Archaeological records show that tooth decay and deterioration were rampant throughout the ancient world. In a time when the average life expectancy was around 30, few people still had functional teeth by then. And while toothbrushes may not have been around yet, people still cleaned their teeth with cloth, water, chewing sticks, etc BTW, the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas.
We know this, because otherwise it would have been called a 'teeth'-brush :p.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
