You never see a toothless old schmuck trying to gum a bowl of gruel.....
They all have perfect teeth.
That' s TV.
Not reality.
I can imagine that in GOT they use some sort of magic to clean their teeth.
When it comes to Rome and ancient history people didn't suffer so much from tooth decay since they didn't eat so much sugar as people do in the last few hundred years.
Not to mention that Native Americans practically didn't have any teeth problems at all, until Europeans came with their processed sugar foods.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
