With all the advancements that dentistry has made, it’s difficult for us to think about what dentistry must have been like before it became modernized. We’re very interested in the origins of our field at Co burg Dental Group, so here is a brief history of dentistry. But 10,00 years ago spurred the growth of farming society, an event that correlated with an amplify in cavities. Their form of dentistry involved curing tooth related disorders with bow drills, a reliable and effective practice that we use in another form today. The earliest known dental filling was made of beeswax and discovered in Slovenia. The first recorded use of dental appliances or bridges comes from the Etruscan, a society that lived in Italy, as early as 700 BC. Historically, dental extractions have been old to treat a variety of illnesses and dentistry was never a profession in itself. General physicians and barbers would usually perform dental procedures, which were often limited to extractions. The father of new dentistry is the French surgeon Pierre Fauchard, due to his improvements of dental instruments. Fauchard reached far and wide to get it right, adapting tools from watchmakers, barbers and jewelers. He introduced dental fillings for cavities to the Western world, and realized the harmful consequences that sugar derivative acids have on the teeth. He also was a pioneer of dental prosthesis, suggesting substitutes for missing teeth like carved blocks of ivory or bone. In addition, he introduced braces, initially made of gold and waxed linen or silk threads. In 1763, he and London dentist James Spence worked together to theories how tooth transplants would work. While the donated teeth never properly bonded with the patients’ gums, this was a remarkable achievement. Latter these massive steps, toothpaste was beginning sold in tubes in 1892, the first dental Bray was made in 1896, and the beginning nylon toothbrush was made in 1938. The British HHS in 1948 made dental protection much better, and it has continued to grow ever since.
