The ancients rarely pulled out their teeth when they had tooth decay, but chose to apply traditional Chinese medicine externally.

For tooth decay, the ancients believed that after eating sweets, the stomach fire rose and the humidity increased, resulting in tooth decay, which would continue to multiply and constantly erode the teeth, resulting in tooth decay. **The way of tooth decay is to kill the moths hidden in the tooth surface, usually with some traditional Chinese medicine to make ointment, and then put it in the mouth, after killing the cavity, the tooth will not hurt, and the tooth decay will be good.

Many medical books have documented the drug for tooth decay. Most of them are mixed with anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory herbs such as Coptis chinensis, skullcap, and manzhi kernel and ground into a powder. Then apply them to the area of toothache.

In addition, there is also a method of acupuncture, find the "Lu Xi" acupoint, and then prick the needle, which can also relieve pain, but this method should treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is easy. Another, more stupid, way is to recite incantations, go dancing, find a wizard to recite some incantations, supposedly able to ** dental disease. Obviously, this approach is unlikely to work, at most some psychological comfort.

All in all, there were many ways to cause tooth decay in ancient times, but now it seems that there is basically no one root cause of tooth decay. However, fortunately, the diet of the ancients was relatively light, and they often used salt water and tea to rinse their mouths, and there were relatively few people suffering from dental disease.

A good way to prevent tooth decay: pay attention to oral hygiene; Get regular dental check-ups.

Specific methods for preventing tooth decay (i.e., tooth decay) are as follows:

Develop good brushing habits: once in the morning and once in the evening;

Eat a balanced diet: Eat more foods containing vitamin C, vitamin D, and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus;

Regular oral examination: oral examination every six months, early detection and early **;

Eat less snacks, especially sweets: Eating snacks will affect the eating of the main meal, and will also make the food remain in the teeth for a longer time, which will allow the growth of tooth-corroding microorganisms and accelerate the damage of teeth;

Use the correct brushing method: choose an appropriate toothbrush and do not brush your teeth too hard; When brushing your teeth, tilt the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle from the edge of the gums, from the inside to the outside, so that both the tooth surface and the gums can be brushed.

Factors leading to tooth decay: There are food residues on the tooth surface that produce a large number of bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus, and a large number of bacteria in the plaque produce acid, causing decalcification and dissolution of the enamel surface under the plaque.

Ancient people ate relatively light, and for ancient people, sugar is not a very common food, and although ancient people did not have a toothbrush, they can rinse their mouths with salt water, and they are not easy to grow tooth decay, but if they grow, ancient people generally do not choose to pull it out, but use some drugs in the mouth to relieve pain to achieve the best effect.

If the ancient people had tooth decay, they could only endure the pain, and finally the teeth fell out by themselves, and the ancient level of science and technology would not ** tooth decay, so they could only endure the pain and wait for the tooth to fall out

I don't think it's likely that there will be tooth decay in ancient times, and even if they did, they should just ignore it, the parents of the body.

I don't know if they will know that it is tooth decay, and then it may be to find a way not to eat, to prevent the pain, or to extract the tooth.

I think it must have been tooth extraction, but I don't think ancient people would have had tooth decay because sugar was very expensive at that time.

In ancient times, if there was tooth decay, it should be through tooth extraction, but it will not give numbing to the gums. So it's painful for them to have their teeth extracted.

Ancient people should have let it hurt when they had tooth decay, or how could other painkillers extract their teeth, there is no such technology.

If you have tooth decay and toothache, you should only use some home remedies or some medicines to clear heat and reduce fire. Otherwise, you can only wait for the tooth decay to fall off on its own.

In ancient times, if people had tooth decay, most of them would not choose to extract the tooth, but used some medicine to relieve the pain and harm.

It must have been extracted, according to records, the ancients were very particular about tooth extraction, some people also had to calculate the time and so on, and they couldn't throw it away after tooth extraction.

I felt that I should have had my teeth extracted, because only by extracting my teeth would I be able to stop suffering from tooth decay.

Put raw peppercorns in your mouth (do not spit saliva), repeat for half an hour to an hour, and then it will not continue to hurt.
