A History of Dentists Cheshire

Posted by elitekhandental on July 12th, 2014

As any half intelligent person can probably gather from news and word of mouth, dentistry and cosmetic dentistry specifically has made huge steps forward in the last few years. Mostly thanks to great leaps in terms of technology and because of it, patients now have a huge selection when it comes to choosing which option to take in order to turn their smiles into those seen only on the Hollywood Elite. Such modern and up to date methods used in DENTISTS CHESHIRE clinics as well as UK wide, doesn’t necessarily mean cosmetic dentistry is a recent thing. It’s quite the opposite actually with people’s desires for brighter smiles dating way back to ancient times when people actually cleaned their teeth with sticks around 3000BC.

With early attempts it wasn’t always successful. Take the first toothbrush for instance in the late 1400’s, as revolutionary as it was it unfortunately wasn’t very sanitary being made from animal hair, however, like all civilisations we grew and adapted.Following with a much more successful nylon toothbrush in 1938 as well as the first ever electric toothbrush recorded as early as 1961, quite astonishing really.

As is the case with most Cheshire Dentists, it’s now possible to walk through a dental clinics door and enjoy the results of a complete smile make over but this wasn’t always the case, especially when cosmetic dentistry was first experimented with as early as 700BC where ancient civilisations used materials that resembled teeth in order to replace missing or rotten teeth, something that was a huge problem during that time. Dentures were even made from ivory and bone as well as human and animal teeth often resulting in extremely smelly mouths that fell apart quickly. In the 1400’s the Europeans caught on to bone and ivory dentures before experimenting with what would appear to be the first ever implant type devices when they tried using metal inserts within the sockets of lost teeth.

From just a brief outline of the first ever steps towards dental health care it’s clear to see just how far we’ve come in terms of our capabilities. With teeth whitening safer than ever along with the ability to completely reconstruct entirely lost smiles with permanent replacements, it’s no wonder people are flocking to Dentists Cheshire based clinics to make their teeth as perfect as possible.
