how was dental treatment in medieval ages?

Don't eat shit food and your teeth will be fine for the most part.

Biggest reason why we go to the dentist in the modern world is because sugar is in nearly all the food we eat. Back then sugar was a luxury. You ate fucking beats and cooked lion.

What kind of bacteria wants to have some of that?

This.

It wasn't as much of a deal as it is now. It's sugary food/drinks and acidic stuff like milk or yoghurt what fucks up the teeth. Back then it was cereals, vegetables and occassionally meat unless you are a wealthy nobleman.

Life expectancy was short as well.

Yogurt is good for your teeth.

Also yogurt wasn't a thing in Europe in medieval ages, it was Francis I who made it popular

Plenty of mummies we've found had issues with their teeth. While it's possible that pre-historic people had slightly less issues with their teeth, ever since they started to settle and grain became a major part of their diet their teeth were getting worse due to the starch.
This hippie idea of modern food being what's wrong with the world is nonsense. People back then had bad teeth, they developed cancer, clogged arteries and all the issues that plague us today.

Certainly, sugary and acidic foods play their part, but it's not like this was exclusively a modern issue.

Also, it should be considered that this picture is most likely not a depiction of medieval dentist practice but a depiction of a saint's martyrdom.

Saint Appolonia. The internet loves to take medieval images out of context.

They had terrible teeth. Only hunter-gatherers do OK without much dental care because they don't base their diets on starchy foods, like agricultural peoples do.
