EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a moment in dental history, as we witness a patient undergoing dental work in the year 1917. Taken by renowned American photographer Lewis Wickes Hine, this silver print showcases his talent for documentary photography. The image portrays a scene from an old-fashioned dentist's office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the photograph, we see three individuals present: the patient reclining on a chair with their mouth open wide, enduring what appears to be a painful procedure. A dentist and a dental assistant are diligently attending to the patient's needs. The room is filled with antiquated equipment such as drills and spittoons, reminding us of dentistry practices from that era. Hine's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. We can almost feel the tension and discomfort experienced by the patient while appreciating the dedication of those providing care. This photograph serves as both an artistic piece and an important document of early 20th-century dentistry. As we gaze upon this image, it reminds us of how far dentistry has come since then - advancements in technology have made procedures more efficient and less painful for patients today. Yet it also highlights our appreciation for those who paved the way through their commitment to improving oral health care throughout history.
