Dentistry 2000 years ago and beyond consisted mainly of pulling teeth.
Average life expectancy only started to go up about 150 years ago in
some industrialized countries.
Given the average life span in the time of J___s, which according to a
physicspost article whose URL I've added below, was age 19. Teeth had
to have far outlasted people. So often I am amazed at the perfect
still intact bright- white teeth of native and prehistoric mummies
unearthed from varying parts of our planet. Since then, many changes
have take place in the human body from good to worse from
environmental changes, decline in nutritious food consumption in
industrial nations, and don't forget those antibiotics freely given to
kids when they were first used which weakened teeth and turned them
blue.

Cocaine. a prime treatment for many ailments up until around a hundred
years ago or less is responsible for weakening teeth and a very good
alternative reason to not become a user if anyone's thinking of
getting started.

And when did sugar become a staple in peoples diets? It's a well know
fact among nutritionists sugar depletes the quality of anyones diet no
matter how perfect that diet is. Prehistoric peoples ate leaves in
stead of chemical processed foods, fashioned tooth picks from twigs
and used grass blades and similar useful tools as we use floss. Even
some wild animals find ways to keep the teeth clean such as birds
cleaning out larger mammals teeth. I read where in the UK this last
century and today, people eat an inordinate amount of sugar causing
tooth decay and utter tooth destruction so bad that it's not unusual
to meet young British persons with dentures.

I don't know what to say about the 'holy'(yes, many gaps) bible's
making mention of Methuselah, who supposedly lived an incredibly long
time. Of course there were those who broke the molds and did live very
long lives where perhaps fifty was considered ancient. And too, there
were those youngsters who lost their teeth in battles and were
consequently toothless. So it goes. As far a J___s curing abscesses,
he probably did cure extreme dental pain by mercifully pulling teeth.
By performing that and other common, simple medical procedures he came
to be known as a "healer". How that evolved into being 'holy' isn't
that clear to me except that it had something to do with the political
climate at the time and the low level of education and consiousness
across the board.
Free from religous connotations of the unknown mysteries of the
Universe may include some early Greek scientists - Chinese medicine,
calander makers, advanced embalming methods, and other break throughs
continents away. With progressive thinking so behind the times around
J----es neighborhood -- no wonder he was so popular and so feared by
the Government for undermining it's crudeness. Incredibly, not that
long ago while Dicken's filthy London battled plague and pestilence,
Japan's populace was immersed in advanced habits of cleanliness where
no such plague could ever exsist. See article about life span. Tedi

This is so .... he had five .... maybe six hundred sets of dentures
made too.
