Native American’s good oral hygiene
Unlike the Europeans, the Native people also practiced good oral hygiene and kept their teeth clean. They employed various methods, such as rubbing charcoal on the teeth, brushing with a chewing stick, and chewing minty herbs for fresher breath.
Not only did the Europeans have poor oral health, their diet played a major factor in the detriment of their teeth. One of the larger culprits being the insane amount of sugar consumed in their tea.
