If you do find yourself using a toothpick, use only minimal pressure and always keep the tip pointed away from your gums. Safe and [...]

Toothpaste, Before The Tube

How Product Packaging Improved Oral Health You might think tubes would make an obvious package for toothpaste, but the first toothpaste in a tube wasn't sold till 1892. These kinds of containers had been around for 50 years but were only used for storing oil paints. Most folks associated collapsible tubes with "Burnt Umber" or "Cadmium Yellow." Hardly the sort of thing you applied to your teeth. Up until then, toothpaste was packaged in expensive porcelain jars that only the rich could afford—making it [...]
