Maybe it's because they jab sharp metal objects into your gums and then tell you that your gums shouldn't be bleeding, or maybe it's because long ago, a dentist invented machine spun cotton candy - one of the most sugary foods of all time.
Cotton Candy was first created in the 18th Century. However, spun sugar was a treat only the wealthy could enjoy because it was labour intensive endeavour.
In 1898, a dentist named William Morrison and John C. Wharton. The sugary delight wasn't first sold to the public until 1904, making it's début appearance at The World's Fair!
