And left patients in far worse shape than they started out in. A little girl named Ellen Kelly was brought to a parlor in Grand Street to have some teeth out and died as a consequence, the article states, recounting other victim stories. Possibly the most renowned street dentist was Edgar Parker.
He charged really cheap, compared to other dentists. Went to him a couple of times for treatments but found out he wasnt legal when he couldnt sign 
the faculty dental form he had no license. His dental office was simply a bare room, with a bucket of ice you might spit into, overlooking initial Avenue and fifth Street. I remember he walked with a limp and cane. I think he was less expensive than an approved dentist and potentially made neighborhood folk feel more at ease. Though the bucket of ice appears a little primitive.
