This artwork is directed against the poor quality of dental equipment that was available during that primitive period. The stinging humor of the artist pictures the equipment as something from the caveman in the stone age. The dentist and his patient are also drawn as stone age characters, indicating that he considered this a barbaric period in dental history.
Contrast this picture with today's precise instruments, techniques and beautiful dental offices and clinics. Modern dentistry enhances the patient's happiness by stressing the importance of overcoming dental caries and periodontal disease to save the natural teeth and rescue him/her from an edentulous life.
