Paul Revere offers his service as a dentist.
September 19, 1768
Revere runs an advertisement in the Boston Gazette, addressed to those, “unfortunate as to lose their Fore-Teeth by Accident or Other-ways” for “artificial Ones that look as well as the Natural. . .” The ad notes that Revere learned his trade from a “Mr. Baker.” Two years later, Revere places another ad claiming that he “flatters himself that from the experience he has had these two years, that he can fix them as well as any surgeon dentist whoever came from London.”
