Kids Dental Health and Dental Hygiene
Oral disease has been a problem from the beginning of history. Skulls of Cro-Magnon peoples, 25,000 years old, show evidence of tooth decay. The earliest recorded reference is from an ancient (5000 BC) Sumerian text describing "tooth worms" as a cause of dental decay. There is evidence that the Chinese used acupuncture around 2700 BC to treat pain associated with tooth decay, and an Egyptian lower jaw, dated by experts from 2900 to 2750 BC, has two holes drilled through the bone, apparently to drain an abscessed tooth.
