Dental care antioch

How did Victorians clean their teeth?

During the Victorian era, dental care was expensive and rudimentary at best.
At-home oral hygiene was mediocre due to insufficient knowledge and humble tools.
Most people cleaned their teeth using water with twigs or rough cloths as toothbrushes.
Some splurged on a “tooth-powder” if they could afford it..
