EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the past, depicting an early dental intervention in all its historical glory. The image transports us to a time when dental hygiene was far from advanced, as we witness a patient being tied to a chair while enduring the extraction of a tooth. This intriguing engraving by Aert van Waes, dating back to the 17th century, offers us a glimpse into the world of dentistry during that era. The unhygienic nature of this operation is evident as we observe the dentist and his assistant diligently working together. With steady hands and focused expressions, they navigate through this delicate procedure with limited tools at their disposal. The dentist pulls on the tooth while his assistant provides support throughout. As we delve deeper into this archival piece, it becomes apparent that dental care has come a long way since then. We are reminded of how fortunate we are to have access to modern advancements in dentistry today. This print serves as both an educational tool and an appreciation for our current state of oral health practices. With its rich historical context and detailed illustration, this print is sure to captivate anyone interested in exploring the evolution of medical interventions throughout history.
