Gollum kept his fangs sharp with a rock, as well.
In the olden days, I don't think people kept their teeth from falling out, true, sugar was not refined and was in a more natural and healthy state, but reading about wooden teeth and teeth made from hippopotamus molars makes me think dentistry and dental health was practically unknown.
