> Now that THAT'S done with... I'm not exactly sure how people managed without dentists. Probably with lots of icky teeth and missing teeth, although their diets wouldn't (in most cases) have been as sugar-high as ours are... I've heard things about some cultures using sticks dipped in water as a toothbrush type thing, but I don't know.

I have no idea. But I wonder how people got rid of that icky need-to-brush-your-teeth feeling before toothbrushes were invented? Did they just swish a whole load of water around their mouths? I wonder if the first dentist was the first person to wonder about this problem... Maybe dentists just have these mutated genes that make them supersensitive to icky buildup on their teeth, and they hate that feeling, and they want to keep anyone from ever feeling it! I wonder if dentists want to hold a monopoly on icky-feelingness of the teeth? I wonder if they want to take over the world?
