The first toothbrush with bristles was invented in 1498 in China. In China the first toothbrushes were made out of a bone handle and hairs from the back of a hogs neck. It wasn’t until 1938 that the first nylon bristle toothbrush was introduced. Most people are said to use a blue toothbrush over any other color. Your toothbrush should be replaced every 2 months.

Here are some other intresting facts:

The first known toothpaste was used in 1780. Crest was introduced in the US in 1955 and Colgate in 1873.

On average, kids smile about 400 times per day.
