## What is Sheffield AR?

The Dr. Sheffield's app brings 19th-century dental pioneer Dr. Washington Wentworth Sheffield to life through augmented reality. With humor and storytelling - and a hypnotic beard - the original inventor of modern day toothpaste shares his time-tested secrets to historically natural oral care.
 
- Meet Dr. Washington Wentworth Sheffield, the inventor of toothpaste and the first to put it in a tube, which is still the standard today.
 
- Let Dr. Sheffield regale you with his wit and knowledge of all things toothpaste and what it’s like to suddenly wake up in the 21st century - which, for someone so far ahead of his time, is really no big deal.
 
- Engage with additional content to find how natural his toothpaste is, how effective it is at whitening, and what's in the new Activated Charcoal variety.
 
- Learn the history of Dr. Sheffield, the invention of toothpaste and the Sheffield Dentifrice Co.
 
- Discover where to find Dr. Sheffield's Naturals Toothpaste near you.
 
- Share the app with your friends and update regularly to access new experiences.
 
- Find out what a gigglemug is.

This app requires a box of Dr Sheffield's Certified Natural toothpaste to operate, or an image of the box's front, as well as your device's rear-facing camera. If you don't have a box of Dr. Sheffield's All Natural toothpaste, you can find images on the support page.

### 4/5 — Fun and informative yet slightly out of date

*2022-06-22*

What an idea to have the toothpaste to talk back to you. The only down side is that is a bit dated.

### 1/5 — Horrible and plain stupid

*2018-09-18*

You tools. This app isn’t fun. It’s a waste of 30 seconds of your life. The only way this could be fun to anyone is if you’re a brain dead text addicted crybaby snowflake chump. Yea go ahead and download it then lie and tell all your peeps “it’s amazing”. Ps this toothpaste is made in my own home town it’s stupid.  😡

How fun! This app is so unconventional. I love products that have a long history and when a company cares enough to bring those stories to life. Bravo for using augmented reality to introduce us to the inventor of toothpaste - Dr. Sheffield - being inventive and different, and jazzing up the toothpaste aisle! Plus, Dr. Sheffield’s is delicious - the best tasting toothpaste I’ve tried - and it’s completely natural!
