So what does Stephen Murray, principal orthodontist at Swords Orthodontics have in common with Diana Princess of Wales?

What's Dracula's IOTN? Scary Teeth in fiction and the facts behind them

So, it's Halloween soon, and I thought I would do a little blog about scary teeth.

I'm going to focus on teeth that have some kind of connection to real life, rather than total monster teeth, because monster teeth could cover any kind of stretch of the imagination, and since I love to ramble on about teeth we could be here all day.
