Did Jesus have cavities?!


Question: Did Jesus have cavities.?
I don't think the toothbrush was even invented until over 1000 years after Christ. Has there been any speculation or evidence that he had cavities or wore dentures.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Like everyone else alive then, He'd have had cavities and bad breath.
Even though he died relatively young, his teeth would have been badly worn due to grit in the flour from the stones used to grind it and grit blown into his food (all egyptian mummies have badly worn teeth).

No-one would have minded his bad breath and general smelliness, because everyone else lived without soap, toilet paper and detergent, so they all smelt as bad.Health Question & Answer

Actually i believe there were ways in which they were able to do things that would be considered brushing teeth

i know even today in Africa a use a certain type of plant and scrape across their teeth...it actually works as good if not better than brushing and i hear leaves your mouth minty fresh.... ever wonder why those starving kids on the tv have amazingly white teeth.?

but anyway yeah overall hygiene was bad and since (if u believe) he was technically a human while on earth he might have had some.Health Question & Answer

This has to be the dumbest question ever!!
Jesus didnt exist, people ate ehalthier foods, and brushed their teeth with things other than a toothbrush or else they would get stomach aches, it might not be a plastic oral b, but noone wanted stinky breath and stomach aches no matter when they lived.Health Question & Answer

I don't know! But I think it's very possible he did. I mean, no toothpaste and stuff. When He came to earth, He came in human form- 100% human, 100% God. Beyond the comprehension of our human minds sometimes. The Bible says He experienced human feelings and difficulties just like us. So probably, but who can say for sure.? Only God :-)

Comment to "Theman4uall"
Why do you believe Jesus didn't/doesn't exist.? I'm curious as to why u believe this. I'd just like to know what u think. please reply.? somehow.? edit comment.? idk lolHealth Question & Answer

I doubt this was an important thing to them back then. If there was no tooth brush, obviously there would be no worry about cavities. If he had any, he probably didn't know about it.

Did anyone ever say they "found" his body.? Unless they can find it, there can't be "evidence" about anything.Health Question & Answer

I'm sure he didn't have great teeth.

Locusts and honey didn't help things either. If he had lived past age 33 (which was actually sort of old for back then) he would probably have had pretty rotten teeth.Health Question & Answer

They say Jesus experienced everything that we have and still will expierience in our lives. So yes he most likeley has.Health Question & Answer

your underestimating ancient dentistry......im sure toothbrushes were around back then....maybe not electric ones, but regular ones definatleyHealth Question & Answer

I don't think they ate a lot of sugar in those days, so I'd say no. But I'd say everyone had at least a little tooth decay back then.Health Question & Answer

the funny thing is, we'll never know if he did or didn't.

But one thing is for certain; he sure knows if you do.. XDHealth Question & Answer

Probably, like most people at the time.Health Question & Answer

he was in human form so why not.?

Heck, the Buddha was overweight as hell, and it never stopped him!Health Question & Answer

He could have had them.Health Question & Answer

probably
i mean like there wasnt any toothpaste either
so i guess :]Health Question & Answer

they didn't take good care of their teeth back then so im guessing yes.Health Question & Answer

he probably did have cavities. even if jesus was God, he still had to take care of his teeth, like everyone elseHealth Question & Answer

LOL that is so funny... and probably! but no body knew what cavities were...Health Question & Answer

i'm sure
33 years without brushing teeth!Health Question & Answer

Well considering that they didn't have the hygiene products we do, I would say.... sure.Health Question & Answer
