Dentistry, in its variant forms is mentioned over 125 times in the scriptures, primarily in the Bible (King James Version) and The Book of Mormon. This is more than many other topics. By comparison, The Plan of Salvation is mentioned only 5 times, and all variations of the word exaltation are mentioned just 82 times. Priesthood is mentioned 141 times, mostly in the Doctrine & Covenants. This puts the importance of dentistry in its proper perspective. When reading these relevant verses, it is important to remember that Israelite prophets wrote in figures, using types and shadows to illustrate their points. From a Twenty-first Century perspective, they were relatively unsophisticated, but remarkably, they were on point with many of their oral health care therapies, as is attested by the scriptures cited in this volume.
