This particular style of pain begins about 7000 B.C., or close to 10,000 years ago, the known historical birth of dentistry with the bow drill, a hand held contraption that could build fires and drill holes. The dentist needed an assistant whose duty it was to hold the person still while the doctor worked. Until Novocaine, God bless it, all procedures were carried out with only a shot of whiskey to deaden the pain. Here we have the whole pictorial history of dentistry that will convince us that humanity has indeed progressed.
