Comment Dentistry? (Score 2) 278
Anyone who doesn't think things haven't changed lately should ask someone born in the 1940's to a) see their teeth and b) ask what going to the dentist was like as a kid. Fluoride and air-powered drills are two of the things I'm thankful for.
My father told horror stories of the foot-pedal powered drill his dentist used. And he had horrible, horrible teeth, all of his molars were either filled or capped, and he was religious about brushing. My mother's not much better. I've had one cavity in my life, and I have friends who have had none.
