Probably with lots of icky teeth and missing teeth, although their diets wouldn't (in most cases) have been as sugar-high as ours are... I've heard things about some cultures using sticks dipped in water as a toothbrush type thing, but I don't know.

Those puns themselves were the genesis of a lot of irritation for me! I oughta tell the first and second kings about this!

Okay, getting back to teeth...

That's an interesting thing to ponder...a world before dentists. How did many historical figures keep their teeth clean before dentistry was looked into?

Did William Shakespeare have gingivitis?

Did Henry VIII ever pick the bits of food out from between his incisors?

Did Joan of Arc need braces?

Did Genghis Khan brush his teeth with sticks?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
