The website of..Medievalists net this week has an article about dental care in the medieval centuries, and the various powders used to clean and whiten teeth, and also to freshen the breath. The study can be seen at Did Medieval People Have Bad Teeth and Bad Breath?
Looking, by coincidence, at an article in a ‘serious’ newspaper we do not seem anything as far advanced over the past five centuries as we no doubt like to think.
