turies that technologies were
discovered at the service of
dental medicine.
Given that teeth are a pro-
blem that affect every social
class, there are many adver-
tisements encouraging good
dental hygiene and thus the
prevention of decay. Stamp
collecting is a particularly po-
pular and easy way to get the
message across, and there
are several philatelic items
devoted to dentistry. Whether
you want to promote a dentist
or promote good dental hygie-
ne, you will find many stamps,
cancellations, pictorial can-
cellations, and maxicards on
the subject.
In this article, we feature a
sample of documents but if
you are interested in the topic,
please do visit our website
