This story was inspired by a post about early dentistry. In the British Library collections there are original advertising posters from London’s dentists in the early 19th century. For a long time human teeth were the best possible solution when making dentures, and after the battle of Waterloo so many young men with decent teeth were killed that the dentures market became flooded with new 'Waterloo Teeth'. Soon, any teeth harvested from battlefields became known as Waterloo Teeth.This is a grim tale about the macabre adventure of a young woman recruited by a dodgy but dashing surgeon to pull teeth after the battle of Waterloo.
