[A tiny hiccup.]

What happens if you accidentally swallow... "toothpaste"?

Comments

[summerschild]

[Oh hey there.]

Just what I was cleaning my teeth with. Is it poisonous, like the other cleaning supplies?

[tallasaking]

[Hello smallest Stark, from the smallest Lannister.]

Ah! Absolutely not. Your stomach might hurt a little, from what I have been able to tell from experimentation, but otherwise you should be fine.

[summerschild]

You've experimented with it?

[Why. Why would you subject yourself to this.]

[tallasaking]

Naturally. I had to understand what all these odd ... personal hygiene notices were about.

[He tapped his chin, where his beard was neatly trimmed.] It took some practice, I must say.

[summerschild]

[An agreeing nod.]

I don't understand it. They tried to teach me how to put thread between my teeth.

[tallasaking]

That's so you can get all the food out from between them. Apparently that food ... does nasty things to one's mouth if not cleaned out. It clears up a lot of questions on why people's teeth rot out where we come from, I must say.

[summerschild]

Food makes teeth rot? [He's bluntly horrified.] Do the maesters know this?

[tallasaking]

I have the distinct feeling that they do not. [Considering how many maesters no longer had teeth.]

[summerschild]

[He thinks on this.]

There's a lot the maesters don't know. Maybe we can teach them, when we all go back.

[tallasaking]

[He rubs his beard thoughtfully, before he nods.] Yes, yes. I think we could teach them a lot about personal health. It could cut down on plagues considerably.
