EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the traditional dental practices of the Kaseng people of Laos, captured around the 1910s. The Kaseng tribe, residing primarily in the Sanxai and Xaisettha districts of Attapu Province and the Dakchung and Lamam districts of Xekong Province, near the Vietnam border, have maintained their unique cultural traditions, including their distinctive dental filings. In this image, a Kaseng man undergoes the process of having his teeth filed. The dental procedure, an essential aspect of Kaseng oral health, is carried out using simple yet effective tools. A file, likely made from animal bone or a similar material, is used to carefully shape and sharpen the edges of the man's teeth. The purpose of this filing is twofold: not only does it improve the appearance of the teeth, but it also serves to strengthen them. The man's neck adorned with rings adds to the intrigue of this photograph, showcasing the richness of Kaseng culture. The rings, possibly made from animal bones or shells, are a common accessory among the tribe, symbolizing their identity and heritage. This historical photograph offers a unique window into the past, providing valuable insights into the dental practices and cultural traditions of the Kaseng people. The filing of teeth was an integral part of their daily lives, reflecting their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of limited access to modern dental care. This image serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating ways in which different communities have addressed their health needs throughout history.
