Book Description

Excerpt from American Journal of Dental Science, Vol. 29: Baltimore, May, 1895 Not many weeks ago a patient came to me with neuralgia, which had continuously destroyed her rest for nearly three weeks previously. She had all this time been under the care of one of those kind of dentists, had a num ber of fillings inserted, such as they were, and one good tooth extracted from the left side of the mouth, hoping thereby to relieve the pain in the nerves of the face on the right side. How is that for science I found an exposed and badly inflamed pulp in a bicuspid on the right side, each side of which the operator had inserted fillings, care fully avoiding this tooth. Telling the patient it was a dead tooth. I saved the tooth and made it useful, but sacrificed the pulp. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
