Dr. Sheffield’s Toothpaste has a unique claim to fame—it’s the original toothpaste.

Manufactured in New London on the same grounds where Dr. Washington Sheffield invented toothpaste and put it in a tube more than 160 years ago, the product continues a Connecticut manufacturing legacy.

Since the brand’s relaunch in 2017, the company has expanded to nine variations and now produces about 500,000 units annually—a figure that continues to grow.
