Summary Note
In October, 1941, Kenneth had a tooth pulled at a "speed dentist's." The man had six chairs and was working them all at the same time, pulling out teeth. It was like a barber shop. The procedure cost $2. Kenneth recalls the dentists he used in Thailand, the Japanese spydentists, and then a Danish dentist up in Bangkok whose idea of filling a tooth was first to kill the nerve. That's how Kenneth lost so many of his teeth. Ultimately, the Landons went up to Pinang for their dental work. (Length 2:11)
