History of the Toothbrush -

The modern toothbrush, with bristles, was conceived in China in the 16th or 17th century.

Toothbrushes moved to Europe in the mid 1600's and then became widely used in the area. Animal hair was the first type of bristle to be used.

    Today, toothbrushes have nylon bristles and normally have a plastic handle. Animal hair was used until 1938.

Some other interesting toothbrush facts:

The first mass-produced toothbrush was made by William Addis of Clerkenwald, England, around 1780.

The first American to patent a toothbrush was H. N. Wadsworth, (patent number 18,653,) on Nov. 7, 1857.

Mass production of toothbrushes began in America around 1885.

One of the first electric toothbrushes to hit the American market was in 1960. It was marketed by the Squibb company under the name Broxodent.

The toothbrush is said to have been invented by the Chinese in the late 1400's. It consisted of stiff hairs from a hog's neck attached to a bamboo stick.
