Their teeth just decayed!. I have a great aunt that died from an abscessed tooth in the early 1900's!. Dentistry, as we know it, hasn't been around that long!. Flouride was first added to water in the mid-1940's which helped delay cavities!.

Dental cavities were far less frequently seen amongst ancient Egyptians and Nubians than in today's populations!. !.

Some restorative dentistry from the Egyptian period has been seen!. In one mummy with missing teeth, three substitute teeth were in place skillfully threaded together to the abutment teeth with fine gold wire!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
