Many plagues were caused by lack of basic hygiene. Of course I wouldn’t want to miss modern medicine, but living back then with a lot less people around and equipped with todays knowledge would actually be pretty neat.
…but not with my teeth…i would have probably died already if not for modern ways of dealing with tooth-aches…
I am in a similar boat. Most of things i would be ok but two in modern standards small issues would render me definitely deaf, likely infertile and possibly dead.

Hygiene was very common in ancient times. The myth about them being unhygienic comes from the Victorian age where it was fashionable to be unhygienic.
Issues with teeth was also a very common issue that arose around the Victorian period with the increase in sugar consumption. Major tooth problems were not as common before then except in ancient Mexico and Egypt where grit and sand would get into food and wear teeth down.
Eh, that was only one plague as opposed to smallpox, malaria, diphtheria, measles, tuberculosis, rheumatic fever, etc.
