There are many places in the world that have different levels of sanitation at different times in history. So which one would be the "proper" one to use in comparison in this case?
With no set analogue for comparison purposes, why wouldn't using Western Europe be any more outlandish than the Inuit?
Though, as a counterpoint to my own argument, I'd move that the Inuits might not be that great of an example for dentistry purposes because we have so many examples of in-game sweets that using a low-sweet society would probably not work. Between the cakes and chocolates and candy, there's some pretty solid evidence of more modern levels of sugar intake.
I'm not even sure why we are talking about "Western Europe". It can be a lot of other civilizations.
Or it can just be, you know, Eorzea.
