Hesy-Ra is well known for certain, unique titles. The most discussed title is "Wer-ibeḥ-senjw", which can be translated in many ways. "Ibeh" can be translated as "dentition" and/or "ivory" as well. "Senjw" is a plural for "arrows", "cutters" and/or "physicians" alike. Thus, the full title "Wer-ibeḥ-senjw" can either be translated as "Great one of the ivory cutters" or as "Great one of the dentists". If the former translation was correct, Hesy-Ra was a professional ivory-cutter and artist - a profession that was fairly common and already attested in early dynastic inscriptions. If the latter translation was correct, Hesy-Ra would be the very first person in Egyptian history to be officially entitled as an occupational dentist.
