This is a timeline of dentistry, attempting to illustrate the evolution of the medical specialty.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
Ancient times Dating back to 7000 B.C., dentistry is one of the oldest medical professions. The earliest records on dentistry date back to the Indus Valley Civilization. At around 5000 BC, descriptions related to dentistry and tooth decay become available. At the time, a Sumerian text describes tooth worms as causing dental decay, an idea that wouldn't prove false until the 1700s.[1]
Middle age In the Early Middle Ages in Europe monks act as doctors, surgeons and dentists. However in the early 12th century the Church forbids clergy to do operations of any kind. This gives place to the merge of craftsmen called a barber-surgeons. As well as cutting hair and doing surgery, barber-surgeons pull teeth. People clean their teeth by chewing twigs. Others make toothpaste from things like crushed eggshells. However there are no toothbrushes at the time.[2]
17th century In Europe, some barber-surgeons begin to specialize in dentistry. Toothbrushes are introduced into England in the mid-century.[2]
18th century Dentistry becomes more scientific[2] and a more defined profession.[1]
19th century Diets change as sugar becomes increasingly available. Common consumption of refined foods and sugary treats make tooth problems more common. However, dentistry keeps a fair pace with these developing problems. European dentists start experimenting with dental implants, gold fillings are used to treat decayed teeth, and nitrous oxide is introduced as a way to ease the pain during dental extractions and other oral surgeries.[3]
20th century The century is one of great advances in dental technology. In the 1950s, the first fluoride toothpastes are marketed. In the 1960s, lasers are developed. In the 1990s, new advances in esthetic dentistry emerge, including tooth-colored restorative materials, bleaching materials, veeners and implants.[4][5]

Year Event type Details Country/region
7000 BC Medical development Human remains at the Mehgarh Neolithic site in Baluchistan, Pakistan, dating from that time show early evidence of dentistry. Holes in eleven teeth found on the site were intentionally made using ancient flint drill bits.
