In 2011, the tooth sold for $36,857 and was purchased by Canadian dentist Dr. Michael Zuk. It had been kept for decades by the family of Lennon's former housekeeper, Dot Jarlett, after Lennon reportedly gave it to her following its removal.

The unusual item has since become one of the most famous pieces of Beatles memorabilia, highlighting the remarkable value collectors place on music history.

Before modern local anesthesia became reliable, dentistry demanded a certain… creativity. In the early 20th century, some dentists tried to distract patients from pain with live music, performers, comedy, or even a small glass of whiskey before treatment. One particularly famous dentist, Dr. Edgar “Painless” Parker, turned dentistry into something between vaudeville and medicine.
And yes — co***ne was once used in dentistry.
Not recreationally, but medically. Co***ne was actually one of the first local anesthetics used by physicians and dentists in the late 1800s before safer alternatives were developed. Thankfully, modern dentistry has evolved quite a bit since then. 😊
Today, comfort comes from:
✔️ profound local anesthesia
✔️ advanced technology
✔️ gentle techniques
✔️ patient communication
✔️ and sometimes a little calming music instead of a brass band
As fascinating as dental history can be, we can all agree:
we prefer our dentistry without showgirls and co***ne. 😄
Modern dentistry should feel safe, compassionate, precise — and ideally a lot less theatrical.

Archaeologists in Scotland have discovered a rare 500-year-old gold dental bridge in the skull of a middle-aged man buried between 1460–1670 CE.

Researchers found a gold ligature attached to the lower front teeth, likely used to replace a missing incisor centuries before modern dentistry officially existed.

The procedure was probably performed by a jeweller, barber, or early tooth practitioner rather than a trained dentist. Scientists believe the man was relatively wealthy, as gold dental work would have been extremely expensive during that period.

The discovery suggests cosmetic and restorative dentistry existed long before the rise of professional dental medicine. Researchers also say the treatment may have been linked not only to oral function, but also to appearance, social status, and reputation in medieval society.

Coconut oil pulling is a traditional oral practice where a tablespoon of coconut oil is swished in the mouth for about 15 to 20 minutes before being spat out. It has gained attention for its potential role in supporting oral hygiene.
The key component is lauric acid, a fatty acid with natural antimicrobial effects. Preliminary studies suggest it may help reduce certain bacteria linked to plaque formation and early gum inflammation, with some participants showing improved gingival and plaque indicators.
However, research remains limited and based on small-scale studies, so it cannot replace standard dental care. Experts continue to recommend brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and regular dental check-ups as the foundation of oral health.
