Why Can't I get a Dentist Appointment?'- The Politics of Teeth

If Descartes separated our minds from our bodies, somewhere along the way our teeth became detached too, requiring their own specialist medical knowledge. With dental care in crises, Kirsty’s presentation gets to the root of the issue by extracting from her Masters research and exploring the political and economic history of dentistry. Offering a Marxist analysis, this discussion explores oral health inequalities, the creation of the dentist and how the profession shaped the NHS.
