Gr 5-7-A carefully researched history of dentistry from 3000 B.C.E. to the present. In ancient times people believed that a toothache was caused by a toothworm; this and various magical and religious beliefs affected dental care until the beginning of the 18th century. The book's format is attractive, with wide margins; clear and informal language; and helpful black-and-white photographs, drawings, and historical reproductions. It is a special subject that may not be wildly popular; but once children see how a visit to the dentist used to be, they may actually appreciate the relatively less-painful experience that modern science and technology have made possible.-Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME (c) Copyright 2010.

This wide-range historical overview looks at dentistry from both a scientific and cultural perspective. Advances in oral hygiene, cavity filling, and extracting and replacing teeth are discussed, along with the superstitions employed by various cultures to avoid or treat toothache pain. Many intriguing details are included in the clear prose, which is illustrated with archival illustrations of dental tools and painful-looking therapies. Bib., glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 5^-8. Ichord has written an entertaining history of dentistry that is full of gruesome treatments, terrifying instruments, peculiar cures, and superstitions. The book's 12 chapters are devoted to such varied topics as the belief in the evil toothworm, early dentist-barbers and tooth-drawers, dental quackery, and tooth decoration. Because the chapter titles are exotic rather than descriptive, and the organization is a sometimes confusing hodgepodge of topics and historical periods, the book is better suited for browsing than as a research tool. With wise use of the index, however, report writers will find brief but helpful information to bolster reports and fill in studies of ancient cultures in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Source notes, glossary, bibliography. --Randy Meyer
