Anesthesiology has been the practice of dentistry since dentists Horace Wells (1844) and William T. G. Morton (1846) first discovered the miracle of anesthesia for painless surgery by administering nitrous oxide and diethyl ether, respectively. Fortunately for the good of mankind, Dr Morton administered it for a patient of the chief of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, John Collins Warren, MD, who was a dean at the Harvard Medical School and a primary founder of the . Dr Warren was absolutely amazed that Dr Morton kept his patient quietly asleep during the operation instead of having to listen to the painful screaming that always accompanied all surgery at that time. It was reported that he famously said of Morton's demonstration, “Gentlemen, this is no humbug.” Dr Warren made certain that this most important discovery was published and made available to all doctors around the world. Both the American Dental Association (ADA) (1864) and the American Medical Association (1870) gave credit to Dr Wells as the discoverer of anesthesia, but Dr Morton's successful public demonstration was especially significant for changing dentistry and medicine forever because of Dr Warren's powerful endorsement and lofty position he held in the worldwide medical community.

Morton（1846）首次通过分别使用一氧化二氮和乙醚发现无痛手术麻醉的奇迹以来，麻醉学就一直是牙科的实践。幸运的是，为了人类的福祉，莫顿博士将其用于马萨诸塞州总医院外科主任约翰·科林斯·沃伦（John Collins Warren）的患者，他曾是哈佛医学院的院长，也是哈佛大学的主要创始人。沃伦医生对莫顿医生在手术期间让患者安静地入睡而不必在那时总是伴随着所有手术伴随着痛苦的尖叫声感到非常惊讶。据报道，他对莫顿的示威活动颇有名气：“先生们，这不是骗子。”沃伦博士确定这一最重要的发现已经发表并提供给世界各地的所有医生。美国牙科协会（ADA）（1864年）和美国医学协会（1870年）都把韦尔斯博士视为麻醉的发现者，但是由于沃伦博士的强大能力，莫顿博士成功的公开示威对于永远改变牙科和医学尤其重要。他在全球医学界中的认可和崇高地位。
