Nice bit Bêthberry,

An answer to one of the original question: How did anybody before the invention of toothbrushes keep their teeth from falling out? I know they had some forms of cleaning their teeth but you're right, no one ever mentions them.

In "The making of the movie" book there was an artical about how all the extras and even the leads all had some work done on their teeth to indicate tooth dicay(except maybe the elves) Actually, someone said that one of the keys to making a movie look older was the teeth. So at least PJ and his team put consideration into it.

I don't think there was need to mention that everyone had bad teeth in the book, it's like saying that "She had bad teeth and blue eyes" it could be written but it's not that important. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
