Who invented the toothpaste ? What was used before toothpaste was invented ??

I INVENTED TOOTH PASTE.......YUP I DID... NAAAAAAAAA....JUST KIDIN...IF I WUD HAV,I WUD B A BILLIONIERE BY NOW.....WHICH OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT :( ANYWAYZ REGARDING UR SECOND QUESTION...I can answer that because I am a dentist...well in the past chemicals and plant extracts were used to clean teeth but they were not that common...but the important thing to note is that in the past.lets say about 1000 years back,tooth decay was much less common than today.......SUPRISED......well u shouldnt be...the reason for this dif was that in the past PROCESSED FOOD was not even present and people used RAW NATURAL DIET which firstly had very little unnatural chemicerals in it and had very little amount of sugar and no sweeteners...things like these really helped their teeth to be in perfect condition..and not only were they caries free but they were also strong teeth because eating those raw foods required more strength than todays processed foods....although one disadvantage was that those foods did cause tooth wear as they were slightly more abrasive...and regarding no teeth in mouth...well when theres less caries then obviously there would b less tooth loss but if they lost it then obviously unlike today they didnt have replacements...but u wud b suprised that in the distant past people even had 4TH MOLAR and LARGER JAWS.... ALL PART AND PARCEL OF EVOLUTION...and evolution is obviously influenced by external environment as in this case
