Proof that baseball cards were around then

That stick of gum was brutal to dentist bills

[TigersEye]

It’s still a major problem. Wanna see my dental bills?

Or maybe a pic of my dentist’s car would suffice!? :)

Really?   Who is the weak minded genesis who felt the need to check that?   He probably posited ancient man had Mastodon dung amulets that kept them from ever having a cavity in their magic teeth.

Wasn’t dental care one of the services shut down by the governors of the states? Someone needs to tell them we have already made fire and can tell the difference in eatable vegetation. Seems they are making every effort to push us back to the stone age by keeping us in our caves. Ringo Starr would be pleased. We, I guess, haven’t learned they are zug zuging us as we sit here.

Traditionally, it was thought that tooth decay became common only after man began to lead a sedentary lifestyle and use more processed cereal products.

Seriously? Even the book of Ecclesiastes mentions tooth problems. So much for science.

You don’t have to floss all of your teeth. Only the ones you want to keep.

I read that in a dental office many years ago and it stuck with me.

[Bonemaker]

It’s still a major problem for some of us 9,000 years later.

I didn’t know they had Paczkis back then!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I thought that Ugly Bob destroyed it by taking the bag off his head to save the Canadian Princess that tooth decay kidnapped. So South Park isn’t real?

[Magnatron]

What a dumb premise for a study. Tooth decay was major problem for our ancestors 50 years ago, in some places in the US, it’s a major problem NOW.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A 5-year supply of dental floss should be in every SHTF plan.

Tooth decay 9000 years ago was not from eating too many fruits. It was from eating meat and not flossing and trying to crush bones to get at the marrow. Monkeys eat mostly fruits and don’t seem to lose many teeth. I grew up in India, and wild monkeys were ubiquitous. I still remember the alpha male monkey baring his teeth at me, and they looked sparkling white and no teeth missing.

I knew it... They needed Crest and Listerine...

No, they found a prehistoric hockey team.
