Dollhouse Dental Cabinet

Recommended Posts

I recently visited the National Museum of Dentistry in Baltimore, Maryland. There was a cabinet for dental tools that is meant to look like a dollhouse! They were produced in the 1930's as a way to make dental offices more welcoming to children. This one was in use from the early 1930's until the early 1950's. I had never heard of these before!

Such interesting information - what really would have helped with dental phobia is if the sound of that drill could have been chirping birds or a pleasant waterfall, etc.  My friend use to pass out in the chair as soon as she heard it come on and she was an adult. LOL

But it would be so disappointing to see what looks like a glorious dollhouse only to find it filled with scrapers and pokey things. And no rooms - just drawers. AaAaaaarrrrghhhh!

 

But interesting. Nice find and thank you for sharing.
