Can't take TV shows seriously any more because characters are too good-looking!

    It is when the actors/actresses have pearly white shining teeth in films such as Braveheart or the Vikings TV series that annoys me.
    You think they would at least discolor their teeth and maybe even make it look like a few are missing?

    Young people would have had very good teeth in the past as sugar was a rare luxury.

    Young people would have had very good rotted stumps for teeth in the past as sugar toothpaste and toothbrush was a rare luxury not invented yet.

    Fruit and veg have sugar, carbohydrates convert to sugar and anything stuck in your teeth invites decay. Sugar isn't great for teeth, it's true, but the likes of sugary drinks wash over them while the likes of crisps get sticky and hang around.

    Toothpaste was a rare luxury back in the 10th century as well so I doubt that their teeth would have been in the best state.

    They're different types of sugars though and they aren't as harsh on tooth enamel as the processed stuff found in food today.

    I don't really understand Aidan Gillen's difficulty with accents. He can't even seem to do his own one.

    Tooth decay was a big problem for well off people, Queen Lizzie has barely a tooth in her head from all the sweet stuff she was eating.

    Ordinary people didn't have this problem, if anything their teeth showed signs of wearing down from the diet they were eating.
