That\u2019s why historians and archeologists have found evidence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morriscountydentist.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> across every period of recorded history. If you were in Ancient Egypt or the Roman Empire, and you wanted whiter teeth\u2026what could you do? Are there any methods from then that we still use today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Did WHAT?!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Etruscans were an ancient civilization in what is now Italy, and they held themselves to a very high standard when it came to personal aesthetics, including their teeth. While they initially used everything from ivory to animal bones and teeth as replacements (usually held together using gold bands), they made the jump to using something that <em>faintly<\/em> resembles modern-day dental crowns around 200 AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ancient Egyptians took a much more direct approach\u2014hammering seashells into the gums and using toothpaste made using pumice stone and vinegar to eliminate stains. While that might make you wince, it\u2019s not like the Roman Empire\u2014the main ingredient in their toothpaste was urine because it\u2019s rich in ammonium, a natural teeth-whitening agent. Imagine how hard it would be to find the motivation to brush every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It Gets Better\u2026Sort Of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward a few centuries, and if you were unhappy with your smile, you wouldn\u2019t visit a dentist, but rather your local barber. \u201cDentistry\u201d as we know it wasn\u2019t a defined concept even though people made efforts to take care of their teeth. If you wanted a brighter smile in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century, your friendly neighborhood barber might coat your teeth with acid. This would certainly remove stains, but also take the enamel with it\u2026ouch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain dentures were invented around 1770 in France, and after evolving through the 1800s, acrylics, resins, and other plastics started to be utilized in this new and innovative field called dentistry. In 1903, the first porcelain crown appeared. While they looked natural, they were extremely brittle, so the treatment didn\u2019t become popular until porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns came around in the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Modern Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting closer to now, dental materials continued to evolve, giving cosmetic dentists access to materials that were both aesthetically pleasing and strong enough to withstand daily chewing. Porcelain veneers (popularized by Hollywood stars in the 1930s and still used today) and crowns became common, as did teeth whitening using gels made using hydrogen or carbamide peroxide (which remove stains while preserving the enamel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, now is the best time to be alive if you want to enhance your smile. Whether you want to change the color, the shape, the spacing, or everything, it\u2019s possible using treatments that are comfortable, beautiful, and can be trusted to last. Think about it\u2014you have access to better care than even the Egyptian Pharaohs or Roman Emperors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>About the Author<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morriscountydentist.com\/meet-dr-goldberg.html\">Dr. Ira Goldberg<\/a>&nbsp;is a skilled cosmetic and implant dentist with nearly 30 years of experience helping patients feel confident in their smiles.
