Book excerpt: A Treatise on Dentistry, and on the Care and Preservation of the Teeth by Samuel Fowell is a book on dentistry intended for the general reader on dental hygiene (as opposed to the clinician). Fowell establishes at the beginning of this book that his goal is to make the ideas behind and the principles of dentistry approachable to the common man. He combines his passionate pleas for regular dental care with detailed and interested charts and images to help bring about a greater understanding of the practice of dentistry in the general reader. The layman should regard this book as a comprehensive analysis of all things 'teeth'. The book begins with general comments on teeth and goes on to discuss temporary teeth or the shedding of teeth (losing them as children so that the adult teeth come in). The next section of the work discusses permanent teeth (those that replace the baby teeth and remain in our mouths for the rest of our lives) and irregularities often found in permanent teeth such as protrusions, recessions, torsion, and crowding. Finally, the book explores diseases of the teeth such as odontaliga, toothache, alvelora, abscess, necrosis (the death of a tooth) and scurvy gums. Fowell closes the text with general remarks on tooth care, extraction, and the use of artificial teeth as a replacement for natural teeth. A Treatise on Dentistry, and on the Care and Preservation of the Teeth is an interesting exploration of everything related to teeth. The comprehensive and approachable nature of this work makes it instantly accessible for even the most general audience. No prior knowledge of the subject matter is necessary to understand and enjoy this book, but it is also an intriguing read for those who are interested in dentistry, health, and a historic look at the dental profession.
