Abraham Lincoln was the 16 th president of the United States of America, the winner of the American Civil War, but also the1 st assassinated President. Personal records about the former president report four visits to the dentist. It’s rumored that Lincoln had a phobia of going to the dentist. One of them was mentioned in a letter to Mary Speed, one of his sister’s friends on September 27 th 1841. " Do you remember when I went to this city to get a tooth extracted and it totally failed? This tooth made me suffer once again so badly that a week ago, I had to have it removed, which cost me a piece of the maxilla which came out with it. My mouth is so sore that I can neither talk, nor eat. I only survive with the memory of flavours which is inadequate in terms of nutritious diet ." 2 visits to the dentist were needed to extract that tooth. At that time, Lincoln was staying in Louisville in Kentucky . He developed a real apprehension towards dentistry and in particular dentists. In 1856, when he was in Milton Station (Humbolt) in Illinois, he stopped at Dr Wesley Wampler’s dental office . There, the dentist extracted a tooth. In 1862, suffering atrociously from a toothache, he saw Dr G. Wolf whose dental office was near the church in Washington. When the dentist was about to extract a tooth, Lincoln asked him to stop. He brought out a bottle of chloroform, inhaled it several times, and before falling asleep, gave the practitioner the green light to perform his surgery. The tooth extraction occured without pain . A letter written by J. Littlefield to W. Herndon on December 11th 1886, revealed that: " One night of 1862, at the White House, M. Lincoln suffered from a tooth which had been extracted. Despite the atrocious pain, he chatted with humour with, here and there, a stroke of logic which was revealing that he had understood the situation . "
