The article “History Of Teeth” and the informational text “Where Are All The Dentists” by Kristian Lewis, talks about how access to good dental care is important. One example to show people need access to good dental care is George Washington, he had fake teeth. The article states “George Washington had only one tooth left by time he became president-a fact that bothered him greatly” (Lewis 13). This shows why people need access to good dental care because, George Washington disliked that fact that he was missing so many teeth, if someone is missing that many teeth then, their gums would hurt as well as it would be hard to eat. Another example is kids often get cavities that are untreated. The informational text states “What's more, one in

Hunting has always been argued in being beneficial or critical to the environment. Especially, in recent world topics as well as the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. Mr. Sanger Rainsford in “The Most Dangerous Game” changes his opinion on hunting. The short story states, “The world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees.” This quote illustrates that Rainsford is expressing his philosophy on what he believes hunting is, and not having a problem with it. As you can see, it is my position that hunting is beneficial to the environment because it balances out the ecosystem, and teaches humans the value of nature.

Yes he does, "Banquo's Ghost sits in "Macbeth's place" he responds "Thou canst not say I did it: never shake/Thy gory locks at me"(110)

Although modern dentistry dates back to the 1700 archeologist have provided evidence of dental treatment from thousands of years ago. A French dentist, Pierre Fauchard also known as the “Father of Modern Dentistry”. In 1728, he published a book, The Surgeon Dentist, which emphasized the importance of healthy teeth. He developed the first orthodontic treatment methods and devised a more advanced, less expensive technique for making dentures. Throughout the 1700s dentist thought it was best for diseased teeth to be and dentures be imbedded. Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere made dentures from gold and ivory. Former President of the United States, George Washington was said to have wooden teeth. While Dentures remained expensive for one-hundred and fifty years after Washington,

Some less agreeable ingredients included mice, rabbit head, lizards livers, and urine. Many recipes continued through ancient history. Sadly, many of these remedies contained corrosive elements that dissolved tooth enamel. Toothpaste in the early 1800’s contained soap and chalk. Pierre Fauchard (1678-1761) was another important factor in dentistry. He is known as the “founder of Modern Dentistry”. Fauchard perfected a number of dental treatments and instruments that are still used today. He even noticed that he could straighten teeth by using gold braces that were fastened by waxed linen or silk threads and allowed the teeth follow pattern of wired. Fauchard visited jewelers, barbers, and watchmakers to gather ideas for instruments he could

With my early trips to the dentist and the natural loss of my baby teeth having sparked an interest in dentistry before I really knew what being a dentist meant, I began shadowing to further explore the profession. As I watched a tooth take shape from a blob of acrylic under the experienced hand of the dentist I was shadowing, I was filled with the same awe and satisfaction that I gain from the piano. Dr. Aboud repeatedly positioned the temporary crown in the patient’s mouth, checked his bite, and painstakingly continued to adjust the crown until the fit was just right. Though I have wanted to be a dentist for almost as long as I have played the piano, my interest in dentistry grew

The field of dentistry has history dating back to 7000 BC and has continually changed and improved overtime through the influence of many intelligent people. The ancient cavemen of Pakistan received credit for the first documented drilling of teeth. Studies show that Pakistanian cavemen used asphalt and other creative treatments to fill cavities (“Dentistry”). This act of improving oral health laid the basis for further development and innovations in the field. Following the Pakistanian cavemen, the ancient Egyptians contributed to dentistry by creating the formula for one of the oldest recorded toothpastes. This mixture consisted of rock salt, mint, dried iris flower, and pepper. Scientists believe that this formula for toothpaste may have worked better than toothpastes developed during the 18th century (Monson). The French, the next

Our teeth are some of the most overworked bones in our body. We use them to grind, gnaw, crush, and pulverize food every day. Despite this workload, we still expect our teeth make us look fabulous when smiling for the camera. Imagine life without teeth. Imagine life with false teeth. Would we smile as much? Would we still enjoy our favorite foods? Let’s explore these questions further as they have played major role in my short career as a registered dental assistant.

Dentistry has a long and complex history, with the earliest evidence of it being performed being dated back to 7000 B.C. from the Indus River Valley Civilization. Later, an ancient Sumerian text mentioned “tooth worms” around 5000 B.C., and from 2900 - 2700 B.C,Egyptians began drilling teeth to drain abscesses. Etruscan and Greek physicians further progressed dentistry by pioneering dental prosthetics and writing texts that contained information about dentistry. The Roman Empire later conquered the Etruscans and absorbed some of their culture, including dentistry. In fact, the Roman medical writer Celsus wrote on many topics pertaining to dentistry. In Asia, although the Chinese did use silver amalgam fillings as early as 200 B.C., a proclamation from the Qu’ran that prohibited body mutilation prevented the advancement of dental surgery for many years. The first book to focus solely on dentistry, Little Medicinal Book for All Kinds of Diseases and Infirmities of the Teeth by Artzney Buchlein was published in Germany in 1530. Known European dental achievements were mostly French and English in the 16th and 17th century, with James Hunter, an English surgeon, pioneering the idea of teeth transplant. When the English began settling the United States, many of them brought along their dental practices. Notable American dentists during the colonial period include Isaac and John Greenwood and Paul Revere. In the 19th century, America was a hotbed for dentistry related
