Can you believe that brushing teeth only became popular during World War II? Back in the day, people didn’t have the opportunity to take care of their teeth like we do today.
As people aged, their teeth would rot, become super painful, and would eventually need to be pulled out. Ouch! There was no such thing as 6-month dental checkups or cleanings. There was no way of detecting or filling cavities. And…there definitely was no such thing as dental implants or dentures!
People used to use things like charcoal, chalk, lemon juice, ashes, and even with a mixture of honey and tobacco to clean their teeth! Just reading that is enough to make you squirm…and practically makes you want to go and brush your teeth immediately!
Today, we are so fortunate to have the means and technology to have clean and healthy teeth. Let this be your motivation to not take it for granted!
