Ever wondered what brushing your teeth was like centuries ago? Spoiler alert: it wasn't minty fresh! In this video, we take you on a bizarre journey through the history of toothpaste, from the gritty concoctions of Ancient Egypt to the spicy mixtures of medieval Europe. Discover the shocking ingredients that our ancestors used to keep their smiles (sort of) clean, including everything from crushed bones and oyster shells to burnt toast and even—brace yourself—urine. If you think modern toothpaste is weird, wait until you hear what people used to brush with in the past. You’ll never look at your toothbrush the same way again!
