2. Starting nearly 5,000 years ago, ancient civilizations began to remove food from their teeth by
using chew sticks, a twig with a frayed end. From there, toothbrushes developed crafted from
animal bone or wood. Our modern, manual toothbrushes with nylon-bristles were invented
back in 1938 and have continued to develop with the invention of electric toothbrushes in 1939,
which were introduced to the U.S. in 1960.
Remember:
Brush twice a day with your manual or powered toothbrush
Don’t routinely cover toothbrushes or store them in closed containers (closed, moist environments are more
conductive to microorganism growth than in the open air)
Replace your toothbrush or toothbrush head once every three to four months
