Your toothbrush may not seem like a great marvel. You use it every day and have ever since you had teeth to brush. But, did you know that the first toothbrush originated from China? In the year 1498 the 1st toothbrushes were made. At that time, the toothbrushes’ bristles were made from hog hair, badger fur, and horse hairs. It wasn’t until 1938 that the 1st commercial toothbrush was manufactured. Who would have ever guessed that the very toothbrush you use every morning has such a deep rooted history?
