The excruciating history of dentistry
It wasn't as interesting as, "Blood & Guts: A History of Surgery" by Richard Hollingham. Hollingham knows more on how to entertain his reader. He knows how to transition between case studies while guiding the reader enough to understand his overall point. Wynbrandt is more concerned with only informing his readers of what he knows. Still, the cases studies are excruciating enough to send a vibe to the reader. It's hard to make dentistry or surgery boring.
