How did people brush their teeth before the invention of the toothbrush? Were everybody's teeth just rotted out or what?
Well, I would say that each civilization had their own way of taking care of their teeth. For example, the egyptians used camel hair. The Native Americans rubbed a paste made from the cucacua plant on their teeth. Our ancient ancestors, the Neanderthal are thought to have used the birch of the Cloya tree. Peasants in the middle ages had the worst hygeine in history. It was almost unheard of for one to have a full set of teeth by his or her 18th birthday. There is a very concise history of tooth care throughout history at www.dentistryinhistory.com . You ought to check it out.
Wow, thanks, I really appreciate your quick answer! It is nice to know that there are so many intelligent people on this website.
He soaks them in a glass of water overnight. A king of Spain once said "I never let water pass my lips- so many diseases in it." Someone asked: "What about when you clean your teeth, then?" "Oh" says His Maj, "I've got rather a nice dry white wine for that."
considering you tag line is "the coffee keeps me awake" please tell me you at least do something. The halitosis otherwise would be unbearable.
Three years is hardly a good time to make a reasonable assumption. Come back to us in 10 or 20 years and tell us how much nicer your dentures are... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
You do know you can get organic tooth paste. Or if you brush your teeth with baking soda that does it too. Like Tom's of maine toothpaste. Or chewing parsely. I use a herbal kind made mostly of baking soda and um salt of some kind (I think) made locally.
you can't be bothered to walk up to your fridge take out the box of baking sode, mix a bit in your palm with water and rub it on your teeth. THERE YOU HAVE IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE LAZIEST MAN ON EARTH! Apathetic youth of America be shamed! You've been out lazied again!
