Inrepparttar 18th Century,repparttar 115048 next recorded version of toothpaste occurred. This mixture called for dragon's blood, cinnamon and burn alum. This mixture tends to be more of an amusement for many scientists, as there is no proof that "dragon's" existed. What may have really been considered to be dragon's blood is unknown.

The 19th Century saw a lot of innovations to toothpaste, although many of them would be repulsive compared to what we are used to today. Charcoal, for example, was used to clean teeth. Most ofrepparttar 115049 toothpastes of this time were powders that became a paste when introduced to saliva. A lot of these different toothpastes were designed to both clean teeth and giverepparttar 115050 user better breath. This is whererepparttar 115051 modern idea for toothpaste came of, and one ofrepparttar 115052 turn points inrepparttar 115053 history of toothpaste. The combination of these pastes andrepparttar 115054 toothbrush worked to ensure that there was a higher chance of cleaner and healthier teeth and gums.

It wasn't untilrepparttar 115055 1900s that toothpastes evolved to be more modern. Colgate, and many other toothpaste companies, worked to design toothpastes that tasted good while providingrepparttar 115056 means to clean teeth while not causing gums to bleed. Many ingredients are now used in toothpastes, with Fluoride being one ofrepparttar 115057 most common. There are a wide variety of "herbal" toothpastes as well, which do not contain this component. Each of these types are designed to fitrepparttar 115058 needs and wants of every type of person out there. This high level of choice isrepparttar 115059 primary evolution of toothpastes. While only a few were available as early asrepparttar 115060 Egyptian days, now there is something for everyone.

The combination ofrepparttar 115061 toothpaste and modern toothbrush gives everyonerepparttar 115062 oral hygiene and dental health that they need to be able to haverepparttar 115063 sparkling teeth that is desired by so many. This combination also helps preventrepparttar 115064 loss of your teeth later in life, so that dentures are not required as early. The history ofrepparttar 115065 toothbrush and toothpaste shouldn't be looked down upon, asrepparttar 115066 options used back then were no where near as pleasant asrepparttar 115067 types available today.
