EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DENTISTRY, 1920s" takes us back in time to witness a unique aspect of American daily life in the early 20th century. The image portrays an intimate scene inside an ordinary home, where dentistry was practiced by non-professionals due to poverty or limited access to dental care. The focal point of the photograph is a young girl, presumably the daughter, sitting on a chair with her mouth open wide. Her anxious expression reflects both anticipation and apprehension as her mother, wearing glasses, prepares for a tooth extraction. The tools used are simple yet effective: pliers held firmly by the determined mother's hand. The composition exudes authenticity and captures the essence of domestic dentistry during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of advancements in healthcare accessibility and technology. This image not only sheds light on the struggles faced by many families at that time but also highlights their resourcefulness and resilience in finding ways to address basic medical needs within their own homes. It invites contemplation about societal disparities and underscores the importance of progress made since then. "DENTISTRY, 1920s" is more than just a historical snapshot; it encapsulates an entire narrative within its frame - one that speaks volumes about human ingenuity amidst challenging circumstances.
