That, and anesthesia. Up until the Victorian era, dentistry was done wide awake and without painkillers of any kind.

Discusses the beginnings of anesthesia in dentistry. They experimented with laughing gas, ether, and the like. Even chloroform was tried.
Here's a wiki about the man who first used ether in dental procedures, his story is fairly interesting too. It was seen as a huge leap at the time.
