| Popular ingredients in ancient
toothpaste include powdered fruit, talc, honey and
dried flowers - as well as mice and lizard livers.
The development of toothpaste can be traced to 500
B.C. in China and India. Soap and chalk were components
of toothpaste in the 1800s. Modern toothpaste in collapsible
tubes was introduced in the 1850s. Fluoride wasn't
added to toothpaste until 1956. |
