Nowadays, we all pay special attention to oral hygiene. We basically brush our teeth every morning, noon and evening to create a healthy environment for our teeth and at the same time achieve the effect of preventing tooth decay. However, people will lose their teeth after reaching a certain age. In order to be able to eat normally after that, they usually choose to go to the dentist for fillings. But in ancient times, when conditions were very poor, what remedial measures were taken after their teeth fell out? Can I also wear dentures?

In ancient times, people actually paid great attention to oral hygiene. Because we can see from history books that our ancestors have used the middle finger of their right hand as a toothbrush very early on, and in India, the "Yangzhi toothbrush" they invented was introduced to China by monks, and was thus known to us in China. Follow suit. The method of use is very simple. Bite one end of the poplar branch until soft, then dip the soft end of the poplar branch into the medicine, and then use it to brush your teeth to achieve the effect of smooth and clean teeth.

Speaking of teeth, in ancient times, people had some remedies for losing teeth, and they could really be remedied by installing dentures. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing invented a method for installing dentures after tooth loss, that is: amalgam filling of cavities, which is a method of filling teeth that is often used in the medical field today. Teeth are filled with fillings. .

After the Song Dynasty, there were even professional dentists who installed dentures, which also means that people at this time truly mastered the technology of dentures. And at that time, there were many kinds of denture materials, such as ivory, cow bone, hard sandalwood and other denture materials. And in addition to solving daily dental problems, dentures at that time were also used for decoration and showoff. Among them, the most popular "dental bridge" at that time was to tie the teeth with soft gold iron wire and then tie it into the entrance. It served the purpose of decorating the teeth, but had no chewing function.
