Stone age Julia Roberts

Archeologists have nicknamed a stone age skeleton Julia Roberts because of her perfect teeth.
They were stunned by the condition of the women's teeth - still strong and straight after 9,000 years.
Archaeologists now believe stone age man must have had a secret way of making toothpaste.
Preserved remains of cattle bones and wheat found near her body show her diet was similar to what many people eat today in less developed areas of the world - but her teeth were far superior.
Georgi Ganetsovski, who led the archaeological expedition to Ohoden in northwest Bulgaria, said the skeleton was believed to be the oldest ever found in Europe - but was more remarkable for its teeth than its age.
He said: "She was a rare beauty and could have competed with today's Hollywood stars with her perfect set of teeth. She is a stone age Julia Roberts. She would have had a perfect smile - it really is a puzzle."
Last year, Viennese historians reported they had unearthed an ancient Egyptian way of making toothpaste in use thousands of years before Colgate officially marketed the world's first commercial toothpaste.
An ancient Egyptian scribe has carefully detailed on woven papyrus what he lists as a "powder for white and perfect teeth" that when mixed with saliva formed a "clean tooth paste".
As well as 1 drachma of rock salt, a measure equal to 0.5 gramms, the recipe requires two drachmas of mint, one drachma of iris and 20 grains of pepper, to be crushed and mixed together.

Archeologists have nicknamed a stone age skeleton Julia Roberts because of her perfect teeth. Did they mean horse teeth?

Huh. If named after Roberts, I'd assume the skull looked like a horse skull.

Obvious, the lady didn't consume a lot of processed sugar. Someone once suggested, "Flouridate sugar, not water."

What they missed was the stone sign in the
adjacent pit that read: "Artu zugzug Lana,
DDS".
And the ancient drill rig equipped w/
pedals.

Sounds like baking soda, or maybe Tom's.
