Final Days
In his book and all his life Fauchard denounced the quackery and fraud of dental charlatans and their exploitation of patients. Pierre advised his students and friends of the highly injurious techniques used by charlatans and to avoid them. He warned his medical readers that nitric acid and sulfuric acid on teeth to remove tartar used by charlatans are potentially dangerous and explained how to identify their false dental fillings.
Doctor Fauchard became a model for all dentists to come. He died at the age of 83 in Paris, France, on March 22, 1761.
