Has the dentist ever told you that having black teeth is a good thing? Probably not, but that’s not what the ancient Japanese thought when they dyed their teeth black.

Tune in to today’s episode as I uncover an ancient Japanese tradition of teeth blackening, Ohaguro.

Btw, this is my first ever Japanese history special, courtesy of my Instagram followers who recommended me do an episode about Japanese history. Great idea, thanks heaps!
