History Of The Development Of Dental Anesthesia |
|
Text 
|
The history of dentistry is somewhat chequred and is littered with unimaginable anecdotes. For example, the whole process of pulling out a tooth before anesthesia was known makes for interesting reading. The patient or in this case the victim was lead to an open field and a thread was tied around the offending tooth. Two burly lads held the patient down while the thread was pulled by a horse galloping at full speed! Later on barber dentists arrived and the process of getting a tooth pulled became more civilized. It must be pointed out though that anesthesia is used not only for extraction of teeth, but also for procedures that cause pain such as drilling cavities or cleaning the teeth deep into the gums. |
