Our History
Dr. Washington Wentworth Sheffield was a respected dentist and dental surgeon. In the mid-1870s, he thought of a new tooth cleaning product in a cream form as a replacement for the tooth powders common at the time. He made his own dental cream in his office and added mint extracts to it to improve the flavor He used it on his patients who expressed their liking for it. After establishing his company in 1880, with the help of his son, he constructed a manufacturing plant on his property to produce a mouthwash he had previously invented, as well as the new toothpaste. This manufacturing plant still stands strong and it continues to produce his toothpaste in New London, Connecticut.
Dr. Lucius T. Sheffield was the only child of Dr. Sheffield. While his father was the first person to invent toothpaste, Lucius was the first person to place the paste into collapsible tubes. Lucius was inspired by Parisian artists preparing their paint palettes. He realized the collapsible tubes they used to squeeze paint onto palettes could be used to squeeze his father’s new toothpaste onto a toothbrush in a sanitary manner.
