Vikings hid their vanity with carved teeth study shows
Archaeologists report 10 percent of male skeletons in southern Sweden from 1000 years ago bearing iron-carved grooves in front teeth. The patterns, often in pairs, suggest decorative or status signaling rather than random wear, while no women show the practice. The find, from four grave sites, indicates dentistry-like artistry among medieval Europeans.
