  1. I love them all, but the bottom three best. The insanely large teeth would shock even Jerry Lewis! The carousel horse is actually a good idea for dentist adverse tykes, and maybe the clown for some. Definitely back at mid-century. I like how the cartoonists here drew the dental office and equipment pretty accurately also.
