Here's how people back in the day took care of their teeth:
Drinking goats milk for sweet breath
Ashes from burnt mice heads, rabbits heads, wolves heads, ox heels and goats feet were thought to benefit the gums. (This probably wouldn't go over very well today)
Picking the bones out of wolves excrement and wearing them (maybe in the form of a necklace?) was considered to be a form of protection against toothaches.
Washing your teeth with the blood from a tortoise three times a year was a sure bet against toothaches as well.
Mouthwashes were known to consist of pure white wine, or (get ready for this one) old urine kept especially for this purpose.
Stupid, huh?

Old sailors used to keep their urine in a big barrel, and that is what they washed their clothes in. Eventually, in the barrel, all the urine smell went away and they were left with amonia and it cleaned clothes fairley well...compared to not washing them at all I guess.
