How do they know how old it is?They also found the carved appointment stone tablets, booked solid for the next 15,000 years.

If you think about how painful a toothache can be and if you do nothing about it, it just continues on for years, it is not surprising at all that stone age man, homo erectus even, would have found ways to deal with the problem.
To: JustDoItAlways
Indeed...I can think of very few pains and aches that can be as intense or crippling as a toothache. One more way Homo Erectus was a true precursor to us.

Just goes to show how far ancient man would go to get rid of a toothache.

I hope they found some 9000 year old novocaine too.

I hope they found some 9000 year old novocaine too. I believe they used an older, precursor drug, Paleocaine.

"Primitive dentists drilled nearly perfect holes into live but undoubtedly unhappy patients between 5500 B.C. and 7000 B.C." ---
Hmmm ................... if these researchers could ascertain these nearly perfect holes..................... how hard is it to ascertain that hole in Ron Brown's head?
Hmmm?

I wonder if they had some plant that dulled the pain of the ancient dentists.
The government researchers in the Ron Brown case saw what they wanted US to see.
Business as usual.

When the Dentist said "Ok Now Spit" where did the patient spit? The sink wasn't invented yet.
To: The_Victor
Well, this was a timely post to read in view of the fact that I have an 11 AM appointment this morning to have a far left molar extracted.
At least I'm one-up on the ancients as I made a large package of Jello this morning and I'm defrosting some chicken soup I made last week.
I don't have any teradactyl eggs to scramble, though.....for which I'm grateful.

Like the Three Stooges used to do...they would call for anestitic and one of the Stooges would bop the guy over the head with a hammer.
