The
earliest evidence of ancient dentistry we have is an amazingly detailed
dental work on a mummy from ancient Egypt that archaeologists have
dated to 2000 BCE. The work shows intricate gold work around the teeth.
This mummy was found with two donor teeth that had holes drilled into
them. Wires were strung through the holes and then around the
neighboring teeth.The
