You will bear me witness that there are many brands of toothpaste all over the world, many of which we cannot afford financially, and many we cannot tell how and where they were produced.

Over the years the human generation has used various things for brushing their teeth, we have heard many tales where our grand parents and great grand parents used grinded ceramic plate with hints of pepper then they apply it on chewing stick to brush their teeth.
