Cassell’s Household Guide, c. 1880:
The teeth require to be kept particularly clean rather than the application of mouth-washes and elaborate dentifrices. The more simple the ingredients used the better. Unless recommended by a good dentist, all tooth powders reputed to have beautifying effects should be used with caution. Washing the teeth night and morning is the best preservative of their beauty and soundness.
