This is a timeline of dentistry.
Contents
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] |
Full timeline
Year | Event type | Details | Country/region |
---|---|---|---|
7000 BC | Human remains at the Mehgarh Neolithic site in Baluchistan, Pakistan, dating from that time show early evidence of dentistry.

2900 BC – 2750 BC | Egyptian skulls dating from that period contain evidence of small holes in the jaw in the vicinity of a tooth’s roots. Such holes are believed to have been drilled to drain abscesses.[5] | Egypt | |
2500 BC | Oral surgery is thought to be practiced in Egypt this early.[5] | Egypt | |
