How did the toothbrush come about?
Before we even start talking about what kind of toothbrush is best for you, lets look at how toothbrushes even came about. Toothbrushes have been around for thousands of years; Babylonians and Egyptians made a toothbrush by fraying the end of a twig (doesn’t sound very glamorous!).

This design was brought to Europe and refined to use softer horsehairs which many Europeans preferred (do you blame them?).
