Abstract：
With her wide readership and sympathetic and intelligent handling of dentists and dentistry in her detective novels and short stories, it is probable that Dorothy Leigh Sayers(1893-1957) influenced the public perception of dentists favourably, as being true professionals, particularly after the 1921 Act made it a fully closed specialty. Her encounter with a dental automaton seen when she was very young is acknowledged by her as a formative influence.
摘要：
在她的侦探小说和短篇小说中，她拥有广泛的读者以及对牙医和牙科的同情和聪明的处理，DorothyLeighSayers（1893-1957）很可能影响了公众对牙医的看法，作为真正的专业人士，特别是在1921年法案使其成为完全封闭的专业之后。她在很小的时候就遇到了牙科自动机，这被她认为是一种形成性影响。
