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.
