The history of toothpaste
In the 18th century, Britain began industrial production of tooth powder, which was also the first time that “tooth powder” appeared as a commodity. Early dental powder mainly used calcium carbonate as a friction agent and soap as a surfactant, playing a basic cleaning role for teeth.
In 1840, the French invented metal hoses, which provided suitable packaging for some daily necessities, leading to a reform in the form of some commodities. In 1893, the Viennese man Seg invented toothpaste and placed it in a hose. Afterwards, toothpaste began to develop in large quantities and gradually replaced tooth powder.
