America brushes up: The use and marketing of toothpaste and toothbrushes in the twentieth century / by K. Segrave. McFarland & Company, c2010.
"This excursion into American cultural history looks at the toothpaste and toothbrush industries from 1900 to 2008. During these years, America moved from cleaning their teeth mostly with homemade powders to using enourmous array of brands, often applied with an electric toothbrush. From early 20th century products like Forhan's (which 'cured' pyorrhea) to the whiteners of the 1920s (which unfortunately also removed tooth enamel), and from paste that eliminated 'that clinging film' and to copywriters who 'wondered where the yellow went', the history of toothpaste has long been a testament of the power of misleading advertising."
