The Museum of the History of Dentistry is home to exhibits from 1700 to the present day, showing the development of dental medicine and dental technology.

With the help of modern exhibition architecture in showcases in the shape of abstract teeth, objects from dentistry and dental technology are presented. The oldest objects date back to around 1700, while the newest exhibits are implants and materials for bone regeneration and a computer-controlled milling machine for ceramic processing from the 1990s.

Also worth seeing are an old Viennese noble practice from 1900, a technician's workplace from the same time, early braces and X-ray machines, treatment units from 1925 to the first device for the lying treatment method in 1965. An important part is also taken up by objects for dental health care.

The video clips on the subject of teeth are also fun for children.
