What visitors say
Didn't even know this place existed but popped down after I attended a lecture here. It was completely deserted, which is a shame as whilst small in size is high interesting in what it teaches you. If you're in the area definitely worth popping in for a few minutes.

It was interesting and informative. I don't really know what constitutes a Museum; however, I thought the name was a bit misleading - as the space is very small and is basically a room joined to the library.

Not quite a museum, more of a mildly diverting room full of teeth (real, porcelain and ivory) and some antique dental instruments. Unsurprisingly, given it's located in the British Dental Association building, the main focus is the life and work of the founder of the BDA. Although tiny, it might have earned a 4th star if there were slightly more focus on the experience of dental patients, not just practitioners, and if the room and exhibits were more ordered (the day I visited, some exhibits were out of place on top of the cabinets, obscuring the displays). That said, the staff were very obliging and nice enough to let me have a look around even though the museum is apparently usually only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
