Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Folklore of the Teeth' is an expansive and scholarly exploration of the myths, legends, and cultural traditions surrounding human dentition across different civilizations and eras. Leo Kanner provides a detailed account of how various societies have interpreted the biological reality of teeth throu…gh the lens of superstition, religion, and folk medicine.The work delves into a wide array of fascinating topics, including the legendary 'tooth worm' believed to cause decay, the diverse rituals associated with the loss of primary teeth, and the myriad of folk remedies used to alleviate toothaches before the rise of modern dental science. Kanner catalogs global customs ranging from tooth decoration and mutilation to the symbolic significance of the first tooth. By examining the intersection of dentistry and folklore, the book reveals the deep-seated human anxieties and creative solutions surrounding oral health.This text serves as a vital resource for anthropologists, medical historians, and anyone interested in the social history of medicine.
