False teeth have been found in Italy in human heads that are over 2

，

500

years

old.

were

made

of

bone

and

gold.

，

for

hundreds

of

years

afterwards

，

the

apparent

dental

skill

of

those

early

people

was

lost. Without false teeth people looked old before their time

，

since so

many lost their teeth at an early age.

Toward

the

end

of

the

17th

century

，

rich

people

could

buy

false

teeth

made from ivory. The teeth were tied together with silk thread

，

but it

was difficult to keep them in the mouth. That was why rich people would

rather buy teeth from the poor who would often sell their teeth to buy

food and clothing.

French doctor used steel springs to hold

teeth

in

place.

century

teeth.
