Abstract
Demonstrable feats of strength and valor using the teeth are found throughout many aspects of newsworthy items and social encounters in history past. Likewise, promotional opportunities relative to the dentition were also common. This article addresses many of these sensationalistic scenarios that were found on postcards related to dentistry in the early 1900s.
