Fauchard
Okay kiddo, have you ever been to the dentist before? Do you remember the tools that the dentist uses to clean your teeth? Well, a long time ago, dentists didn't have those tools, and people's teeth were not as healthy.
That's where a man named Pierre Fauchard comes in. He lived a long time ago, back in the 1700s, and he is considered the father of modern dentistry. He invented lots of new tools and techniques to help dentists take better care of people's teeth.
One of the tools he invented is called a fauchard. It's a special kind of dental instrument that dentists use to clean and scrape teeth. It has a long, thin handle with a curve at the end, and a sharp or rounded blade on the other end.
Dentists use the fauchard to remove tartar and plaque from teeth, to polish the surfaces of teeth, and to do other kinds of dental work. Thanks to Fauchard's inventions, dentists today have many different tools and techniques to keep our teeth healthy and strong.
