🧛‍♀️ The Toothy Terror of the Dead: Vampire Burials in History 🧛‍♂️

As we close out our weird and wonderful journey through dental history, let’s dive into one of the creepiest customs ever recorded — the practice of burying people with bricks or stones shoved into their mouths to keep them from rising as vampires.

In 16th-century Venice and other parts of Europe, it wasn’t just superstition that made people fear the dead. If a person was found with bloody gums, teeth visible through the lips, or signs of disease around the mouth, the community believed they might come back from the grave to feed on the living.

To stop this horrifying fate, burial rituals included placing heavy objects like bricks, stones, or even metal bars inside the mouth or over the jaw to “seal” the vampire’s hunger. Some burials even featured iron padlocks or sicles placed across the collarbones — a chilling “extra security measure” to keep the deceased from ever breaking free of their graves.

Archaeologists have uncovered skeletons with these very items still lodged between their teeth or clasped over their chests — haunting evidence of just how far people went to stop the toothy dead from returning.

This macabre custom shows how deeply intertwined teeth and fear have been throughout history — from ancient tooth worms to vampire legends.

Thank you so much for tuning in every Friday to join us on this oddball adventure through dental history! It’s been a blast sharing the strange, the spooky, and the downright bizarre stories behind the teeth we take for granted today.

Here’s to healthy smiles — and maybe keeping an eye on your teeth this Halloween! 🎃🦷

🧙‍♀️ Witch Hunters’ Trophies: Teeth, Bottles, and the War Against Witches 🦷

Welcome back to Gnawledge of the Past!

During the 16th and 17th centuries, Europe was gripped by witchcraft hysteria. While accused “witches” faced brutal trials and executions, witch hunters and fearful villagers turned to equally strange measures to protect themselves from the supernatural forces they believed lurked among them.

One of the most curious defenses? Witch bottles. These odd little vessels were buried beneath hearths, doorways, or inside walls — filled with all sorts of unsettling ingredients: pins, nails (metal and cartilage alike), hair, urine… and yes, human teeth. The idea was that a witch who cursed you would become trapped or harmed when the bottle’s contents were heated or buried- a magical counterattack in ceramic form.

Some witch hunters and “cunning folk” also collected teeth, fingernails, or locks of hair from the accused or deceased, believing such items could either protect against evil spells or repel dark forces. Others nailed horseshoes above doors, burned herbs like rosemary and sage, or even drew protective chalk circles on the ground- all in a desperate attempt to keep witchcraft at bay.

To us, these rituals might seem bizarre, but in a world filled with fear and superstition, they offered a sense of control- a tangible way to fight the invisible.

🕯️ Next week marks the final post of the Gnawledge of the Past series - and we’re going out with an extra creepy one you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned... 🧛‍♂️

💀🩹 Victorian Toothache Remedies: When Band-Aids Were Basically Drugs 🩹💀

Welcome back to Gnawledge of the Past! We are getting down to our last couple weeks of this series, so be sure to tune in!

In the Victorian era, a toothache could ruin your entire day — and with few effective treatments available, people resorted to some seriously intense remedies. One popular “fix” was a toothache band-aid soaked in a potent mix of morphine and chloroform.

These tiny patches were designed to be pressed directly onto the painful tooth or gum, delivering powerful painkillers right where they were needed. Morphine acted as a strong pain reliever, while chloroform provided a numbing effect — essentially a crude form of local anesthesia, long before modern dentistry perfected safe and precise techniques.

But this was far from risk-free. Without today's knowledge about dosing or side effects, these band-aids sometimes caused dizziness, fainting, or even poisoning. People who used them frequently could become dangerously sedated or develop dependency on the substances.

This strange chapter of dental history reminds us how desperate people were to escape tooth pain — and how far dentistry has come in providing safe, effective relief.

Thanks for following our journey through the weird, wild, and sometimes frightening history of dentistry! Stay tuned for more fascinating facts and stories every week.

🦴 What does bone grafting look like?

Take a look at this X-ray!
That spot you see inside the red circle is bone graft material placed during a sinus lift procedure. The bright white post is the implant we placed!

When a patient doesn’t have enough bone to support a dental implant- often in the upper jaw where the sinus cavity sits close- we can gently lift the sinus membrane and add bone graft material. Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong foundation for an implant.

It’s a fascinating process where science and healing work hand-in-hand — turning an area with insufficient bone into a healthy, stable site ready for restoration!
