A unique journey into the
world of teeth, dentistry and the care for one of our body’s most important
part! Visitors will go through the history of dentistry and dental care. They
will also understand the close link that we have with animals and will be amazed
at the importance of teeth and the many cultures of the world. The final zone is
reserved for children. The Tooth Fairy herself is there to introduce it. This is
a reproduction of a dental clinic. There is a small dentist’s chair, a movable
lamp, a costume, dental tools and X-rays. You can even hear the noise of a small
turbine...
