Story
100matolog is Wroclaw's first dwarf dentist, and he did not exactly arrive to a warm welcome. Clutching an enormous pair of pliers and a freshly pulled tooth bigger than his own head, his scowling expression sent tremors through the dwarf community. Legend has it that when 100matolog first set up his practice on ul. Krakowska, the local sweet-toothed dwarfs hid behind every lamppost for a week. But those brave enough to sit in his chair discovered the truth: beneath that fearsome grimace lives a genuinely dedicated healer, committed to keeping every dwarf smile sparkling.
History & Significance
The dwarf appeared in 2008 at ul. Krakowska 26, outside the Dental and Medical Faculty of the Medical University of Wroclaw (Uniwersytet Medyczny im. Piastow Slaskich). Sculptor Beata Zwolanska-Holod created the figure, making 100matolog the first medical professional among Wroclaw's bronze dwarf family. His placement outside the faculty building directly reflects the real-world institution he honours.
Inspiration
The name '100matolog' is a playful Polish pun fusing 'sto' (one hundred) with 'stomatolog' (dentist), a nod to the Medical University's centennial history and the dental faculty's long tradition. The dwarf was commissioned by the university as a lighthearted mascot that turns one of humanity's most dreaded appointments into something you might actually smile about.
Fun Facts
- 100matolog is the first dentist in the entire Wroclaw dwarf universe — no other dwarf dared fill that role before him.
- He offers free extractions using strictly traditional methods: no anaesthesia, no modern tools whatsoever.
- His scowling face is part of the charm — visitors quickly find that up close he looks far friendlier than from a distance.
- The name is a Polish wordplay combining 'sto' (one hundred) and 'stomatolog' (dentist), honouring the Medical University's centennial.
- Sweet-loving dwarfs reportedly still cross the street to avoid him, but always end up back in his chair eventually.
