Volume 223 Issue 8, 27 October 2017

The Dentistry in Literature series: Dracula

For the cover series of this volume (223) of the BDJ, we have chosen to illustrate various instances where dentistry or teeth feature in literature. A wide range of sources have been considered — from well-known 'great works' to more obscure authors, older texts to modern novels and from mentions of dentists to descriptions of some very unusual teeth! No prizes for guessing that this particular issue features Dracula by Bram Stoker. The 1897 Gothic horror features perhaps the most famous teeth in all English literature.

'The Count smiled, and as his lips ran back over his gums, the long, sharp, canine teeth showed out strangely.'
