EnglishVedic Reference
EnglishDant, Danta, ‘tooth, ’ is frequently mentioned from the
Rigveda onwards.^1 Cleansing (dhāv) the teeth was an ordinary
act, especially in preparation for a sacrifice, and accompanied
bathing, shaving of the hair and beard (keśa-śmaśru), and the
cutting of the nails.^2 A hymn of the Atharvaveda^3 celebrates
the appearance of the first two teeth of a child, though its
exact interpretation is doubtful.^4 In the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^5
there is a reference to a child's first teeth falling out. The
word seems in the Rigveda^6 once to denote an elephant's tusk.
Whether dentistry was practised is doubtful. The occurrence
in the Aitareya Āraṇyaka^7 of Hiraṇya-dant, ‘gold-toothed, ’ as
the name of a man, is perhaps significant, especially as it is
certain that the stopping of teeth with gold was known at
Rome as early as the legislation of the Twelve Tables.^8
