The History of Dentistry and Dental Technology
Info
TOURDATA
Rathausgasse 8, 4020 Linz
The Museum of Dentistry aims to provide visitors with an overview of the development of dentistry from around 1700 to the present day. The oldest exhibits, a dental key and a so-called "barber chair," date back to this period; it is called a barber chair because, at that time, the practice of medicine was primarily carried out by barber-surgeons. However, there were also specialists. They were referred to as tooth breakers, based on the only known method at the time for removing a painful tooth. Among the numerous exhibits, there is also an image of Saint Apollonia, the patron saint of dentists. She was to renounce her faith or be burned at the stake. When she refused, her teeth were broken, and as she chose martyrdom in the flames of the pyre, she is said to have proclaimed that all those who suffer from toothaches and ask for her help would be relieved of their pain.
