    Oof, watching this video made my jaw hurt... What's the craziest superstition or story around dental hygiene that you've heard of? (I'm a big fan of George Washington's insane variety of fake chompers personally)
    Edit: Whoa, y'all really like the gross stuff huh? That's awesome, but we want to clarify: the bit between Rob and Matt is a joke Rob himself wrote for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, dental phobias are incredibly common and we wanted to make sure we didn't squick out anyone unnecessarily. Two, because dental medicine stagnated for a while during the Medieval era, the joke let us bridge ancient dentistry to more modern dentistry smoothly. Three, we didn't actually remove all that much detail from the procedures and tried to leave in enough that the bold of heart and strong of stomach and could go searching themselves, if they wanted to. But for those who want it, here's the elaboration from Rob:
    ROMAN CIRCULAR SAW: Basically, they'd trephine the infected tooth open, then pack it with arsenic killing the nerve.
    RED-HOT POKER: This was Celsus. When a gum ulcer did not respond to vinegar and chewing unripe pears and apples (?) he recommended cauterizing it with a red-hot iron (?!).
    AS A MOUTHWASH?: Romans believed urine was a great mouthwash, especially the urine of young boys. Apparently, kids would make money by hanging out in alleys with cups for this purpose. (Oh, the glory that was Rome!)
    ST. APPOLONIA: We covered it in the episode. Depending on the story a mob/Roman soldiers pulled out her teeth before her martyrdom.
    And that's really it. Next week's episode is much more straightforward.

      These history episodes are sometimes played in schools, and if they get too gruesome they can violate rating limitations for what can be shown in class without a permission slip saying their parents consent to their child watching it, which can lead to parent backlash against the school(s).

    I talked to an 80-ish year-old man in the rural Philippines who had a toothache but wasn't able to pay for treatment. He said he had a worm in his tooth and he smoked to keep it calm (cigarettes were sold individually for about 5 cents, so that was in his budget).

      I mean being too detailed will get things demonetized. Aside from that this sort of this _is_ horrifying. I find it fascinating but I can definitely see how a _lot_ of people would find the gruesome details sickening, for some people literally so. Their goal is to educate, sure, but a lot of people might have to miss out on learning _any_ of it because they left in all the gross parts, and if they got as many complaints about the flu pandemic video as they implied, then it may be for the best to relegate the truly gnarly bits to another video.

    I mean, in Rob's defense, dentistry in its modern incarnation is STILL pretty brutal for some people; while we've got better tools, medicines, and a much better understanding of how the body actually works, we're still using drills, scrapers, screws and files to fix up our teeth. The sound of a dental drill revving up gives some people nightmares.
