Today I was just reading all about George Washington, and how he had teeth problems in his young adult life. I don't know if he used tobacco or not, but from the sound of it he tried everything and had access to the finest dentists and doctors, and his teeth still rotted away until he had to use full dentures. As renowned as he was with his knowledge of plants and fruits he grew at his Mt. Vernon estate, there was, and is, still a lot we don't fully understand about medicine.
