History of the Toothbrush
1780: The First Modern Toothbrush
The honor goes to England's William Addis. The handle was made of cattle bone and featured a swine bristle brush. In 1938, nylon bristles officially kicked the swine varieties off the market and the truly modern toothbrush was born. |
1954: The first electric toothbrush
The “Broxodent” was conceived in Switzerland in 1954 by Dr. Philippe-Guy Woog. |
