dentist
1759, from Fr. dentiste, from L. dens (gen. dentis) "tooth," from PIE base *dont-, *dent- (see tooth).
"Dentist figures it now in our newspapers, and may do well enough for a French puffer, but we fancy Rutter is content with being called a tooth-drawer" ["Edinburgh Chronicle," Sept. 15, 1759].Tooth-drawer is attested from 1393.
