EDITORS COMMENTS
Dental Room, Woolwich School treatment centre, London, 1914. This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of dental care. In this early 20th-century image, we witness a dentist in action as he delicately extracts teeth while an attentive anaesthetist and nurse stand by to provide support. The scene is set within the well-equipped Dental Room of Woolwich School treatment centre, showcasing the advancements made in dental technology during this era. The dentist's chair takes center stage, surrounded by essential apparatus such as sinks for both general use and mouthwash. Various dental equipment can be seen neatly arranged nearby. This remarkable snapshot not only provides insight into the medical profession but also reflects the importance placed on oral health education at that time. It serves as a testament to London's commitment to public health initiatives through institutions like the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council. While it remains unknown who specifically captured this powerful image or who these individuals are, their dedication to their respective roles is evident. Both men and women played crucial parts in dentistry during this period, exemplifying how professions were becoming more inclusive. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection from Heritage Images, this historical print offers us a glimpse into an era when science merged with compassion to improve people's lives.
