I’ve been wondering this for a while.

How did people keep their teeth clean before the invention of conventional tooth brushes and tooth paste?

In ancient drawings, people were depicted as having white teeth like today, so how did they do it?

People seem to have used toothpicks, they were known from 3000 BC in Sumer and were a common element in Roman ‘pocket sets’. Simple sticklike toothbrushes were also used by the Romans. (Ones with bristles originated in China about AD 1000, where they were used with powder made from soap beans). Unfortunately, the positive effects of attempts at oral hygiene in the Roman world were ruined by the use of tooth powders with abrasive ingredients such a semery, those made teeth look nice and shiny but at the same time ground away the surface, exposing the pulp.

Skeletons from medieval times that ahve been examined have shown very little tooth decay. In ‘Medieval Lives’, Terry Jones writes:

‘When the graveyard at Wharram Percy was excavated, archaeologists found 687 peasant skeletons, enoughj for them to draw some firm conclusions about health and ageing. There was very little tooth decay – none in any of the children’s skeletons. In fact the medieval diet, with lots of coarse grains and grit in the bread, was much better for human teeth than our own. It meant they were worn down to a flat plane leaving no crevices in which food could fester. But fossilized plaque in some skeletons teeth does suggest that many of the people at Wharram Percy ha dsuffered from chronic bad breath. This was a bit of an issue in medieval times, Wales a woman could divorce her husband on the grounds of his halitosis.’

Or skin bleaching in general. The bleaching agent will be implemented by a good dermatologist of course.

Here is a web page listing side effects for this.

I am not going to be mean. My friend just got them and we were trying to come up with new names for people with braces. So far we got brace face, metal mouth, train tracks, magnet mouth, cheese grater, motor mouth. I also got Titanium Tattle Tale.

There’s always Jaws (the James Bond villain, not the shark).

I was wondering how most dentists pay off their student loans and are able to still have the quality lives they deserve. Also, how much more do you have to pay back if you decide to specialize (e.g. ortho)? Answers from dentists are highly encouraged.

thankssss

You have to pay them all back even if you specialize. Most dentist take the maximum amount of time allowed to pay them back because their interest is lower and when first starting out in practice, you do not have a lot of money rolling in.

she does this a lot to me, she smiles with her eyes, stops wrinkles her nose and then smiles, what does it mean?, cause i don’t see her doing it to other people

If you can’t figure that yourself, you a weak chain in this world.
