Oral health is integral to wellbeing and quality of life. This important edited volume brings together leading scholars to address global oral health and the multiple ways in which theory, practice and discourse have shaped it in the modern period.Structured around key themes, the book chapters draw on interdisciplinary perspectives in order to consider the role of the dental profession, the commercial sector, charities, the state, the media and patients in shaping oral health in the past and present. Collectively, the chapters consider the extent to which each of the studied groups and actors have sought to own and control the mouth. By adopting multiple perspectives, the book highlights the importance of cross-disciplinary work across the sciences, social sciences and humanities and provides a road map for a new interdisciplinary field focused on oral health and society.Drawing on perspectives from dentistry, sociology, history and the wider humanities, this book will interest students and researchers of dentistry, public health, sociology of health and illness, the medical humanities and history.

By the late nineteenth century, advances in medical knowledge, technology and pharmaceuticals led to the development of a thriving commercial industry. The medical trade catalogue became one of the most important means of promoting the latest tools and techniques to practitioners. Drawing on over 400 catalogues produced between 1870 and 1914, Jones presents a study of the changing nature of medical professionalism. She examines the use of the catalogue in connecting the previously separate worlds of medicine and commerce and discusses its importance to the study of print history more widely.

Offering historical primary sources that outline both medical and experiential perspectives of physical disability, this book provides frequently mentioned but rarely provided material and supports readers in making sense of the material themselves to develop students’ historical sensibilities, as well as their critical thinking, critical reading skills and their ability to perform historical document analysis. Throughout the nineteenth century, Britain witnessed a remarkable transformation in the ways in which individuals with physical impairments experienced the world and the ways in which they were perceived, treated, and represented. The rise of industrialisation in the nineteenth century created new types of physical disability and deformity through accidents and injuries. Moreover, new medical interventions conducted in increasing numbers of hospitals, particularly in the growing specialisms of orthopaedics and teratology (birth defects), sought to fix acute and formerly fatal physical conditions, creating new surgical pioneers including William Little, Hugh Owen Thomas, Robert Jones and Frederick Treves. Focusing on British sources, but including the growing international network of medical professionals, prosthesis supplier, freak show entertainers and the development of new surgical techniques and assistive technologies during and following the American Civil War (1861-5), this book provides primary sources showing the impact of Victorian and Edwardian forms of medicalisation, institutionalisation, and commercialisation on the experiences of those with physical disabilities and deformities up to 1914, when the First World War radically altered the meanings, experiences and representations of the physically disabled once again. The volume is divided into three overlapping parts, allowing for a comprehensive but structured view of conceptions, experiences and representations of physical disability and deformity across the long nineteenth century. Each part will incorporate a variety of source material, ranging from medical accounts, personal testimony, literary representation, advertisements, ephemera, and images.

This book explores the development of modern transatlantic prosthetic industries in nineteenth and twentieth centuries and reveals how the co-alignment of medicine, industrial capitalism, and social norms shaped diverse lived experiences of prosthetic technologies and in turn, disability identities. Through case studies that focus on hearing aids, artificial tympanums, amplified telephones, artificial limbs, wigs and dentures, this book provides a new account of the historic relationship between prostheses, disability and industry. Essays draw on neglected source material, including patent records, trade literature and artefacts, to uncover the historic processes of commodification surrounding different prostheses and the involvement of neglected companies, philanthropists, medical practitioners, veterans, businessmen, wives, mothers and others in these processes.

The business of birth control is the first book-length study to examine contraceptives as commodities in Britain before the pill. Drawing on new archives and neglected promotional and commercial material, the book demonstrates how hundreds of companies transformed condoms and rubber and chemical pessaries into consumer goods that became widely available via discreet mail order catalogues, newspapers, birth control clinics, chemists’ shops and vending machines in an era when older and more reserved ways of thinking about sex jostled uncomfortably with modern and more open attitudes. The book outlines the impact of contraceptive commodification on consumers, but also demonstrates how closely the contraceptive industry was intertwined with the medical profession and the birth control movement, who sought authority in birth control knowledge at a time when sexual knowledge and who had access to it was contested.
