Toothbrush
A toothbrush is a dental instrument used for cleaning teeth, ideally in conjunction with toothpaste or mouthwash. The toothbrush consists of a plastic handle and nylon bristles attached to the head of the brush. Contemporary designs offer a variety of styles and shapes in a market that has swelled to $600 million in the mid-1990s, in part because of price increases, but also because toothbrushes are replaced frequently. On average each person in the United States purchases three toothbrushes every two years, although the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that brushes be changed every three to four months. The best-selling toothbrushes during the 1990s were the Oral-B brand, produced by Gillette Co.; a range of toothbrushes from the Colgate Palmolive Co.; and the Reach toothbrush made by Johnson & Johnson.
Modern medical research has shown that brushing teeth properly can prevent cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal, or gum, disease, which causes at least one-third of adult tooth loss. Gum disease occurs when plaque builds up, forming a gelatinous film that coats the teeth and gums. Plaque consists of about 75% bacteria, and it grows quickly. If teeth are not brushed correctly and frequently, it could lead to the calcification of saliva minerals, forming tartar.
Brushing one's teeth has long been considered an important part of dental hygiene. As long ago as 3000 B.C. ancient Egyptians constructed crude toothbrushes from twigs and leaves to clean their teeth. Similarly, other cultures such as the Greeks, Romans, and Indians cleaned their teeth with twigs. Some would fray one end of the twig so that it could penetrate between the teeth more effectively. By the 15th century the Chinese had designed a more sophisticated toothbrush complete with a brush attached to a handle. A century later the English nobility were using toothbrushes fashioned out of silver.
Toothbrush design has gone through few substantial changes in its long history. Until the early 1900s, toothbrush bristles were generally made of Siberian hog hair. But in 1938, the soft-bristled Miracle Tuft Toothbrush was invented. Within a decade, Oral-B was mass producing soft-bristled toothbrushes. In 1961, the electric toothbrush was introduced. Beginning in the late 1970s, the toothbrush industry started churning out a variety of new designs. They included variations in bristle shape, size, and texture, as well as unconventional handle styles.
Styles of Toothbrushes
By the 1990s, countless styles of toothbrushes filled the shelves of supermarkets and drug stores, many claiming their superiority over other brands. Consumers could choose from toothbrushes with soft or hard bristles, with natural or synthetic bristles, and in a variety of sizes, colors, and configurations. For instance, the Reach toothbrush by Johnson & Johnson was the first toothbrush designed with an angled handle which was intended to make brushing back teeth easier. A later variation on the Reach brush included bristles in a zigzag design.
Colgate also offered an angled brush. One model, called Rippled Bristles, was designed to reach the plaque trapped between teeth. Gillette designed the Oral-B Indicator
An environmentally sound toothbrush was designed by Jack Hokanson. His Hoke2 brush featured a non-disposable handle with a replaceable bristle head. Some of the most uniquely shaped brushes include the Radius, which featured a wide handle designed for an easier grasp and a large, shoe-brush shaped head packed with bristles. The Collis Curve toothbrush featured bristles which curved inward so that they would hug the teeth, allowing the user to brush the front and back of the teeth at the same time.
Improvements in electric toothbrushes included battery-operated models, rotating heads, and tufts of rotating bristles. A hightech electronic toothbrush, called the Interplak, featured two rows of bristles with tufts that would spin at 4200 rpm, constantly reversing direction, and pulsating against the teeth. The Interplak, as its name suggests, was designed to remove plaque.
Although many dental experts believe that almost any type of soft-bristled brush is
The Manufacturing
Process
Contemporary toothbrushes are produced mechanically. Generally, toothbrushes consist of plastic handles and nylon or natural boar bristles.
Molding the handles
- 1 Plastic is mixed and shaped into pellets. The pellets are then placed in an injection molding machine, which heats the plastic until it is melted. A rotating screw or plunger forces the liquid plastic into the handle molds. The molds form the entire handle, including the small holes, called cores, into which the bristles are inserted. The molds are securely clamped, and pressure is applied to the molds while the plastic cools. Once the molds have adequately cooled, the clamps are removed, and small pins push the handles out of the molds.
The filling machine
- 2 The bristles, which are usually made of nylon, are positioned into the core of the handle automatically. The bristles are then stapled into the core with tiny metal staples.
Trimming the bristles
- 3 Next, the toothbrush passes through a trimming machine which slices the bristles to the correct length and shape for the particular design.
Packaging the toothbrushes
- 4 The toothbrushes are packaged into cardboard and/or plastic containers. Labels are attached to the package, providing product information such as bristle hardness, as well as recommendations for usage. If the brand is approved by the American Dental Association, the Seal of Acceptance is also stamped on the container.
- 5 Finally, the packaged toothbrushes are bundled into larger shipping boxes or crates and transported to distributors.
Quality Control
The American Dental Association tests a number of toothbrushes and other dental products each year. The ADA measures the efficiency and comfort of toothbrushes and those which meet with their standards are awarded the "ADA Seal of Acceptance." By the mid-1990s the ADA approved more than 45 different toothbrush brands.
The toothbrush is an oral hygiene instrument used to clean the teeth and gums that consists of a head of tightly clustered bristles mounted on a handle, which facilitates the cleansing of hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Toothpaste, which often contains fluoride, is commonly used in conjunction with a toothbrush to increase the effectiveness of toothbrushing. Toothbrushes are available with different bristle textures, sizes and forms. Most dentists recommend using a toothbrush labelled "soft", since hard bristled toothbrushes can damage tooth enamel and irritate the gums. Toothbrushes have usually been made from synthetic fibers since they were developed, although animal bristles are still

The Process of Toothpaste Making
Toothpaste processing methods vary depending on the product type and ingredients used.
A typical toothpaste manufacturing process could be described as follows:
• The liquid base is prepared first – water, sorbitol/glycerin and other liquid ingredients.
• Rheology modifiers may be pre-mixed with a non-aqueous liquid ingredient such as glycerin or the flavoring oil, or dry blended with other powdered ingredients to aid dispersion.
• The active ingredient, sweetener and preservative are added and dispersed.
• The abrasive/filler is then added. This may be supplied as slurry, or premixed with part of the water prior to blending with the liquid base.
• Flavoring and coloring are added
• The detergent is added last under slow speed agitation to minimize foaming. It is typically in solid form to avoid adding water to the formulation at this stage.

oothpastes are generally either white abrasive pastes or clear gels. Although the formulations differ they share many common ingredients. These include: liquid base (typically sorbitol or glycerin), fillers and abrasives, rheology modifiers, detergent, active ingredients like fluoride, flavor, sweetener, coloring and preservatives.
Gel toothpastes can be manufactured using a Silverson mixer, and several stages of white toothpaste manufacture can also benefit from high shear mixing.
A method is disclosed for the manufacture of a toothpaste containing an ingredient mixture of a calcium carbonate abrasive, a thickener and an aqueous humectant wherein there is sequentially added the calcium carbonate abrasive dispersed in a high solids aqueous dispersion containing 50 to 80% by weight calcium carbonate to the aqueous humectant and thereafter adding the binder and binding the ingredients before any further ingredients are added to the mixture to produce the toothpaste.
Alternative Options for Brushing Teeth with Baking Soda:
Baking Soda and Vinegar. Dissolve first the baking soda in water and add a few drops of white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Brush for two minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Baking Soda and Strawberry. Strawberries contain powerful anti-oxidant properties and work in harmony with whitening teeth. Mash up one whole ripe strawberry into a pulp and then add enough baking soda to make a paste. Apply to your toothbrush and brush for two minutes. Rinse mouth and toothbrush thoroughly.
Baking Soda and Toothpaste. Mix a small amount of baking soda with your desired toothpaste to make a paste. Dip toothbrush into the paste (an alternative is to simply sprinkle baking soda on top of the toothpaste on your brush). Brush for two minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Hydrogen Peroxide Teeth Whitening With Baking Soda. Hydrogen peroxide is known to have whitening and bleaching effects. Mix half a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide with a teaspoon of baking soda to form a paste. Dip the toothbrush into the paste. Brush for two minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Baking Soda and Salt. Add 1 teaspoon of table salt to 3 teaspoons of baking soda. Salt’s abrasive effect enhances the plaque removal and whitening process. Apply a desired amount in the toothbrush and brush for two minutes. Rinse per usual after done brushing.
Baking Soda, Peppermint Extract and Glycerin. The mixture of these three creates fresh tasting toothpaste. Mix 3 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin with a few drops of peppermint oil to start with. Add in 1/2 teaspoon of salt along with 5 teaspoons of baking soda. Mix the ingredients completely. Apply to toothbrush, brush for two minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Baking Soda and Lemon Juice or Lime Juice. Citric acid in these fruits is an effective bleaching agent. Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda with half a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice. Brush your teeth and leave the mixture for about a minute before rinsing thoroughly. Most dentists do not recommend this method because the corrosive properties of the citric acid damage the teeth.
