Pierre Fauchard, 'Father of Modern Dentistry' Statue
A bronze statue of an 18th-century French dental surgeon stands guard outside the Oklahoma Dental Association building, dressed in his finest late-1600s clothes. The kicker: it was sculpted not by a professional artist but by a dentist.
The move: Make a tiny pilgrimage to the patron saint of teeth, take a deadpan photo flashing your best smiles next to him, and argue over which of you has better dental hygiene.
