I read that back in the ancient times, before processed food, people never got cavities their whole life, and that there was never a need for dentistry. I found that very hard to believe, considering a Navajo I worked with told me that their method for curing a tooth infection was to heat a hot piece of metal or stone in a fire and then hold it to the tooth, thus burning the roots... Which sounds totally painful.
I just wonder sometimes how many people lived their lives with massive toothaches, because I doubt I personally would have ever resorted to frying my roots, regardless of what age I lived in.
