Answer:
3500 B.C.: Babylonians used chewing sticks to clean their teeth.

15th-16th Century: The first “toothbrush” (with bristles) was invented in China and was made of animal bone, bamboo and hog hair.

1780: William Addis of England invented the first mass-produced toothbrush.

1844: The first three-row bristle brush was designed by Dr. Meyer Rhein.

1857: H.N. Wadsworth was the first to patent the toothbrush.

1885: Other American companies began to mass-produce the toothbrush.

1938: The nylon toothbrush, the first to be made with synthetic bristles, appeared on the market.

1939: The first electric toothbrush was invented in Switzerland.

1940 : Soldiers in the United State Army returned from World War II and brought their habit of tooth brushing home with them.

1960 :The Broxodent was the first electric toothbrush to be sold in the United States by the company Squibb. A year later, General Electric was the first company to sell a rechargeable cordless toothbrush.

1987: The company Interplax designed and sold the first rotary action electric toothbrush.

2003: In an annual survey of adults and teens, the toothbrush was voted the number one invention people can't live without, beating out the computer, cell phone and automobile.

Today: Technology has sure come a long way! The modern-day toothbrush is typically constructed out of a plastic handle and nylon bristles. The modern day toothbrush handle comes in many varieties, including handles that are straight, angled or curved. Toothbrush heads also come in a variety of shapes and sizes for people of all ages and sizes.
