Pharaonic Inventions We Use Today

The Fresh Minty Smile: Toothbrush and Toothpaste

Do you brush your teeth every morning and evening? We must thank the Pharaohs for this wonderful invention! The ancient Egyptians cared deeply about staying clean and absolutely hated toothaches. So, they created the world's very first toothbrush using a tiny tree branch, chewing its end until it turned into a soft brush. They didn't stop there; they made their own special toothpaste from fragrant mint and special salts to keep their teeth white and shiny like pearls, making their breath smell lovely and fresh all day long!

If you were going to invent a toothpaste with a totally weird, brand-new flavor, what flavor would you pick?
