Abstract
The discovery of two unaccredited photographs purported to be of Painless Parker occasions a discussion of the notorious "outlaw" dentist's historical significance. It is argued that social media threaten to have performance eclipse clinical skills in dentistry - a process that can be sourced to Parker's vaudevillian antics.
