Who was pulling out teeth in the West in the 18th century?

In medieval Europe, under the instructions of physicians, surgeons and barber-surgeons were allowed to perform treatment that entails bleeding, such as operations, bloodletting and incisions of abscess.
Those who treated the mass were fake doctors, such as those called “charlatans” or “quacks.” They would go around towns in horse and buggy, beating a drum and blowing a trumpet to draw people, and demonstrate dental extraction like a show. The sounds of these musical instruments were in part designed to drown out patients’ scream due to pain. How these charlatans or quacks extracted a tooth was drawn in a large number of Western block prints. French dentist Pierre Fauchard compiled approximately 20 years of clinical practice of dentistry and published a book titled the Surgeon Dentist in 1728. As he put together dentistry from a scientific perspective, he is called the father of modern dentistry.8.
