Recorded contacts with the "screllings" by Leif Ericsson and others were extremely limited, thus I'd doubt they picked the custom in North America.

Leif Eriksen was Norwegian not Swedish. Actually, the Swedes were operating almost exclusively in Russia and Byzantium, while the other vikings went to North America. I think it may just be coincidental that they did the same types of things with their teeth.

"Skralings" rather than Screllings. Translates to "wretches".
