    The ancients also had a special profession for tooth extraction, and some people even used vises to extract teeth, but this method of tooth extraction is very dangerous, secondly, studies have shown that long-term chewing of more difficult foods can make people's jaws wider, thereby reducing the chance of wisdom teeth, while the food of the ancients was relatively coarse, and wisdom teeth were relatively less painful.

    Of course, people in ancient times didn't need to have wisdom teeth extracted, because they would use them when they ate, and the food they ate was relatively coarse, so they needed to use wisdom teeth, and they also retained the position of wisdom teeth, but now our gums don't have their place.

    This is an interesting question, but what I want to tell you is that the wisdom teeth of ancient people were generally in normal positions and did not cause inflammation, so there was no problem for modern people.

    The ancient people extracted their teeth was extremely terrifying, either tied with a rope and pulled it off, or tied to the end of the arrow, and then pulled the bow hard, it was really scary to think about. During the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo once saw a woodcutter with a cut wound on the way to find medicine, and later saw him take a kind of grass and chew it and put it on the wound, and the bleeding stopped after a while.

    Later, Hua Tuo after repeated research and development, and finally used it to make hemp boiling powder, in ancient times it was also extremely helpful for tooth decay, in ancient times, in fact, there was dentistry, but not as advanced and developed technology now, the methods are the most simple and crude, but they are very particular about the cleaning and maintenance of teeth, they will use tea to gargle and sterilize, coarse salt to rub teeth and then achieve the effect of cleaning teeth.

    In ancient times, there were also traditional Chinese medicine toothaches, such as Angelica Angelica, Cimicifuga, gypsum, Qinggaosan, etc., mainly due to stomach fever and toothache, red, swollen, ulcerated and bleeding gums, or hot and smelly breath, swollen lips, tongue and cheeks. Sun Simiao said: Every day with a twist of salt in the mouth, with warm water, you can speak tightly, it can be seen that the ancient people still attached great importance to the health of teeth.

    The people of the Song Dynasty thought about changing tricks to protect their teeth, such as boiling with willow, acacia, mulberry and other branches in water, adding ginger juice, mixing some other things to clean their teeth, but after experimenting, they still felt that it was not as good as salt.

    I still remember that in addition to rinsing her mouth with tea, Jia Baoyu also wiped her teeth and used green salt. Ancient people must have known that salt and tea contain fluoride, which can reduce inflammation and sterilize, so this effect has been inherited to this day, in fact, it is not enough to rinse your mouth, you have to brush your teeth. In ancient times, people brushed their teeth with their fingers, dipped in some salt, or whatever, it felt very convenient but very earthy, and it felt so awkward, think about how to wash your fingers after brushing, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not imagine.

    There is a rope, brute force, and a natural way to fall off. In fact, people in ancient times did not have wisdom teeth very much, because the ancient people at that time did not eat as much as they do now, and it was complicated, so they would not have so much trouble eating. Because of diet, wisdom teeth in ancient times were more likely to erupt than in modern people, but they were not as painful as people now, although only a small part.

    So many of them don't feel the need to have their wisdom teeth removed. But there is a way to pull it out.

    1. Pull it out with a rope.

    Tie one end of the rope to the teeth, then put the other end on the doorknob, and then close the door hard, using the speed of this closing to quickly bring the teeth down, in fact, this method also minimizes the speed of tooth extraction, and the pain time is relatively much less. I still remember that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Jinggong asked his son to help pull out his teeth with a rope, and it turned out to be a big joke.

    2. Critical attack method.

    This method is seen a lot in the Neolithic period. While reciting this sentence silently (so that you don't fall off), while using a hard object, and then using the greatest force against your teeth to keep beating, at this time, as long as your own belief is firm enough, there is also a psychology that is not afraid of pain. Then you already have a better than half chance of success.

    But the only disadvantage of this is that it is easy to break the tooth, and the pain is still very long, which can be regarded as a torture.

    3. Natural drop.

    Waiting for wisdom teeth to fall off, but this method is still very painful, although some ancient people may have wisdom teeth without feeling, but some people will still be very uncomfortable, and it is also very difficult to eat, if you keep making wisdom teeth uncomfortable, it is also a kind of discomfort.

    The exact treatment method is not detailed in ancient books, but it is said that wisdom teeth are removed using a rope to reduce the pain.

    Wisdom teeth are actually degrading with the growth of human beings, and in ancient times, people ate roughly, and their teeth were developed, so they may not form the current wisdom teeth. Even if they have wisdom teeth, this pain is not as serious as not eating well and not wearing warmth, and they may pass it after a while, and they will choose to extract teeth if they can't get through it, but it is difficult to extract teeth at that time.

    In ancient times, wisdom teeth were not treated differently from ordinary teeth, and there is no record of wisdom teeth, so it is estimated that wisdom teeth have little effect, or they should be extracted when the tooth is painful.

    The ancients did not have a special record of wisdom teeth, mainly because modern people could not grow the last molar to form wisdom teeth due to the degeneration and shortening of the jaw, while the ancients had longer upper and lower jaws and did not have this trouble.
