In ancient times the importance to oral hygiene was already
taken, diseases were often considered a punishment of the gods
for offenses inflicted on them. Subsequently, dental caries was
attributed to vitiated bodily fluids or worms. The medicine of Greek
and Roman times are the problems of teething (Hippocrates, 460-
377 BC, Galen, 130-200 AD) persistent milk teeth (Celso, 25 BC JC
50 Be JC) and the presence of erupted teeth in newborns (Pliny
the Elder, 23-79 AD JC).In 1743 Rober Bunon, “Father of Pediatric
Dentistry.” Other authors who also intervened in the birth of this
specialty were LT Duchein (1759) and ND Dechément (1804) in
France and Z. Fraenkel (1817) in Denmark. In Mexico, caries is a
public health problem that affects about 95% of children under
8 years of age and even 99% of adults.
