Long before the minty squeeze of modern toothpaste, people were brushing their teeth with powders made of bones, shells, ashes, and sometimes stranger ingredients best left in the past. In this episode we trace the gritty story of tooth powder, from ancient Egyptians grinding eggshells, to Victorians packaging perfumed tins, to the natural health revivals that still keep it on the shelf today. It is a tale of hygiene, habit, and the surprising ways humans have tried to keep their smiles bright across the centuries.
