Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of 2017 "[Teeth is] . . . more than an exploration of a two-tiered system—it is a call for sweeping, radical change." —New York Times Book Review "Show me your teeth," the great naturalist Georges Cuvier is credited with saying, "and I will tell you who you are." In this shattering new work, veteran health journalist Mary Otto looks inside America's mouth, revealing unsettling truths about our unequal society. Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America's silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto's subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland's teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of "pearly whites"; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay. In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveals that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain. Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related. Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves—and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.

This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address on "Dental Specialties," Before the American Dental Association: Chicago, July 27, 1865 It gives me great pleasure to meet here the members of so honorable and useful a profession as yours. The profession of Dentistry is one of very modern origin, and is that branch of the medical profession which owes its development and perfection most essentially to our own country, and is, indeed, I think I may say, the one branch of the profession in which we Americans can claim especially the pre-eminence. To be an American dentist is a recommendation in all the principal cities of Europe, and although the medical profession in gen eral, and the surgical department especially, has an honorable position in the literature and among the profession in foreign countries, it can hardly be said to have a claim to the title of any pre-eminence.
