Dentistry is one of the oldest medical professions. Its ancient origins go back to 5000 BC based on a Sumerian text associating “tooth worms” with dental decay. Prominent figures such as Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Celsus wrote about gum disease, oral hygiene, and treatments for toothache. By that time, Egyptians and ancient Greeks were already using a form of toothpaste made of alabaster or pumice, among other things. Others chewed on twigs to keep their clean teeth.
During the middle ages, lay barbers in France performed tooth extractions until it was outlawed in 1400. Apparently, during that time, some people made mouthwash by boiling dogs’ teeth in wine!
Despite the strange oral hygiene techniques of long ago, advancements in dentistry have paved the way for dentists to deliver the best patient care. Dentists are now among the most trusted professionals in America.
