How?
With durable twigs from trees, of course.
Thinking about those Prehistoric times,
those who lived at the time could take
rocks and smash young, broken-off twigs
between them to fray the ends and...Wallah!
They now have a cleaning implement
to move along the gum
line to remove buildup!
A small twig could also be chewed between
the teeth to make the same type of primitive
oral tool (miswak sticks)!
Later, tools like that were found, dating back to
3,500 BC in Kemet, before it was called Egypt.
People all over used this rudimentary and natural
toothpick method to clean the mouth.
Next, you might guess, they had to find a
way to conquer acquired bad breath!
Next time!
