| Keywords: outdoor Harbour Mouth Molars are a set of six geologically-scaled wisdom teeth that have erupted from the gummy mud of the Otago Harbour. Harbour Mouth Molars stand in Kitchener Street Park at the very south end of the harbour’s mouth; appropriately, just off Portsmouth Drive. Each tooth is roughly the size of an up-ended Austin Mini car, about 2.6m tall, 1.3m wide and 1.2m thick. Harbour Mouth Molars combines two features of Dunedin which made a strong impression on me when I lived in Dunedin as an undergraduate student at the Otago Polytechnic School of Art (1997–2000). Dunedin is home to the only Faculty and School of Dentistry in New Zealand, an institution which saved me from my constantly fluctuating impacting wisdom teeth in my final year as a student. One particular appointment has got to be my strangest double-date ever. My girlfriend at the time and I had consecutive appointments, and bore witness to the extraction of one another’s wisdom teeth. Delightful. Founded in 1907, the Faculty of Dentistry forms an integral part of the Division of Health Sciences within the University of Otago. The School serves as a teaching hospital for the people of Dunedin and the surrounding community. www.regangentry.com/featured/harbour-mouth-molars/ Harbour Mouth Molars are a set of six geologically-scaled wisdom teeth that have erupted from the gummy mud of the Otago Harbour.
