The history of dentistry is... scary. If you have 88 free minutes, throw this on in the background and learn the horrible story.

This is an amazing book that also happens to be very funny, if after this video you decide you need even more disgusting details.

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.
