Oral Health Topics

The first toothbrushes were small sticks or twigs mashed at one end to create a broader cleaning surface. The Chinese lay claim to the first bristle toothbrush. Europe adopted the bristle brush in the 17th century, and many dentists practicing in colonial America advised their patients to use the brush.

Featured topics in Oral Health Topics include: Introduction, Fluoride, The Preventive Program, Fillings, Infection Control, Latex Allergy, Age and Oral Health, Tobacco, Oral Piercing, and High-Tech Office.
