Before drinking water was fluorinated as a norm in the 20th century, the health aspects of tooth decay assumed gigantic proportions and many in the population suffered from severe dental conditions.
Therefore traditional medicine and herbal practitioners from the old days to the nineteenth century, were concerned and attempted and discovered many herbs that aid in the protection of teeth, this was very necessary in a time in which dental hygiene would have been otherwise unknown or primitive.
