This is shown by Document B, which states, "Certain citizens of Salem complained of tooth  aches. The excruciating pain made them believe they were bewitched. (Melidosian, 2016)"]]> 2017-08-07 19:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/180298530 Causes #2 anthony_swierzbinski https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/180299101 To further support my argument that the tooth fairy caused the Salem Witch Trials,  you can see in Document E a drawing from the 1690s by a person who lived through the Witch Trials. They are having a tooth ache and are imagining a evil spirit of some type hurting their teeth. The conclusion can be drawn that this image represents the tooth fairy. ]]> 2017-08-07 19:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/180299101 Causes #3 anthony_swierzbinski https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/213462465 Based on Document C, infected toothpaste may have played a part by...]]> 2017-12-05 19:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/213462465 Causes #4 anthony_swierzbinski https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/213462664 Witchcraft...]]> 2017-12-05 19:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/213462664 Quote anthony_swierzbinski https://padlet.com/anthony_swierzbinski/btjra3pq1c0c/wish/213463018 "Witches get stitches."
