Description: | This wooden dentist chair is believed to have come from the Old Newcastle Infirmary. The seat and head rest are adjustable allowing both adults and children to be operated on. In the mid 1800s the practice of dentistry was unregulated. There was no organised training and those practicing dentistry had varying levels of knowledge and skills. A skilled surgeon would have used this chair. Only the wealthy would be able to afford such a surgeon. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East buildings and views Newcastle health | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
