Toothbrush
History
A variety of oral hygiene measures have been used since before recorded history. This has been verified by various excavations done all over the world, in which chewsticks, tree twigs, bird feathers, animal bones and porcupine quills were recovered. The first toothbrush recorded in history was made in 3000 B.C., the toothbrush was called a chewstick, which was a twig with a frayed end
Many peoples have used forms of toothbrushes through the ages. Indian medicine (Ayurveda) has used the neem tree (a.k.a. daatun) and its products to create toothbrushes and similar products for millennia. The end of a neem twig is chewed until it is soft and splayed, and it is then used to brush the teeth. In the Muslim world, the miswak, or siwak, made from a twig or root with antiseptic properties has been widely used since the time of the Prophet Mohamed who used it himself and appreciated it use in 570-632 AD(check “miswak” for reference). Rubbing baking soda or chalk against the teeth has also been common practice in history. Pioneers used a cob of corn and added salt to brush their teeth.
The first toothbrush to resemble the modern toothbrush is believed to have been invented in China. Japanese Zen master Dgen Kigen recorded on Shbgenz that he saw some monks clean their teeth with a brush when he had been in China in 1223. This brush used horse tail hairs attached to a stick made of ox bone.
A photo from 1899 showing the use of toothbrush.
The earliest identified use of the word toothbrush in English was in the autobiography of Anthony Wood in 1690, in a sentence about buying a toothbrush from a man named J. Barret.
William Addis of England is credited with creating the first mass-produced toothbrush in 1780. In 1770 he had been placed in jail for causing a riot. While in prison, he decided that the method for teeth brushing of the time rubbing a rag on one’s teeth with soot and salt could be improved. So he took a small animal bone, drilled small holes in it, obtained some bristles from a guard, tied them in tufts, then passed the bristles through the holes on the bone and glued them. He soon became very wealthy. He died in the year 1808 and left the business to his eldest son, William II.
The first patent for a toothbrush was by H. N. Wadsworth in 1857 (US Patent No. 18,653) in the United States, but mass production of the product in America only started in 1885. The rather advanced design had a bone handle with holes bored into it for the Siberian Boar hair bristles. Boar wasn’t an ideal material; it retained bacteria, it didn’t dry well, and the bristles would often fall out of the brush. It wasn’t until World War II, however, that the concept of brushing teeth really caught on in the U.S., in part because it was part of American soldiers’ regular daily duty to clean their teeth. It was a practice that they brought back to their home life after the conclusion of the war.

Natural bristles (from animal hair) were replaced by synthetic fibers, usually nylon, by DuPont in 1938. The first nylon bristle toothbrush, made with nylon yarn, went on sale on February 24, 1938. The first electric toothbrush, the Broxodent, was introduced by the Bristol-Myers Company (now Bristol-Myers Squibb) at the centennial of the American Dental Association in 1959.
In January 2003, the toothbrush was selected as the number one invention Americans could not live without, beating out the automobile, computer, cell phone, and microwave oven, according to the Lemelson-MIT Invention Index.
Environmental impact
Despite being comparatively a small source of pollution (as the amounts of resources required to make a single item are small), tooth brushes still make up for 50 million pounds of plastics per year for the USA alone that end up in landfills.

What will be the best utilization of Plastic Moulding machine which was used to making Toothbrush?
What is the best possible utilization of such machines.. I have around 4 such Plastic moulding machines along with other different machines..
i hope you are using for the first time. If you were using before you are only the right person, how to utilize the machine. Any how i hope this may be a 100gm capacity. You can utilize this machine for small plastic comp like nylon,abs,acrylic. The are so many companies which they require similar type of comp. you can consult the co. for the subcontract.
