So, she still had all her teeth at 93?

It is obvious that if she didn't visit dentists regularly, no one detected cavities, and teeth are just need to be pulled because of abscess from bacteria at the end.

yes she had all her teeth when she died
Oh, this is super interesting.
My grandma had all her teeth at 97 or so when she passed, and never saw a dentist, and I saw her use this tobacco toothpaste 3x per day for 25 years, until she died.

I assume she had a combination of good genes, frequent teeth cleaning right after meals, low sugar intake, and no soda/alcohol.

I have never had a cavity as of mid 30s, and I only started going to dentist at 23 or so. I don’t eat much, if any, sweets/junk food/soda.

Just curious, where did the linked image come from?

I'm imagining some sort of encyclopedia of tobacco toothpastes

I image searched for ipco on DuckDuckGo.
