When did people first go to the dentist?
The answer may be 9000 years ago. Scientist recently have discovered 11 ancient teeth with tiny holes drilled into them. The teeth, which are between 7 500 and 9 000 years old, belonged to nine adults who once lived in a village in Pakistan.
At first, scientist were unsure why the teeth had been drilled.
The holes were all in hard to see molars, so they wouldn't have been made for decoration. Could the drilling have been to remove tooth decay, as in modern dentistry?
This seemed the best explanation, especially after decay was found in some of the teeth. Tooth decay can cause toothaches and even tooth loss.
Early dentist likely dug out the decay with tools that had sharp tips made of flint.
These tools were probably similar to ones people used then to make beads.
Till today, no one knows what was used to fill the holes in an ancient ages.
