Table of ContentsReviewsCatherine Carstairs broadens the public coverage of dental care in Canada with her study of oral health-related inequity and its various cultural, social, and professional determinants. The Smile Gap is a unique and welcome addition to the history of dentistry in Canada. Carlos Quinonez, Western University and author of The Politics of Dental Care in Canada The Smile Gap engages a wide literature, including the sociology of public health as well as the cultural histories of health advertising, to offer a critical yet accessible account of dentistry in Canada after the First World War. Analyzing popular texts, medical dental journals, and a wide range of professional and institutional records, Carstairs provides readers with a broad social history of dental care from both patient and practitioner perspectives. Applying an equity lens throughout, it also offers important insights into the history of Canadian public health.

Based on years of travel and original research through personal connections, Van Deusen ... has compiled excellent translations of stories recorded from traditional storytellers. Her commentary bridges past, present, and future to provide unique glimpses into the culture of a people who have managed to survive modern intrusions into their traditional world.
