DENTAL CLINIC - ODONTOLOGY - CAVADENTI
"Il Cavadenti (The quack dentist) " (see details) (see related A) Pietro (Petro) Longhi (Falca) (known as Petro Falca) (1702-1785) Pinacoteca Brera , Milan, Lombardy, Italy
For millennia, toothaches pestered all human populations. Christians view Apollonia as the patron saint of toothaches sufferers - but dentists and their drills are feared by many, and their history is murky. Medical arts and Dental arts arose together and remain together in many countries upholding the traditions adopted by the Roman Empire. The artisans that crafted charming jewels in Egypt and Babylon, among other civilizations, were also experts in crafting mechanical supports for dentures or their replacements. I like the History of Dentistry by V. Guerini, 1909.
PS. Cavadenti - fascinating word! - Cava, as in cavern, also implying to dig - in teeth or denti, as dentists do.
