Four years later in 1896, Colgate began making its own brand.The Early Toothpastes.he history of toothpaste also shows that it was available in 9th century Persia. A musician named Ziryab invented a mixture similar to toothpaste. The exact ingredients are still unknown. However it became very popular, especially in Spain.
The first âtoothbrushâ (with bristles) was invented in China and was made of animal bone, bamboo and hog hair. The bristles were very hard. William Addis of England invented the first mass-produced toothbrush. While in prison, he drilled small holes in a cattle bone, tied swine fibers (from wild pigs) in bunches, passed them through the holes and then glued them. The first three-row bristle brush was designed by Dr. Meyer Rhein.
