Our teeth do not belong to the category of eternal values, and sooner or later you have to say goodbye to them. More precisely, early at first, and then late. And when babies lose their first milk tooth, adults usually cheer up the child with a fairy tale about the Tooth Fairy, who will come to his bed at night, take the lost tooth, and instead put a good gift under the pillow. Dentist Ian Davis (Ian Davis) from London created his "dental tale", but for adults.
Alas, it is no longer fairies who come to adults. Stern dentists come for their teeth, who do not leave any gifts to patients. These are "tooth demons". Sometimes they are angry, and then they forcefully pull their teeth out of their mouths. And sometimes they are kind, and then teeth are whitened, treated, cleaned, filled …
Over the years of work in dentistry, Ian Davis (Ian Davis) has seen enough of all, and since he is a man with a great sense of humor, from the cement, which is usually used to fill holes, and the mastic, which is used to make dental impressions for dentures, he created an army of tiny "dental demons ". And he made them go about their business … in the dummies of human teeth, which are always full in dentists' offices.
So, everyone who comes to an appointment with Dr. Davis can contemplate little people frozen in different poses. They clean and fill teeth, chop off tartar, polish enamel … A real exhibition that inspires both the doctor himself and his patients of different ages.
