There is historical evidence that the ancient Chinese used acupuncture around 2700 BC to treat the pain associated with tooth decay. The first local anesthetic used in dentistry was Cocaine, introduced as an anesthetic by Carl Koller (1857-1944) in 1884. Researchers soon began working on a non-addictive substitute for Cocaine, and as a result German Chemist, Alfred Einkorn introduced Novocain in 1905. Alfred Einkorn was researching an easy-to-use and safe local anesthesia to use on soldiers during wartime. He refined the chemical procaine until it was more effective, and named the new product Novocain. Novocain never became popular for military use; however, it did become popular as an anesthetic among dentists. In 1846, Dr. William Morton, a Massachusetts dentist, was the first dentist to use anesthesia for tooth extraction.

TMJ Disorder

TMJ Disorder

TMJ disorder is a very debilitating condition. Bio-Touch has been used many times to relieve the pain in the jaws, the inability to open the jaws, and the nerve pain in the face. Most experts agree that treatment should begin with conservative, nonsurgical therapies first, with surgery left as the last resort. Therefore Bio-Touch, when used as a healing touch therapy, can be a wonderful complement to any healthcare protocol for TMJ disorder. Bio-Touch is easy to learn and practice right at home. The set of points on the body that is lightly touched to help ease the symptoms of TMJ, is the neck set, and additional touching is applied around the jaws as well as to any other areas of discomfort.

Retainer Brite

Retainer Brite

veryone wants straight teeth and so those who don’t have them naturally go to their Medicaid orthodontist to get them with the help of braces or a retainer. After wearing braces for a few years the teeth may look straight but that doesn’t mean that they will stay straight. For these purposes, orthodontists use retainers.

Retention is the final phase of orthodontic treatment. Yet because the gums and bones around teeth take longer to move, retainers are used to keep the teeth in place while the surrounding bone and tissue follow in taking shape. Some retainers are worn longer than others. The most common are the Hawley and the Vacuforms, which are typically worn full time, and removed when eating. These are worn for usually less than a year. Then they are worn only at night.

Dentistry got its start in the Indus Valley of India and Pakistan. These industrious would-be dentists were master beadmakers who used bow drills to cure tooth problems. This is also the first appearance of dental assistants, whose duties consisted of restraining the flailing arms and legs of patients during the undoubtedly excruciating procedures. Still, this obviously beat a life without teeth.The first and most enduring explanation for what causes tooth decay was the tooth worm, first noted by the Sumerians around 5000 BC. The hypothesis was that tooth decay was the result of a tooth worm boring into and decimating the teeth. This is logical, as the holes created by cavities are somewhat similar to those bored by worms into wood. The ivory sculptures below depict the havoc wrought by these wicked worms.
