Frank answer by frank above. What we know as herbal products are way of life for people in African and Asian countries. They chew leaves, tender branches and bark of certain trees and spit it out after few minutes, which keeps their teeth healthy. Their teeth may be shade whiter but look more so when seen in contrast to the color of their darker skin. Try toothpaste or tooth powder with Neem tree (Azadirachta indica) or Meswak, so to say herbal content in it, and hope it adds to your dental health.

I live in Africa ....some country called Botswana i think you have heard about the CKGR issue and Blood Diamonds think and the San people year it`s true that those people have white teeth i know them and i have been to the Kalahari desert many times but they have been relocated now so that they get new facilities and some basic needs.......the secret for their white teeth is due to HARD WATER from your science i think you know what hard water is drink a lot of it your teeth will be as white as theirs and your bones will be stronger than that of a person who drinks soft water.

Come on! We get to eat tons of chocolate and sugary stuff, in addition of drinking cola, coffee and other dark drinks. Of course our teeth will not be as good as them. They do not even get to eat a full meal a day, no sweet stuff for them thus very little of them actually gets a tooth decay.

They don't eat the junk foods that we do... likely because they are very poor and can barely find a good meal in the first place.

I have wondered about that and it's probably because we eat and they just don't eat the stuff we do that makes our teeth like that.

That's what happens when you don't EAT.
