Is there a call for a dentist? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alright, so most of you are going to think this is an extremely uninteresting topic, but I'm going to start it anyway. If it has been touched on before, then I apologise for starting a new thread.

I was brushing my teeth last night and thinking about Middle Earth. (Incidentally, the time spent brushing your teeth is a really good time for some deep thought, try it out) I was wondering how Tolkien's people took care of their teeth and gums.

As far as I'm aware, Tolkien never mentions the subject. Whether in their homes, or whether they were off on adventures, how did our heroes stop their teeth from falling out?

Any thoughts?
