I recently came across a pictorial history of dental technology through the ages. This page starts with the very beginnings of dentistry in the Indus Valley and ancient Mesopotamia. It is so exciting to see how far we have come! I can’t wait to see what the future holds, be it stem cell-generated tooth buds or indestructible prosthetic materials. We are limited only by our imaginations.
