So, 'Drills, Dentures and Dentistry: An Oral History' dives into the fascinating evolution of dentistry, you know? It’s a documentary that follows Professor Joanna Bourke as she explores how this field shifted from something quite grim into a refined medical practice. The pacing is steady, almost like a slow unraveling of secrets—really draws you in. The atmosphere is both informative and surprisingly reflective. It doesn’t shy away from the grim aspects of early dentistry, but balances that with the growth of techniques and understanding. The practical effects aren’t really the focus here, but the archival footage and reenactments add a cool layer. Overall, it's a distinct take on an often-overlooked aspect of health history.
