Dr Sisson was still checking teeth in Mexico! 🇲🇽 Did you know, Ancient Mesoamericans, including the Aztecs and Maya, were highly advanced in cosmetic dentistry. They expertly drilled precise holes into teeth to inlay precious gemstones like jade and turquoise. 💎 Unlike European practices of the time, they also prioritized preventative care, using herbal pastes, charcoal polishing, and metal scrapers for tartar removal.
