Dentist - Treating them like children 1922 Tie

Colourized photo from 1922 Original Title: East Harlem health centre Location: East Harlem, NY This is the East Harlem health centre dental clinic for expectant mothers and pre-school age children. A place to make sure their teeth are strong and healthy. This is an important stage for a child, they will learn to fear the dentist, and never look at pointy objects the same way again. To avoid going back, make sure you brush and floss every day. On the right a nurse treats a young boy, and he gets to sit on a portable field chair. A simple compact device that fits into a box when done. How fun is that? Dentists must have had it tough setting up a practice, many didn't have lights, and they heavily relied on sunlight to light mouths. So chairs had to face windows, and windows had to be in the path of the sun, and it had to be sunny.
