Oral Histories ~
A Pictorial History of Dentistry told through the BDA Museum Collections
Where does the word "dentist" come from?
How has dentistry changed over time?
What did the earliest dental tools look like?
The British Dental Association Museum has produced a CD-ROM Oral Histories, which tells the story of how dentistry developed in Great Britain, and is illustrated with over 150 images from the BDA Museum image library.
The images in Oral Histories record changes in dental treatments from early market-place extractions, to the complex technological procedures available today, and include the personalities and inventions who made these changes possible.
Oral Histories is divided into 5 sections. Each is dedicated to an important period in British dental history, and includes the providers of dental treatment and their patients, and the tools of the trade as illustrated through photographs, drawings, paintings, prints and advertisements held in the BDA Museum collections.
Oral Histories can be purchased online at the BDA Shop (www.bdashop.com), by e-mail ([log in to unmask]) or by telephone (020 7563 4555).
