with unpleasant mishaps,
specifically the fracture of the skull and the quantity of Gums and mouth flesh torn
away by the claw and dirty fingers.
Bone fragments resulting from such accidents had to be removed, typically by
cutting a large incision into the Gum for access; resulting in the painful and
bloody removal of major sections of the upper and lower jaw bones as well
as perfectly sound teeth.
The placard is mounted on vintage blue-black velvet and framed in a beautiful
vintage gold wooden frame with light maroon velvet trim.
This is a left maxilla, with a portion of the volmer and zygomatic bone (the piece jutting out is the cheek bone)
of a real human skull that has been hand-sewn onto the velvet.
It is signed and dated on the back and is ready to hang in your own
personal dime museum or sideshow.
