my mother is a dentist.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A dentist, also known as a dental surgeon, is a surgeon who specializes in dentistry, the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity. The dentist's supporting team aids in providing oral health services. The dental team includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and in some states, dental therapists. In China as well as France, the first people to perform dentistry were barbers. They have been categorized into 2 distinct groups: guild of barbers and lay barbers. The first group, the Guild of Barbers, was created to distinguish more educated and qualified dental surgeons from lay barbers. Guild barbers were trained to do complex surgeries. The second group, the lay barbers, were qualified to perform regular hygienic services such as shaving and tooth extraction as well as basic surgery. However, in 1400 France made decrees prohibiting lay barbers from practicing all types of surgery. In Germany as well as France from 1530 to 1575 publications completely devoted to dentistry were being published. Ambrose Pare, often known as the Father of Surgery, published his own work about the proper maintenance and treatment of teeth.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "So what are your thoughts on going to the dentist?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Funny you should ask, I just went to the dentist on Wednesday.  I was recently told how dentistry originated in China.  I had no idea."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I had no idea either! I bet dentistry was really messed up back then"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well actually barbers were the ones to perform hygienic services as well as surgeries.  Scary, right??!!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Haha I would not trust my barber with my teeth! I'm guessing no pain relief either?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Probably not.  So I guess you aren't alone since France made decress prohibiting barbers from practicing all types of surgery in 1400.  Wise move I think."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is a lot earlier than I thought. I'm pretty sure I visited a Napoleonic era ship and they still had a ships barber doing the surgery!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well now that's fascinating!  I read where publications devoted to dentistry began to be published in the 1530's.  So to answer your first question, I'm really not fond of going to the dentist...or the barber now lol.  "}, {"role": "user", "content": "Well in that case it makes sense to combine the two, so you only have to make one visit. I just hope they don't use the same tools for both jobs."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "No razors or scissors in my mouth, thank you.  Thank goodness for modern medicine!"}]
