Actaully they use to use Sugar because it was grainy and thought that it would clean their teeth! I guess they found out the hard way! Lol

The Romans used urine first thing in the morning to swish around in their mouths to keep their teeth clean and bright. The reason for this was that the mornings are when the ammonia levels are highest in urine and was the method of choice at that time.

Toothpicks perhaps? I definately think people have been picking food out of their teeth and scraping them with their fingernails since the dawn of time. If you go to the zoo you'll see apes picking their teeth. Once, I saw one smiling in a mirror while picking stuff out of its teeth.

I think they may have picked out food with their fingernails and then rinsed with water or maybe they used really stiff dried grass or small twigs for toothpicks. Most people's teeth probably just rotted and fell out or had to be pulled.

Actually some used herbs such as mint to freshen breath, others used certain barks. The wealthy used soda (like baking soda) on a cloth.

Some probably didn't but some would use strings or something similar. Plus certain foods can clean the teeth better than others. Drinking lots of water helps keep them healthy!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They just let it go until they all fell out,one by one. Often a toothless person would end up dying of malnutrition,depending on the tribe's basic diet. if they were meat-eaters,he wasn't long for this world.

I have been told that rubbing the teeth with soot cleaned them and chewing parsley sweetened the breath.

I really don't know... I bet their breath was terrible. What I would do is chewing worms. Hey! Don't think this answer was gross. Someone up there said they used urine.. like an old time Listerine.
