Believe it or not, the toothbrush has a very long and interesting history. The first toothbrushes were actually small twigs(嫩 枝) that people would chew(咀嚼)on one end to soften the bristles(短而硬的纤维).These bristles were then used to clean their teeth. This may seem like a very ancient way of cleaning one's teeth. but it actually did a pretty good job! The first " modern'toothbrushes were made in China around 1498. These tooth brushes were made of pig hair and were much more comfortable to use than the twigs. In 178o, William Add is of England came up with the idea of making small holes in a bone(骨头)and putting bristles into the holes. He then glued the bone to a handle(柄) This design worked much better than the twigs and pig hair brushes and quickly became very popular. In 1845, the first toothbrush that was produced in large numbers was created by H.N. Wadsworth. His toothbrush was made of bone and bristles and was very similar to William Add's design. The first nylon toothbrush was created in 1938 by DuPont. Nylon bristles were much more effective at cleaning teeth than natural bristles and quickly became the standard. Today, toothbrushes come in all shapes and sizes and are made from all kinds of materials. You Can even buy electric toothbrushes that do all the work for you!Who would have thought that such a simple tool could have such an interesting history? The next time you reach for your toothbrush, take a moment to think about all the people who have used a toothbrush before you and all the people who will use one after you. 35.
