How the Toothbrush Was Invented 

Chewing sticks are used in West Africa too to clean teeth. They're still used till today in fact. Mostly in rural areas though. My dad said when he was growing up, they used a combination of chewing sticks and charcoal to keep their teeth clean.

wow, this was great! Even though your a small channel this video was very professional and well done that I wouldnt even guess this was a small channel

It’s the simple things that we take for granted. Do more videos on things we use everyday.

when the Babylonians and the Egyptians made a brush by fraying the end of a twig. Tombs of the ancient Egyptians have been found containing toothsticks alongside their owners. Around 1600BC, the Chinese developed "chewing sticks" which were made from aromatic tree twigs to freshen breath. The Chinese are believed to have invented the first natural bristle toothbrush made from the bristles from pigs' necks in the 15th century, with the bristles attached to a bone or bamboo handle. When it was brought from China to Europe, this design was adapted and often used softer horsehairs which many Europeans preferred. Other designs in Europe used feathers. The first toothbrush of a more modern design was made by William Addis in England around 1780 - the handle was carved from cattle bone and the brush portion was still made from swine bristles. In 1844, the first 3-row bristle brush was designed. Natural bristles were the only source of bristles until Du Pont invented nylon. The invention of nylon started the development of the truly modern toothbrush in 1938, and by the 1950s softer nylon bristles were being made, as people preferred these. The first electric toothbrush was made in 1939 and the first electric toothbrush in the US was the Broxodent in 1960.

Are hog hair brushes kosher?

I've never knew that I would be interested in some toothbrushes but damn it this story is interesting

RU-vid survey said toothbrush was invented in prison.

Arab/African invented the tooth brush ... they used trees roots or what they call it Miswak,

Just now decided to look this up

How were they able to secure the bristles in the holes though? To make them stay put and fall off?

Why doesn’t China invent I mean seriously if it wasn’t for China we would have not had a lot of goods today

Thanks from Vietnam
