PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME:
In times past, there were some strange methods of easing a toothache. This includes smearing honey over teeth, which has a gruesome meaning in the way people believed what toothaches were. In the Middle Ages, people really thought toothaches were caused by tiny burrowing worms, so the reason honey was put on teeth was to draw them out! Bruxism or grinding teeth was once thought to be caused by ghosts or demonic possession so a human skull would be put nearby the patient as they slept. Ancient Romans used bodily fluids as a mouthwash. Also this was so common to get rid of teeth pains that there was a tax imposed on bottles of urine! Could this explain why the Romans had perfect teeth? More grotesque ways of caring for teeth in ancient times was crushed mice and also ground hooves, eggshells, ashes and seashells.
