Did someone else use your ancestor's teeth?!

There is an interesting story on the BBC news site from 6 years ago about early dentistry, and how teeth from dead soldiers at Waterloo - as well as others - were extracted for the purpose of making dentures.

Not for the faint hearted, but you'll find the fascinating article at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33085031?fbclid=IwAR3TDvIKjoRjtuAZUC7P7t4LK7-nwNvd3dvA9GR9WMvLRgUDTM79CGNmN18
