The Maya invented dentistry. But not for teeth health or cleanliness – they were all about aesthetic. Mayan dentists would drill into patients teeth and precisely place gemstones in the cavity. So precisely, in fact, that most skeletons’ teeth still hold their gemstones, a thousand years later. And Mayan dentistry was not just for the wealthy or powerful. Citizens from all classes had their teeth filled with gemstones!
