Who invented the first toothbrush in history and under what circumstances?
The toothbrush we use now has existed since ancient times, but the technology at that time was underdeveloped and it was not widely used. There are actually different opinions about who invented the first hairbrush. Before, people in ancient times knew that protecting teeth was actually a very important thing. At that time, people used to gargle with water.

There are two theories about who invented the first toothbrush. First, the first hairbrush appeared in Britain. It is said that a man was sent to prison for inciting the masses. He invented the first hairbrush in prison. This person is actually not a very honest person, but he loves cleanliness. He begins to brush his teeth every time he washes his face. At that time, the way for ancient people to wash their teeth was to find a small cloth to wipe. However, he thinks it is very inconvenient to go out and carry this way, and it can't guarantee a certain degree of hygiene. So, he began to invent his own brushing method. As a result, he thought of a better method. First, he drilled a small hole in the small bone. He stuck the cut bristles in the holes in the bone. Some people say that it must be because he really can't stand his bad breath, so he insists on making a toothbrush. However, this kind of toothbrush made of bristles did not spread in the Central Plains, but he used it alone.

There is also a saying that toothbrushes appeared very early in ancient times, and we sometimes see a toothbrush with a bamboo handle in some museums. In ancient times, an emperor invented the world's first toothbrush. The manufacturing process is to insert short and hard bristles at the tail of the bone to replace the handle of the hairbrush.

Toothbrush is a tool that everyone uses to clean their mouth every day. Although there are many kinds of toothbrushes, some are hand-held toothbrushes and some are rechargeable electric toothbrushes, the hardness and hardness of bristles are different, and the materials used are different. Slowly it became a very common toothbrush, and finally it became what we use now.
