So what are your thoughts on going to the dentist?
Funny you should ask, I just went to the dentist on Wednesday.  I was recently told how dentistry originated in China.  I had no idea.
I had no idea either! I bet dentistry was really messed up back then
Well actually barbers were the ones to perform hygienic services as well as surgeries.  Scary, right??!!
Haha I would not trust my barber with my teeth! I'm guessing no pain relief either?
Probably not.  So I guess you aren't alone since France made decress prohibiting barbers from practicing all types of surgery in 1400.  Wise move I think.
That is a lot earlier than I thought. I'm pretty sure I visited a Napoleonic era ship and they still had a ships barber doing the surgery!
Well now that's fascinating!  I read where publications devoted to dentistry began to be published in the 1530's.  So to answer your first question, I'm really not fond of going to the dentist...or the barber now lol.
