Answer:

1) Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Chinese, and the Romans. One man, named Pierre Fauchard, who was a French surgeon is credited as the 'Father of Modern Dentistry'. Next, Death of Hesy-Re, an Egyptian scribe, often called the first “dentist.” An inscription on his tomb includes the title “the greatest of those who deal with teeth, and of physicians.” This is the earliest known reference to a person identified as a dental practitioner. Last one I'll mention,  Celsus claims in his diaries to have discovered a means of moving teeth with routine finger pressure — ultimately makeshift Invisalign. Later, Celsus' Roman peers created dental hardware that kind of looked like today's braces. Tiny golden wires were attached to teeth in an attempt to close gaps.

2)Aurelius Cornelius Celsus

(c. 25 BC – c. 50 AD), Amsterdam, 1687

Aurelius Cornelius Celsus was a Roman physician, philosopher and author of De Medicina. The next  In 1723, French Physician Pierre Fauchard, who I mentioned in the above question, published his influential book The Surgeon Dentist, a Treatise on Teeth, which for the very first time defined a comprehensive system for caring for teeth and treating dental ailments.

3) Crawcour brothers; the misuse resulted in the use of the amalgam being considered malpractice. They considered its use malpractice because of possible mercury poisoning and preferred the use of commonly used gold flake. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers dental amalgam fillings safe for adults and children over the age of six.

Background: Since the 1990s, FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other government agencies have reviewed the scientific literature looking for links between dental amalgams and health problems. CDC reported in 2001 that there is little evidence:

That the health of the vast majority of people with dental amalgam is compromised

That removing amalgam fillings has a beneficial effect on health

In 2002, FDA published a proposed rule to classify dental amalgam as a class II medical device with special controls. In 2008, FDA reopened the comment period for that proposed rule. After reviewing all comments, FDA issued a rule in 2009.

4) There are both private and group. Hospital dental clinics, assisting dentists in the treatment of bedridden patients. Dental school clinics, assisting dental students as they learn to perform dental procedures.  There are also options such as Endodontic, Periodontics, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, and Oral Surgeon Other career opportunities for dental assistants include: insurance companies, processing dental insurance claims.
