Concrete blocks of teeth



Town of Elkhart, Indiana, USA. At the corner of two streets is a stone that separates the roadway from the curb. On the face of the stone as a stone. But if you look closer ... you can see hundreds and thousands of human teeth clamped into the concrete blocks. And all because a local dentist Dr. Joseph Stamp picked out and treated teeth locals 60 years, until he died in 1978 at age 88. And like a good doctor, he kept all his teeth pulled out patients who carefully stored in a barrel in the cellar of his kabineta.

Granddaughter dentist told me that my grandfather was a man of thorough and accurate. If his hands on something fell, he always found this application. Has been applied and its collections - it poured concrete and made a hefty and heavy unit in his memory. And thousands of his patients.
