The History Of Dentistry
Dentistry could have been started early as 3000 BC due to evidence found of drilled and cleaned teeth in the Harappan periods.
A physical anthropologist named Professor Andrea Cucina from the University Missouri-Columbia found medicine and dentistry on exhumed bodies.
In fact, in the Hammurabi's code where references to dental procedures and fees. In the ancient Egyptians and Greco Romans showed attempts at
dental surgery and prosthetics. In the middle ages and the 19th century dental extractions were used to treat some illnesses. Did you know dental
work was done by barbers and general physicians, but barbers only did extract of the teeth.
In the 14th century a man named Guy de Chauliac invented the dental pelican which turn into the dental key, then was replaced by Modern Forceps. But it is
said that a French physician by the name Pierre Fauchard, in the 17th century, started the dentistry science we know now. He introduced fillings and figured out
that sugar decays teeth. Now a days, we have cosmetic
surgery and dental
plans. |
