who invented the toothpaste?

Question

what date?

Answer 1

The earliest known reference to a toothpaste is in a manuscript from Egypt in the 4th century A.D., which prescribes a mixture of powdered salt, pepper, mint leaves, and iris flowers. The Romans used toothpaste formulations based on human urine. Since urine contains ammonia, it was probably effective in whitening teeth. [1] An 18th century American toothpaste recipe containing burnt bread has been found. Another formula around this time called for dragon's blood, cinnamon, and burnt alum. [2]

However, toothpastes or powders did not come into general use until the 19th century. In the early 1800s, the toothbrush was usually used only with water, but tooth powders soon gained popularity. Most were home made, with chalk, pulverized brick, and salt being common ingredients. An 1866 Home Encyclopedia recommended pulverized charcoal, and cautioned that many patented tooth powders then commercially marketed did more harm than good.

By 1900, a paste made of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda was recommended. Pre-mixed toothpastes were first marketed in the 19th century, but did not surpass the popularity of tooth-powder until World War I.






In New York City in 1896, Colgate & Company manufactured toothpaste in the first collapsible tube, similar to that recently introduced for artists' paints

Answer 2

Tooth brush was invented before toothpaste for a long time.
A carpenter in England use pig hair to stick on a wood bar as a tooth brush. At that time toothpaste has not invented yet.
Years later, a father-ship mix peppermint, salt, Clo.. and other indigent to make a compound like toothpaste.
After that two Germany inventors find out a formula to make toothpaste. And they feel amazing that father ship's formula (many years ago) is the same.

I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a -scholarly- website that actually covered your question. It took me a little time, but I think I've found something that might be of use to you, from the discussion of the 'original' toothpaste to the more modern types of nowadays. Just check the link.

The problem is no one really knows of a specific inventor of the toothpaste as its creation was so long ago. It is also hard to pinpoint the exact date of the toothpaste's creation because what past humans called toothpaste we could just as well mistake as food or something else.
