Best Answer

The first toothbrush to resemble the modern toothbrush is believed to have been invented in China in the late 1400s, which used the stiff hairs from a hog's neck, attached to a bamboo stick.
People have been cleaning their teeth with twigs and chewed sticks for thousands of years, but the first real brush recorded was in China in 1223.

In 1780 William Addis of Clerkenwall, England, made the first mass-produced toothbrush for sale. The first ones were made from bone and boar bristles.

In America H. N. Wadsworth patented a toothbrush in 1857 but it wasn't mass-produced till 1885.

The first toothbrush NOT made with animal hair, but with nylon bristles, by Dupont, went on sale in 1938.

The first electric toothbrush was developed in 1959, by Bristol-Myers.
In China around the year 1500, records show of a brush using bristles made of hair from the back neck of a boar. It is only in 1938 that Dupont de Nemours introduced the Nylon Bristles.
