Best Answer

Native women lost their teeth the same way that the men did. Naturally or a medicine person would remove the tooth with a stick and rock. Women from some tribes used their teeth to separate reed threads. This would eventually wear down their teeth. Tribes all over the Americas participated in various teeth modification.
