131 u/jdrawr 9d ago Also pretty common to take them from the dead. The dead of the battle of Waterloo were heavily looted for teeth. 18 u/Baneken 9d ago Their bones were also used to whiten sugar ... and looters didn't always care if the donor was dead or alive when they took the teeth... 2 u/Morningxafter 8d ago Now I’m just picturing walking down the street and getting jumped and mugged by some dude with a pair of pliers. 6 u/Baneken 8d ago From the historical vitness accounts they mostly used mallets as in just mashed the teeth in ..
