A finer, more comprehensive collection of dental artifacts does not exist anywhere in South Carolina. The museum houses an impressive collection of dental memorabilia, including historical tools and instruments, a 19th Century dental-office display, a collection of dental chairs and a traveling dentist's chest from the Civil War era.
