Oof, watching this video made my jaw hurt... What's the craziest superstition or story around dental hygiene that you've heard of? (I'm a big fan of George Washington's insane variety of fake chompers personally)
Edit: Whoa, y'all really like the gross stuff huh? That's awesome, but we want to clarify: the bit between Rob and Matt is a joke Rob himself wrote for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, dental phobias are incredibly common and we wanted to make sure we didn't squick out anyone unnecessarily. Two, because dental medicine stagnated for a while during the Medieval era, the joke let us bridge ancient dentistry to more modern dentistry smoothly. Three, we didn't actually remove all that much detail from the procedures and tried to leave in enough that the bold of heart and strong of stomach and could go searching themselves, if they wanted to. But for those who want it, here's the elaboration from Rob:
ROMAN CIRCULAR SAW: Basically, they'd trephine the infected tooth open, then pack it with arsenic killing the nerve.
RED-HOT POKER: This was Celsus. When a gum ulcer did not respond to vinegar and chewing unripe pears and apples (?) he recommended cauterizing it with a red-hot iron (?!).
AS A MOUTHWASH?: Romans believed urine was a great mouthwash, especially the urine of young boys. Apparently, kids would make money by hanging out in alleys with cups for this purpose. (Oh, the glory that was Rome!)
ST. APPOLONIA: We covered it in the episode. Depending on the story a mob/Roman soldiers pulled out her teeth before her martyrdom.
And that's really it. Next week's episode is much more straightforward.
You couldve included the fact that Peter the Great was a dentist too
i wanna know that stuff... like please try and gross me out and just tell me damit
Show the nasty version! >:3
Would there be a way to read or hear the "gross" research/methods?
Upload the uncensored version!!
now wheres the uncensored brutal version? im with rob on this one :D
Yes please!
^
We are not scarred of reality, give us Rob's full version please.
We are waiting....
Yesssssssssssssss
I wish top hear the full history Rob so painfully researched for us. That brutality might just get some people to floss more regularly.
The mouth wash he referred to is urine. In ancient Rome people thought that urine from Iberia (Spain and Portugal) made excellent mouth wash.
They also used it to clean clothes
... kill me now
So what would gamer bath water do?
...did it work?
@@The123dino Considering their diet..melt your teeth and rot your gums in under two point eight seconds...
If you are going to omit "unpleasant" parts of the video for the feelings of some viewers, could you have a second upload of the missing parts because its just making me want to click off the video tbh
The half-joke explanatory-asides felt very unnecessary and distracting. The initial explanation of why details are missing, plus a link to a "full" video would have been sufficient.
Humor has never been the narrator's strong suit. I preferred the old one's elegance
Just watch the lies video
OK bye
better yet, make the video uncencored to begin with and put a link to the censored version below, or just, ya know, have some integrity and don't censor it to begin with.
We can handle the brutal. Just use the you-standing-at-the-podium image to lessen the gore/unsavory factor
Screw that I want all the gore animated like everything else.
Thank you for the censored version of the history of Dentistry. Just listening to some of the accounts brings back some less fond memories of my forensic pathology class. My professor did his masters thesis in forensic dentistry. And oh! Boy! Those were not pretty pictures to sit through........
Wow, someone who actually agrees with me. All this "bring on the guts and gore" talk I think is honestly somewhat immature. I'd like to learn the details too, but some people just get grossed out. It’s not glossing over history, it’s rememberring that not everyone has guts of steel.
6:20 I want to hear about it. Maybe make section where you talk about that stuff?
A part of me died when you put Neanderthals and the Neolitihic in the same sentence
Yeah... "Neanderthals" followed by "15,000 years ago." Please.
Kwuhy: I swear to the gods I'll guard that booty
Pharaoh: I think you might be taking this to seriously.
Kwuhy: I AM THE DEFFENDER OF THE BUTT!
Player as Dentist: "I cast magic missile into the patients mouth."
DM: "You succeeded in killing the tooth worm but most of the tooth in his mouth explodes except two of his front tooth. He's going to sue you for malpractice."
This is stupid. If you can't listen about violence then you shouldn't be watching anything history related
Whats stupid is people bitching like crybabies on a video that depicts history in most cartoonish manners possible, and had more often than not censored gory details much more relevant than this, like the death of Gracchi's.
3:21 idk why this exact frame got me dying of laughter even thought I too fear dentists
Hollow Knight grub suck our teeth apparently
An idea: a lot of people, myself included, wish to see the apparently quite literally gory details. I would suggest A) making an extended ep with all the details included and a content warning, B) call in an artist that wouldn't have mush issue in tackling the visuals, C) most importantly, put it to patreon.
"Rob who hurt you?" I lost it
The early believers of the superstitions were the OG Essential Oils lady
This episode reminds me that, despite being a history nerd, I would have serious qualms about going back in time rather than forward with a time machine.
"You are a tooth wizard, Harry!" (Rob, you are a man after my own heart!)
people absolutely want to see the details @Extra Credits
release uncensored version plz
As a very soon to be dentist, with a casual but ever present interest in magic... THIS WAS COOL AS FUCK, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.
It's been a few years, have we ever learned who hurt Rob?
Because that exchange was funny.
Barbers and travelling teeth-pullers for sure, but in rural areas, dental services were provided by local strong men with skill and pliers- meaning smiths. Wives of smiths were also usually seeked out as herbalists.
Dear extra history team,
If you’re going to talk about history, please actually talk about it. Some people can’t handle certain topics and that’s understandable, so maybe they just shouldn’t watch that topic. Your flu pandemic series was amazing and the detail and care are what I come here for. Please don’t water down your history so much, it really, truly, only hurts; more than any toothache. We want the details. You should know this.
Yours truly,
Lexi.
Uncensored version please. This is super interesting.
The tooth worm lives on in Japanese!
The word for an oral cavity is "mushiba", 虫歯. The Chinese characters mean "bug, worm" and "tooth".
Not many people know why this is, and if pressed will guess the 虫 part is in reference to tooth-decay-causing bacteria. Or that ancient Chinese medicine believed that all ailments in the body were the work of bad bugs.
The bit about the mouthwash probably referred to the ancient Roman practice of using human urine to wash out the mouth. Apparently the urine from a Portuguese slave was considered to be superior to all others for this purpose. Because urine contains a high amount of ammonia, it actually would whiten teeth.
many theories point to the elusive "tooth worm" actually being the tooth's nerve ending... so pulling out "tooth worms" was... YIKES
I'm waiting on my new dental policy to kick in in November to go to the dentist. This was interesting.
Once again, as a Minnesotan, I find this sponsorship happening again to be weirdly specific
God, did you have to put 'Dentist' in the title. Already got one ad related to it first time watching this and I know I'm going to get a few dozen more
Also Neanderthals died out around 40,00 years ago, 13,000 YA is 27,000 yeas after the end of the Neanderthals.
There's a mummy at the Royal Ontario Museum, Djed-maat-es-ankh, who we know died of a cavity the size of a quarter.
I love the nitty gritty details
You guys are wizards! You can make anything sound interesting, Magic: the gathering, Cholera research, and Dentistry! How do you do it?
Dude: my teeth are hurting what do I do?
Dentist: Just kiss your mothers skull with a bunch o candles bro
Dude: *understandable have a great day*
Yes, I too remember Dr.Barber from FlapJack
Make two versions, the real version and the version for those who think not learning actual history is important.
When my dad was 16 he had many of his teeth drilled, with a pedal driven drill, to allow the abscesses to drain. By the age of 30 he had a complete upper plate and a partial lower plate.
Sept 2019 - We are not going to have another flu pandemic episode...
wait like 6 months... the world may be in a different place in early 2020
I legitimately would have liked to hear about the more painful practices in dentistry
On "squeamish" viewers: if you go fishing, don't complain that the fish are wet. The history of dentistry will include: dentistry.
I support censoring some of the more gruesome details for most of these episodes. I know lots of people are squeamish about blood and medical procedures and the like, me included. Censoring some of the gruesome details probably kept lots of those squeamish people watching and learning, me included. I'm slightly uncomfortable watching this, because of the sheer grossness in some of this, but I definitely would have clicked away had you gone into the blood and gore of dentistry.
Maybe one or two episodes could be blood and gore for those who want it, with a warning at the start for those who are squeamish. I know a lot of people want to hear about the gross procedures (not me though), so a special episode including the blood and gore at the end of the series would satisfy them, while allowing those who just want to learn the history to watch with only mild discomfort. Thanks EC!
Go, Rob, go! Don't let yourself be silenced by the squirmish and cowardly, but stryfe on to teach us who are without fear all the disgusting, depraved ways mankind has used to heal teeth. We want knowledge and to its full extent.
Thus said, my dentist wrote me the other day that it's high time for a checkup...
I WANT THE MESSY DETAILS! Make me squirm in my seat! Bring it on!
You can say what you will about modern dentistry, but I can tell you that brushing your teeth doesn't always work. Never drinking soda, that might work. Shame I never realized that within the first year of drinking soda daily.
For a moment I thought you had started doing targeted ads. I never hear state-specific ads on other channels. Neat.
The end of the video - "20 years-almost-adult" lol, you America so silly. 20 years old "babies" ...
Perfect timing on that joke cause I was sure about to click away. While I have no fear of the dentist or getting work done, boy oh boy is "teeth stuff" just the one thing in life that makes me sqeemish
06:40 People DO want to see that.
please upload uncensored, this leaves out so much, what's the point of making this if you don't mention the actual stuff they did? and more importantly, who watches a video about ancient dentistry expecting not to see brutal stuff?
I knew about the link between poor oral health and risk or heart disease, but I've always wondered if poor diet it the compunding factor for both, creating a strong correlation but no causation.
You tell me a thing everyone is talking about India from Ted Ed to extra credits and simple history to infographics .I think India is the most civilised society in world also one of my brother is world's 3rd best doctor and we are from India.
India is great
Dentist here, would love to see the uncensored version 👀
Doctor Barber misadventures of flapjack!
........I'm really about to sit hear and learn about the history of dentistry.....aight
the flu series upset some people? my mother is a nurse so I'm gonna be honest I'm pretty numb to stuff like that, so its one of my favorites
8:10 Ah, yes, good to see you Dr. Barber
Who else here bust out laughing at the guardian of the ass title
I really want the entire history please
Real talk your interpretation of tooth worms are adorable
Wait wait wait... There are people grossed out with the Flu Pandemic series?
I thought this is Extra History, not Extra Hystery. I hope the sponsorship helps you enough to do proper, non washed out videos in the future.
I would also like the uncensored version 😌
Dentists are now 10% more metal
Agree with the other commenters. Watch the show for the history, not just the shiny bits.
Uncensored version please!
Can we get cut out parts as wall of text or something like that? Just link it in description and those of us who want to read can do it.
Poor Rob. I want to be able to read his script.
Thumbs up if you want EC to #ReleaseTheRobCut
I GOT A GROSS TOOTH STORY!
When I was a kid I had a particularly stubborn baby tooth that wouldn't come out so my mom had to do the hand extraction thing and _b o y o h b o y did that hurt_
Yeah that's it. _So much blood. So much pinching._
now i am curious what did they use as a mouthwash????
8:23 EXTRA HISTORY!!!! STOP DRAWING PLAGUE DOCTORS AS ACTUAL DOCTORS, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
What’s the point of telling history if you skip over the gruesome parts?
Oh come on I wanna know more about the first dental procedures and using red hot pokers
1:39- I actually did thus twice in 7th grade in school for no reason but for fun. I extracted two of my teeth in separate days, week and momths, nearly 4-6 months apart, with my hands, in school. I did it because the I love the taste of human (at least my own) blood. Also, I am vegetarian, so don't go vegan teacher on me because I "probably eat meat of poor, poor animals for the taste of blood".
Give us a video with ALL the details
We need a Rob Cut for those of us with invincible stomachs #releasetherobcut
I want some special Rob detailed episode!
"As a mouthwash"
Yeah..it's piss.
But I want all the horrific details .. I WANT THEM ALL IM NOT AFRAID! XD
Im with Rob
I like "specific" things
Miracle of Walpole...lol
I can't believe he skipped the piss wash
MAKE EXTRA CREDITS UNCENSORED AGAIN !
4:10 I see you rob!
wheres the uncencored version :D??
UNCUT VERSION! UNCUT VERSION! UNCUT VERSION!
Anyone else find the tooth worm worse than any graphic tooth extraction stuff? Rob, we plead with thee; we need to know! There was literally “guardian of the anus” in this!
*gets to one of the most fascinating parts*
"Ah! ROb ThAt's ToO MuCH DeTAil!!"
😑
It's such a tease!
That was a line actual made by rob himself
Damn! I wanted to hear the nasty details! That's a vital and very interesting part of Dental history.
Ya, this just feels neutered.
Same, i used to watch surgical amputations, and laparoscopic surgeries for....education. Yeah😁
Ross Calhoun that’s how extra credits is nowadays :/
Tbf I do think that miiiight actually be because this episode is sponsored by a health checkup program; the sponsor prooobably didn’t too many gruesome details when they’re trying to get kids to approach health in a positive way. I do agree though, I would also like to know the more, uh, “interesting” details hehe.
@@schmurble2254 but this was back in the day and they are a health clinicthere's a bunch of gross discussing details both in the past and present about surgery and dental care I feel like that's not an excuse
You can't really blame these people for believing the lies of tooth worms and demons.
After all, they couldn't really handle the tooth.
NO. YOU. DID. NOT.
Badum tsss
😂😂😂😂
Hi, Sans.
I want an uncensored version of this that goes jnto more details.
I would recommend Sawbones for that. Iirc they covered dentistry in one of their episodes.
King Slushie101 the fact that they got „I know y’all can be squeamish, so we’ll be gentle!“ and *all* the comments are „GIVE US THE PAIN!!!“
But that would be TrIgGeRiNg!
#ReleaseTheRobCut
Yea I feel like people who are uncomfortable with this topic would of never opened the video in the first place
What? The flu episodes were great! Got me interested enough to read a whole book on the subjet
Wait, people complained about the flu episodes? Those were great and pretty harmless tbh
The plague episode of Justinian were the real nightmare fuel
@@dakkarnemo1094 lol. they were way more soft before, you couldn't show gay ppl holding hands, medical female anatomy, colored people voting, drag queens. We can definitely watch way more things now than before.
I bet that most people who complained were anti-vaccers or overprotective helicopter parents. The kind of people a sane and sensible society ignores.
Agreed!
@@manekrudolph728 yet that hold nothing to the people who actually experienced the event
The flu pandemic series was one of my favourites. People need to know, they need to appreciate how dangerous microorganisms are, and how even the most innocuous-seeming cold or flu (in a society of rapid world travel) could be the beginning of the end.
What are you talking about? The Flu Pandemic Series is awesome...
I know right? They are bit chilling, but they're awesome to listen to :D
Think of the kids
Stefan Stefanovic The children have to learn someday. Besides, they tend to love the gross stuff. At least, my 6th grade students do.
That one might be my favorite
@@stefanking98, which kids would voluntarily watch a video on the history of dentistry unless they already know a great deal about history?
The Flu Pandemic is my favorite series of y'alls. I'd love a more detailed dental history.
Are you seriously saying there was backlash over the graphic nature of the Flu Pandemic series?
Some people said ew gross so that means teaching history was a mistake
Welcome to progressivism
@@Lazypackmule That's... Not at all how that works.
These history episodes are sometimes played in schools, and if they get too gruesome they can violate rating limitations for what can be shown in class without a permission slip saying their parents consent to their child watching it, which can lead to parent backlash against the school(s).
The parents most prominent in this regard tend to be parents with conservative Christian values, not progressive ones.
@@Lazypackmule Hey come on now, there's a big difference between being progressive and being a whiny asshole. I encourage anyone not to conflate the two.
@@CockatooDude I understand that perspective, but frankly if there is a difference its wafer thin these days
@@MrGemHunter you sound really american when you say stuff like that. do you need us to crowdfund you an education?
Lazy p, you too? Are you willing to get one if offered for free?
You know, I actualy really wanted to hear the gruesome details.
Me to
@@halfcool5014 *too
@Nathan Springer well hello there. You are like the shorter me..... (your name) :-)
@Nathan Springer and we have the same minds as well :-)
People, such as the ancient Romans, used to use urine as mouthwash.
R.I.P. rob's script
killed by: A COWARD WHO CAN'T HANDLE THE MENTION OF BLOOD WHILE TALKING ABOUT DENTISTRY!
It's not about cowardice. Some people just naturally have a weak stomach, stop being an asshole. If everyone always explained the gross details, those who can't stomach that couldn't learn. It's good to also have someone who doesn't explain them, so a wider audience can enjoy it.
look at there comment. the rob stuff was a joke WRITTEN BY ROB.
