At 11 feet in length this is the most impressive sign and the best dentistry sign we have seen. The ornate curvilinear outline with the high relief flourishes creates a striking frame for the gold painted carved wood lettering arrayed on the green and black smaltz field. The striking color and general condition suggest this was not exposed to the elements but such signs were meant to be. The only damage we see is an area of wood loss along the upper left border and the loss of a period after 'W'. Odontunder, the meaning of which is generally unfamiliar to present day dentists, was a patent formulation of cocaine hydroclorate, and probably the "magic" behind the so-called painless dentistry prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th century.
