Did u know u can clean your teeth with urine? | DIDUKNOW #6

Reading the news today, I ran into an interesting fact where apparently in the past, urine was used to clean teeth and mouth so i had to share this with you guys. Physicians from first century Rome believed that using urine to brush their teeth whitened them. Likewise, they maintained that urine caused the teeth to remain firmly in place in their sockets. It was also said that Roman women belonging to the upper class paid handsomely to procure urine from Portugal. The highly prized urine was the strongest available form of toothpaste/mouthwash in the continent. The Romans had no qualms to use urine as their toothpaste, taking the ammonia that urine contains to whiten their teeth. A Roman poet named Catullus even described the practice of rubbing their teeth and gums with urine every morning after they have pissed. The indication of how much urine they used was shown by how clean their teeth were. They also used urine as their mouthwash.
