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!
