Some Things You Probably Didn't Know About Teeth

Our Web site contains one of the largest collections of dental history and trivia anywhere. Visit the Dental Trivia area of our Web site to find out such weird facts as:

  • An early recipe for toothpaste. (It called for 1 1/2 ounces of dragon's blood.)

  • The true identify of the stern, pitchfork-wielding farmer in Grant Wood's classic painting American Gothic. (He was Wood's dentist.)

  • Who had the first known cavity. (It was found in the fossilized mouth of a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in Cretaceous period more than 63 million years ago.)
