Florence Manufacturing Company, of Florence, Massachusetts, sold its Prophylactic brand toothbrush under a name that stressed prevention, and this advertisement puts that promise front and center. Advertisements like this one were part of a broader push in the late 1800s and early 1900s to make daily tooth brushing a routine habit, when dental care was still uncommon for many households. Notice how the copy leans on the idea of hygiene and preventing decay, a message that helped shape modern oral care.
