History of Toothbrush

Everyone daily uses toothpaste with toothbrush, and afterwards mouthwash, but do we know their history? Now let me educate you on the history of the toothbrush.
The first ever toothbrush was mentioned in 1690 in the autobiography of Anthony Wood, which was a sentence that stated purchasing a toothbrush from J. Barrette.
The first ever mass-produced toothbrush was made 1780 by an England national named William Addis. The idea of making a toothbrush came into his mind when in 1770, he was sent to jail for causing a riot, in the jail he thought about improving the present way of brushing, which was to rub a cloth on your teeth with soot and salt. So then and there he picked up a small animal bone, made holes in it, took some bristles from a guard, knotted them in a bunch, and then glued them to the holes in the bone. And soon his invention made him rich. He died in the year 1808 leaving his business to William II, his eldest son.
The first mass production of the toothbrush in America took place in 1885. The design was a bone having holes with Siberian Boar hair bristles. However, it was not until World War II that the real concept of regularly brushing caught the attention of people in America. It was because of the regular daily duty of the American’s soldiers to brush their teeth. It was their practice which they carried back to their home after the war ended.
The first ever toothbrush with synthetic fibers, that was nylon, was invented in 1938 by DuPont. And the first electric toothbrush was made at the centennial of the ADA (American Dental Association) in 1959 by the Bristol-Myers Company.
Toothbrush was selected as the number one invention that the people of America could not live without in January 2003, as it beat microwave oven, cell phone, computer, and automobile.
