“Vikings V. Aliens.
I just read this:
“Viking teeth were often subject to a great deal of wear, which is largely attributed to their diet. Study of the skeletal remains of Vikings has also shown evidence that they suffered from periodontal disease and tartar buildup.”
Really? Periodontal disease AND tartar buildup? What an amazing discovery.
Why are people studying things like this? Are we thinking the vikings will have known something about dental care that we don’t?
I mean, in a way, they DID solve a lot of dental issues by dying before they turned 50. If you’re dead, you don’t need great teeth. “
