So what is the history of dentistry? Well, it starts off with all ancient cultures believing in 'toothworms,' which were worms they believed lived inside the tooth. Every ancient culture believed in these toothworms for thousands of years.
The ancient Greeks and Romans began to have some rudimentary dental technology, as well as some aesthetic practices like shaving down teeth, but once we were in the middle ages all of that was replaced by con artists.
All throughout the middle ages, traveling con artists would go town to town claiming they could pull teeth painlessly, even though they had absolutely no way to even lessen the amount of pain to any of their patients.
Doctors refused to work on any sort of tooth problem, because they simply didn't have any technology to make progress.
Eventually with the invent of the printing press, microscope, and truly anesthetic, slow progress was able to be made, and now we have the entire field of dentistry before us. Our next hurdle as a people is making sure that everyone can get good dental care, not just the privileged ones who can afford to go to the dentist.
This is amazing!! I’m a dentist and I watched it until the end, so good and you nailed it, especially the end
u deserve more views
thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed :)
Also in japanese the word for cavity is 虫歯 (mushiba). 虫 (mushi) means "bug" and 歯 (ba) means teeth. You have to wonder if the word "tooth-bug" meaning "cavity" has something to do with the tooth worm

Wait what about Washington’s dentures made of slave teeth?
Apparently there is only one document that kind of implies that, not enough to say he definitely had dentures made of slave teeth so I didn't include it, but it's not like the guy had a great track record with slavery so I don't mean to sound like I'm defending him or anything. I believe the document was an ad saying they would take slave teeth... but only at half price.
He had wood and metal teeth I saw them on display they were gross
People who were forced to be slaves*
