Tang Dynasty bone toothbrush unearthed in Chengdu, China's hair transplanter can be traced back to a thousand years ago

This bone toothbrush from the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Chengdu has advanced the history of the development of toothbrushes with tufts in my country for more than 200 years, indicating that there were toothbrushes with tufts in the Tang Dynasty. The earliest dental ware in China is willow branches. In the late Tang Dynasty, people soaked willow branches in water. When they needed to use them, they bite the willow branches with their teeth, and the willow fibers inside would be expended, like small wooden comb teeth, which are very convenient for toothbrushes. The old saying 'Morning Chew Tooth Wood' is the source of this. In the Song Dynasty, there were substitutes similar to toothpaste. The ancients used Poria and other medicinal materials to cook 'ancient toothpasteIf you are afraid of not being cleaned, use your fingers to replace the current toothbrush. Otherwise, it is the willow twigs mentioned earlier, soaked in ancient toothpaste to clean your teeth. According to ancient records, by the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already shops specializing in making and selling toothbrushes in the city. At that time, the toothbrush was made of bone, horn, bamboo, wood and other materials. Two rows of pores were drilled on the head, and horsetails were planted on the head. It is very close to modern toothbrushes. According to records, since the first toothbrush in Europe appeared in 1780, the oral hygiene history of the Chinese was at least 800 years earlier than that of the Europeans.
