Atlanta Dds Members Tend To Have Many Benefits

By Tammie Caldwell


Having tooth ache is not the nicest thing to have as it can make one feel truly under the weather. Going to the dentist is also rather frightening as not all dentists are gentle and do not have much of a bedside manner. At all of the Atlanta DDS each dentist will do their utmost to ensure that one is comfortable and at ease.

From 1750 BC an Egyptian text was found that referred to the diseases of teeth and a few remedies that helped to alleviate the pain it caused. Then from 500 to 300 BC both Aristotle and Hippocrates wrote about the treatment of tooth decay as well as gum diseases and how the affected teeth where pulled with forceps. There was also mention of how wires were used in keeping loose teeth as well as broken jaw bones together.

In 100 BC a Roman medical writer wrote many articles about oral hygiene as well as new methods of holding loose teeth in place. New treatments for pain and toothache as well as jaw fractures where discussed at length. Then in 162 and 100 AD the first practise of gold crowns and bridgework was introduced.

From 700 to 1575 the silver paste was introduced as well as the two groups which were divided into surgeons whom were extensively trained to perform difficult operations as well as those who were taught to perform the more normal everyday services. Later the first book entitled "The little medicinal book for all kinds of diseases and infirmities of the teeth" was written. It covered all the normal procedures such as extractions, drillings as well as the replacement of gold fillings.

Later Pierre Fauchard who was a French surgeon published another book and was named the father of modern dentistry as it described the oral structure and functions as well as therapeutic and operation techniques and construction. In 1746 Clause Mouton discovered that the gold crown can be changed to enamel which made the appearance of fillings much more appealing. Fifteen years later the first medically trained dentist arrived in America from England and set up his practise.

In 1789 Nicolas Dubois de Chemant was the first to administer porcelain teeth and John Greenwood constructed the first dental foot engine. He changed his mom's foot treadle spinning wheel to become a drill. The first dentists chair was also made by Josia Flagg and was able to have adjustments made to the headrest as well as extensions to hold all the required instruments.

They use only the best state of the art technologies and these allow them to be able to pick up any problems at an early stage and to be able to treat any issues with precision. Some of their services will include sinus lifts, crowns, neuromuscular therapy or massage therapy as well as sealants, invisalign and implant restoration. They are able to also use digital X-rays, digital imaging, velscope screening as well as being able to use the intra-oral camera.

The twentieth century bought on the first aesthetic named Novocain as well as the invention of lost wax. In 1911 the first US Army Dental corps was established and two years later the Fones Clinic opened its doors. From then on the leaps and bounds of dentistry have evolved to what it is today.
