[Aztlan] Mesoamerican dental practices

[Diehl, Richard]

Hola Listeros,

The "Frolicking People" section of the Tepantitla murals at Teotihuacan
show someone doing what appears to be dental work of some sort on a
patient. It can be seen by searching the topic Tepantitla on Flickr for
the photo "Dentista" by Daquella Manera. Miguel Covarrubias created a
marvelous caricature of it using his friend (and dentist?) Samuel
Fastlicht as the perpetrator and himself as the patient. Enjoy!
