Don't be too afraid of doctors in white coats with monstrous hooks in their hands, with which they try to catch you by the gum or tear out something from your mouth that, in their opinion, is harmful to your health. In fact, they are not so scary. It's just that most of the actions they perform are strongly felt by the nervous system due to the high sensitivity of our 'fangs'. By the way, check out the websites of dental clinics – this will help you choose a good doctor.
Let's take a look at the history of dentistry. Let's start, as usual, with the most ancient times, when teeth were pulled out with terrible pliers, and anesthesia was a preliminary blow with a hammer on the 'patient's' head. This is, of course, a joke, because people already in deep antiquity mastered the basics of treating oral diseases. Many recipes against various oral ailments are preserved in ancient medical books. Recommendations for cleaning with special brushes and powders will be provided by economical dentistry and its specialists.
In Russia, the first specialized school for future dental doctors opened in St. Petersburg at the end of the 19th century. By 1883, its graduates numbered 450 dentists. At the beginning of the 20th century, science underwent a number of positive transformations – modern instruments, drugs, new means for installing fillings, and other medicines appeared. After WWII, the pace of development accelerated, more specialized institutes appeared, and the production of drills, chairs, and other equipment was established.
Nowadays, dental implantation techniques and the repair of even severely damaged teeth instead of their quick removal, as before, are no longer surprising. Modern fillings last much longer. And anesthesia is now offered everywhere, which may negate the bad reputation of the doctor with monstrous hooks in his hands, with which he tries to catch the patient by the gum or tear out something 'unnecessary'. This is again a joke, of course. In fact, without these people, our life would be much more difficult and painful, since oral diseases occur in 90% of people worldwide.
