The First Recorded Dentist In The World ...Was...The Black Man...Hesy-Ra...From Kemet!

(The Love ToothBrush Patent  #D363,820  November 7, 1995.)

Hesy-Ra (also read Hesire and Hesy-Re) 

is recognized as the first 'Named Dentist in 

Human History,' who had a notable title, 

Wer-ibeḥsenjw, which meant, "Great One of 

the Ivory cutters" or "Great One of the Dentists." 

He lived in the Kemet Region, which was later 

named Egypt after Alexander the Great conquered 

the area in 332 BC, ending the Pharaonic rule.

Hesy-Ra served under the Pharaoh Djoser who 

ruled during the Third Dynasty, and the 

First Dentist who was Black has 

a tomb in Saqqara 

which exhibits intricate paintings and 

beautifully-carved wooden panels.

Dental Hygiene School Just Might Hold A Big Breakthrough For You!

Many community colleges, four-year colleges, 

and universities offer dental hygiene education 

programs. The Commission on Dental 

Accreditation can help to find a program 

near you. A dental hygiene associate degree 

can be obtained from an accredited dental 

hygiene program, which may last two to 

three years and include periodontics, medical 

ethics, and anatomy. Classroom, lab, and clinical 

work may need to be completed. A dental 

hygiene bachelor's degree and master's degree 

will allow the holder to teach, conduct research 

and perform clinical work in a school 

or public health program.

Your Mouth's Biofilm Is Always There...Whether You Like it Or Not!

The Love ToothBrush Patent  #D363,820  November 7, 1995.

Dental biofilm is a three-demensional 

structure of syntrophic microorganisms 

that adhere to each other and to a surface. 

The bacteria and other microbiome cells 

are encased in a slimy extracellular 

matrix made up of extracellular polymeric 

substances, and has been described as 

'cities for microbes.' Biofilms can 

develop on living and nonliving surfaces. 

Single microbial cells platonically floating 

in the liquid medium of saliva actually 

change their physiological function once 

they become embedded in the matrix of 

the biofilm, and can then become involved 

in tooth decay and gum disease. 

Dental biofilm can evolve, thicken, and mature

 if not removed and can eventually calcify 

into hardened calculus.
