"Anything about Teeth or Dental hygiene in the Elizibethan era?"
The Elizabethan Era associated with Queen Elizabeth's reign from 1558–1603.
According to the timeline on the ADA's website:
1530—The Little Medicinal Book for All Kinds of Diseases and Infirmities of the Teeth (Artzney Buchlein), the first book devoted entirely to dentistry, is published in Germany. Written for barbers and surgeons who treat the mouth, it covers practical topics such as oral hygiene, tooth extraction, drilling teeth, and placement of gold fillings.
1575—In France Ambrose Pare, known as the Father of Surgery, publishes his Complete Works. This includes practical information about dentistry such as tooth extraction and the treatment of tooth decay and jaw fractures.
Hope that helps :)
