Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Extended version - Dentists in Middle Earth ?
At the party scene, Merry and Pippin stole a firework. When they get caught by Gandalf, if you look carefully, one of the Hobbit has a grey amalgam (tooth filling) on one of his upper molar.
So? Let's assume for a moment that it truly is a filling and not a chunk of food or somesuch. Is it unbelievable that Middle Earth would have dentists? Especially among a race like Hobbits, who are known for both curiosity & eating (which would foster an interest in healthy teeth)?
