US dentist Dr. Val Kolpakov has over 1,800 toothpastes ranging from whiskey flavoured to curry and bamboo.One dates to World War II and has a radioactive compound. One quarter of his collection is displayed in his waiting room at Michigan.
One of the items Dr. Kolpakov considers the most rare, is an English antique Geogian 1801 silver tooth powder box.Toothpaste was not invented at that point of time and tooth powder was used instead. Dr. Kolpakov bought it for £1500.
His collection contains donations from various personal collection, companies and friends from all over the world.
He is awaiting a confirmation of this unique world record, as a new category had to be created for this record.
