The ancient Chinese were very advanced when it came to dental hygiene. In fact, early toothpastes contained mint and ginger to keep teeth clean and breath fresh. They also used toothbrushes made of bristly horsehair to break up plaque. Today, Chinese health officials endorse similar dental health practises as Americans do. This includes brushing twice a day and using brisk circular motions while brushing. The Chinese practised personal cleanliness to a remarkable degree. Half a millennium before the birth of Christ, the etiquette of a gentleman demanded that he wash his hands five times a day, take a bath every fifth day, and wash his hair every third day. With the coming of Buddhism, after the second century of the Christian era, the bathhouse arrived in China, not just for the upper classes but for common folks as well, and in bathing and washing, the Chinese used detergents, not soaps, from the beginning of history. They also washed their teeth with tooth powder. The Chinese of old were conscious of the relationship between pure drinking water and disease prevention. Covers were made for wells. In some cases, devices like our modem sand filters were used to purify water.
