More than 300 years ago, Pierre Fauchard—known as the father of modern dentistry—laid the foundation for the dental science we practice today. Long before germ theory or modern research, he was the first to recognize that sugary diets were linked to tooth decay, challenging older beliefs that blamed worms or supernatural causes.

Fauchard also pioneered the idea of cleaning decayed parts of a tooth and filling the cavity to restore its shape and function—what we now call dental fillings. His groundbreaking book, Le Chirurgien Dentiste (The Surgeon Dentist), introduced clinical methods still used in dental care today. His legacy marks the beginning of dentistry as a scientific and preventive medical field, not just a mechanical trade.
