Ancient peoples had to combat tooth decay in one way or another. Goat droppings were chosen because of their very high fiber content. The natural fiber works much like modern toothpaste, scratching away at the tooth enamel to remove plaque. Combine this with the fact that the goat dropping were cooked to sterilize them before being used, and you have a decent way of having some oral hygiene. Let's all be thankful for the modern alternatives we have today.
