A Mouthful of History: The Museum of Dentistry

September 18 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

$10 – $15 | Register

On September 18, join us at the Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry to discover the past, present, and future of dentistry! 

Located on the site of the University of Maryland’s first “Dental Infirmary and Laboratory Building,” and housed in the University’s second Dental School building erected in 1903, the National Museum of Dentistry is located at the heart of the University System of Maryland’s founding campus in Baltimore and at the epicenter of the beginnings of professional dentistry.

The museum has an extensive 40,000 object collection of dental instruments and equipment, including George Washington’s dentures, Queen Victoria’s dental instruments, and the world’s only tooth jukebox!  It is one of the largest and oldest collections in the world related to dentistry. If you are curious about the often-overlooked history hidden behind your smile and the scientists, tradesmen, and professionals that have shaped the field throughout history, join us on this exclusive after-hours tour!
