Answers:
Hundreds of years ago, people didn’t know about brushing their teeth. Most had several cavities. Before toothpaste was invented, people used all kinds of dry, rough things to clean their teeth. They used things like crushed eggshell, pumice, and even the burnt hooves of animals. Before toothbrushes were invented, people used twigs or their fingers to brush their teeth.
