I have discovered ancient Egyptian toothpaste. Apparently, it was made with pepper, mint, iris, and salt. It was their method for white teeth. They'd make a poultice with it and apply it. Could use it alongside a chew stick most likely. Mint I can assume for the flavor and lasting scent, salt and pepper for their abrasive properties, and not sure what the iris is about. Not sure what of this is specifically for cleaning other than the abrasiveness. This does mean you could 100% make toothpaste without any store-bought ingredients. I'll have to mess around with stuff.

would you be so kind as to explain Daniel as the latin bro tiktoker and how it affects the household dynamic
okay SO off the back of your excellent Marius Discovers Tiktok posts-
Sometimes I like to think about how he originally got on the app because of links that Daniel or Armand or even fuckin Benji sent him, and he'd be patting himself on the back when he figures out how to stitch videos and make his own tiktoks 'correcting' historical information. And ofc because it's Marius he thinks he's the first vampire to be sneaky posting on there and he takes great pride in how modern he's being, doing right by his old Roman ancestors spreading the truth about history, etc etc
Until he finds Daniel's account scrolling his for you page lmao And for those NOT IN THE KNOW there's this dude on tiktok who's studying ancient linguistics and constantly getting stoned and like, rapping in old Egyptian lmao Or translating memes in ancient Sumerian and generally making ancient language shit posts in between actually making education videos where he gently reads people down for spreading incorrect linguistics facts.
and I JUST THINK that would be Daniel lmao He's learned all this history from Marius, all these old dead languages and how they were pronounced and he's bored and wants to do something with that. And he's just so personable that people eat it up, he's got like minimum 60k views on every post.
And it just eats Marius alive hahaha Like on one hand he taught Daniel all that he knows, right?? He's proud that his fledgling's fledgling actually absorbed his lessons and is out there able to put knowledge into the world.
But ON THE OTHER he's burnt up inside about how Daniel gets so many fuckin views and people praising his account in the comments when TECHNICALLY Marius is doing the same kind of stitches correcting people and getting crickets half the time, or horny comments from booktok people who are hot for what a cold, harsh professor he is and aren't actually taking in the facts he's trying to put out there😂
And like he's too proud to ask Daniel how to game the algorithm or what he's doing wrong, and just texts him links to his old Egyptian rap videos with disapproving emoji, and sometimes when they're on the phone he chides him for making a mockery of the great cultures of the past.
(Daniel isn't dumb though, sometimes he throws him a bone and stitches one of Marius's videos being like 'yeah this dude nails it, you guys should follow him'. And Marius doesn't acknowledge the thousand extra followers he gets from that, just tells Daniel he's not required to promote him simply because of their relationship, but Daniel knows that means 'thank you' in emotionally constipated old man)
So YEAH, Daniel's success causes a little tension at first but it settles into something nice because he knows posting something real dumb gives Marius an excuse to gently scold him when they're apart. And like when they're together maybe he takes a sneaky video of Marius trying to set up a fuckin ringlight or something so he can get better video of some old text he has, and Daniel holds onto that draft for blackmail purposes lmao
(Meanwhile Armand is off making 'watch me restock my guest room drawers' videos and everyone in the comments is bewildered by the lack of hygiene items and consumables. Like vampires don't need toothpaste and deodorant and mints, so it's all weird shit like the little toys you get from gumball machines and ink for fountain pens for the vampires who visit who prefer to use tools from the time when they were mortal)
Whew who knew I had so many thoughts on that, I could go for days on this subject lmao

1. Clothing Essentials
The climate in Egypt can vary depending on the season, so it’s important to dress appropriately. Keep in mind that the dress code is generally casual, but you might need specific outfits for temples, evenings, or excursions.
Lightweight, breathable fabrics: Pack clothes made from natural fibers like cotton or linen to stay cool during daytime excursions.
Layered clothing: Mornings and evenings can be chilly, especially in winter (November to February). Include a light jacket, scarf, or cardigan.
Modest attire for excursions: While Egypt is relatively tourist-friendly, it’s respectful to wear modest clothing when visiting temples or local villages. Long pants, skirts, and tops covering the shoulders are advisable.
Comfortable shoes: You’ll be walking a lot during excursions to temples and historical sites, often on uneven terrain. Sturdy walking shoes or sandals with good grip are a must.
Swimwear: Most cruise ships have a pool, so bring a swimsuit for relaxing on board.
Evening wear: Some cruises have formal or semi-formal dinners, so pack one or two dressy outfits.
2. Sun Protection

High-SPF sunscreen
Light scarf or shawl to cover your neck or shoulders from the sun

Personal hygiene items: Many cruises provide basic toiletries, but you might want your preferred brands for toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
Medicines: Carry a basic first-aid kit, prescription medications, motion sickness tablets, and remedies for common issues like digestive discomfort.

Binoculars: Great for spotting wildlife or taking in views from the deck.
Notebook or travel journal: Record your impressions and adventures.

The Evolution of Dentistry: From Ancient Times to Today
Tumblr media
Dentistry, one of the oldest professions, has undergone an incredible transformation over the centuries. From rudimentary tools and primitive techniques to modern, high-tech solutions, the field has made tremendous strides to ensure oral health and restore smiles.
This journey through time reveals fascinating insights into how dentistry evolved to become what it is today, offering groundbreaking treatments like full mouth dental implants that revolutionize oral healthcare.
Ancient Beginnings: The Roots of Dentistry
The practice of dentistry can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where people developed ingenious methods to manage oral health. Around 7000 BC, evidence from the Indus Valley suggests that people used bow drills to remove decayed tooth matter—a crude yet remarkable innovation.
In ancient Egypt, oral health was a priority, with texts like the Ebers Papyrus detailing treatments for gum disease and toothaches. Egyptians also pioneered the use of dental prosthetics, crafting replacement teeth from gold and animal teeth. Meanwhile, the Etruscans of Italy, around 800 BC, were known for their advanced dental bridges and crowns.
In ancient Greece, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recognized the importance of oral health and its connection to overall wellness. Later, Roman texts documented the use of powders made from crushed bones and oyster shells to clean teeth—an early form of toothpaste.
The Middle Ages: A Decline and Reawakening
During the Middle Ages, dentistry saw a decline in structured practices, and barbers took on the role of oral care providers. Barber-surgeons performed extractions and other rudimentary procedures, often without proper sterilization or understanding of hygiene.
The Renaissance brought renewed interest in science and medicine. Pierre Fauchard, a French surgeon often called the "Father of Modern Dentistry," published The Surgeon Dentist in 1728, outlining methods for treating dental issues. His innovations included the development of dental fillings and the use of braces to straighten teeth. This laid the foundation for modern dentistry.
The Industrial Revolution: Tools and Techniques Emerge
The 18th and 19th centuries marked a turning point in dental practices. Advances in technology and materials led to significant improvements in tools and techniques. Porcelain dentures became a popular choice, replacing earlier versions made of ivory or wood.
During this time, anesthesia revolutionized dental procedures, making them less painful. In 1846, William Morton, a dentist in the United States, successfully used ether for a tooth extraction, paving the way for pain-free dentistry.
The invention of the dental drill in the 1870s further enhanced precision in treating cavities, and advancements in dental X-rays in the early 1900s allowed practitioners to diagnose issues hidden beneath the gum line.
The Modern Era: Precision and Innovation
The 20th and 21st centuries have witnessed a boom in dental technology and innovation. Today, dental care emphasizes preventive measures, minimally invasive procedures, and aesthetics. Patients benefit from cutting-edge techniques like laser dentistry, digital impressions, and 3D printing for crowns and bridges.
One of the most significant advancements in recent years is the introduction of full mouth dental implants, which provide a permanent and natural-looking solution for those with extensive tooth loss. Unlike traditional dentures, these implants are anchored to the jawbone, offering unparalleled stability and functionality. They not only restore the ability to chew and speak but also improve facial structure and confidence.
Full mouth dental implants have transformed the lives of countless individuals, combining the latest materials and surgical precision to achieve remarkable results. With the help of technologies like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-guided implant placement, dentists can now achieve outcomes that were once thought impossible.
The Future of Dentistry: What Lies Ahead?
Looking ahead, the future of dentistry is poised to be even more exciting. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are set to play a major role in diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and patient care. Robotic-assisted surgeries may become commonplace, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in procedures like implant placement.
Regenerative dentistry, which focuses on growing new teeth and repairing damaged tissues using stem cells, is another promising field. This revolutionary approach could eliminate the need for traditional dental restorations in the future.
Additionally, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are being explored to improve patient experiences, from reducing anxiety during procedures to training dental students.
Conclusion
The evolution of dentistry, from its humble beginnings in ancient times to today’s sophisticated techniques, is a testament to human ingenuity and the pursuit of better health. Treatments like full mouth dental implants embody the remarkable progress that modern dentistry has achieved, offering solutions that were once unimaginable.
As technology continues to advance, the dental field will undoubtedly reach new heights, ensuring healthier smiles and improved quality of life for future generations. The journey of dentistry is far from over, and its future is as bright as the smiles it creates.

Introduction:
Toothpaste, a ubiquitous item in our daily routine, boasts a history that spans centuries, revealing a fascinating evolution from ancient powders to the contemporary gels we use today. This journey reflects both the necessity for oral hygiene and the innovative spirit of human civilization.
Ancient Dental Powders:
Centuries ago, our forebearers maintained oral hygiene with inventive mixtures. Ancient Egyptians, for instance, utilized a blend of crushed oxen hooves, myrrh, and pumice. Greeks and Romans preferred powdered abrasives like crushed bones and oyster shells, combined with charcoal and bark for flavor.
The Renaissance: Transition to Paste:
The Renaissance era marked a shift from powders to cohesive pastes. In the 18th century, a popular recipe featured a mixture of burnt bread, dragon's blood resin, and crushed china. Although toothpaste was evolving, it was still a far cry from the pleasant gels of today.
Toothpaste in the 19th Century:
The 19th century witnessed significant advancements in dental care, with toothpaste transitioning from homemade concoctions to mass-produced products. A prevalent formula included chalk, soap, and essential oils. Flavors, particularly minty ones, were added for a more enjoyable brushing experience.
Fluoride and the 20th Century:
The 20th century brought a revolutionary addition to toothpaste—fluoride. Recognized for its enamel-strengthening and cavity-preventing properties, fluoride became a standard ingredient. This era also saw the shift from metal tubes to convenient squeezable plastic tubes.
The Era of Gel Toothpaste:
In the latter 20th century, toothpaste underwent another transformation with the introduction of gel formulations. Gels provided a smoother consistency, better adherence to toothbrushes, and an overall enhanced brushing experience. Innovations in packaging further contributed to toothpaste's accessibility and user-friendliness.
Modern Toothpaste Trends:
Today, the toothpaste aisle reflects a diverse array of options, from whitening gels to charcoal-infused pastes. Natural and organic ingredients have gained popularity, reflecting an increased awareness of health and environmental concerns. The journey continues with ongoing advancements, including smart toothpaste technologies promising improved oral care.

The Ancient Origins
In the annals of history, dental care dates back to ancient times when our ancestors utilized rudimentary tools and techniques to tend to dental issues. Archaeological findings reveal that early civilizations practiced dental care using unconventional methods. Ancient Egyptians, for instance, employed linen threads for toothaches and made toothpaste from oxen hooves, ashes, and burnt eggshells.
Reflecting on the past, civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans implemented various innovative substances in their pursuit of oral health. These substances included materials as rudimentary as oyster shells and crushed bones. Despite the seemingly basic nature of these treatments, they were in fact early indicators of mankind's persistent endeavor to improve dental care. These groundbreaking approaches, though elementary when compared to modern dental practices like those executed at Chunkeun Choi DDS Inc, were the precursors that paved the way for the future evolution in dental care. Today, advancements in dental healthcare are witnessed in practices like Chunkeun Choi DDS Inc, where a variety of modern dental surgical procedures are executed with a focus on minimal invasiveness and patient care.
The Middle Ages ushered in a period where dental care took a backseat due to limited knowledge and resources. However, the Renaissance period brought a resurgence of interest in medical and dental advancements. Influential figures like Leonardo da Vinci sketched anatomical drawings of the oral cavity, contributing to a deeper understanding of dental structures.
Fast forward to the 18th century, when the field of dentistry began to take shape as a distinct discipline. Pioneers such as Pierre Fauchard, often referred to as the "father of modern dentistry," introduced innovative concepts like dental fillings and prosthodontics. Fauchard's seminal work laid the groundwork for future breakthroughs in dental technology.
Technological Marvels
The dawn of the 20th century heralded a wave of technological innovations that revolutionized dental care. The invention of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen provided dentists with a transformative tool to diagnose hidden dental issues, marking a pivotal moment in the history of dentistry.
Subsequent decades witnessed the introduction of local anesthesia, transforming dental procedures by minimizing patient discomfort. Moreover, the development of composite resins for tooth-colored fillings enhanced both the functionality and aesthetics of dental restorations.
In the contemporary era, dental technology has soared to unprecedented heights. Digital imaging has replaced conventional X-rays, offering enhanced precision and reduced radiation exposure. CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology enables the creation of precise dental prosthetics like crowns and bridges in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
The introduction of 3D printing technology in the field of dentistry has truly been revolutionary, particularly in the world of dental prosthetics. This cutting-edge technology has made it possible to design and manufacture dental implants and orthodontic devices that are customized to the exact specifications of each individual patient. The production process has been streamlined to an impressive extent, dramatically reducing the time required to create these personalized dental solutions. Furthermore, 3D printing has significantly improved accessibility to bespoke dental care. One notable practitioner leveraging this technology to enhance patient care is Chunkeun Choi DDS Inc. Dr. Choi's surgical proficiency, coupled with the precision offered by 3D printing, provides a less invasive treatment experience, ultimately emphasizing the clinic's commitment to patient-friendly care.
The Future Horizon
As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the future of dental care holds immense promise. Advancements in biomaterials are paving the way for bioengineered teeth, offering a potential solution to tooth loss without the need for traditional implants. Additionally, regenerative therapies hold the potential to regenerate damaged tooth structures, potentially transforming the landscape of restorative dentistry.
One of the most significant breakthroughs in modern dentistry is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the realm of diagnostics and treatment planning. This transformative technology is set to completely reshape the manner in which dental professionals, like Chunkeun Choi DDS Inc, approach patient care and the overall patient experience. AI algorithms are capable of analyzing extensive quantities of data, far more than a human could possibly process manually. This enables these systems to provide invaluable aid in the early detection of oral diseases, and even more remarkably, they can formulate personalized treatment strategies based on each patient's unique health profile. In a progressive dental practice such as Chunkeun Choi DDS Inc, the utilization of AI is not just an added option, but rather an integral part of delivering comprehensive, cutting-edge dental care. It's an exciting time for dental professionals who are committed to leveraging the latest technological advancements to augment their services and provide optimal patient care.
The evolution of dental technology is a testament to human innovation and perseverance in the quest for optimal oral health and radiant smiles. From ancient remedies to cutting-edge technological marvels, the journey has been marked by relentless determination to improve dental care.
As we stand at the precipice of a new era in dentistry, propelled by groundbreaking innovations and visionary advancements, one thing remains constant—the unwavering commitment to enhancing smiles and preserving the health of teeth, ensuring that the captivating saga of dental technology continues to unfold, promising brighter, healthier smiles for generations to come.
