Oral-B is an oral-care brand known for toothbrushes and dental-care products that combine everyday hygiene with product innovation. Its origins date to 1949, when California periodontist Dr. Robert Hutson developed a softer nylon-bristle toothbrush designed to be gentler on gums. Today, Oral-B is part of Procter & Gamble’s oral-care portfolio.

About Oral-B

Oral-B began in 1949, when Dr. Robert Hutson created a toothbrush using soft nylon filaments after becoming concerned that harder brushes could damage patients’ gums. The name Oral-B was derived from “Oral Brush,” and the brand grew from its dental-professional roots into a widely recognized oral-care name.

Over time, Oral-B expanded beyond manual toothbrushes and became closely associated with powered brushing technology. The brand now sits within Procter & Gamble’s Global Oral Care business, alongside other oral-care brands in the company’s portfolio.

What Oral-B Offers

Oral-B’s product range includes electric toothbrushes, manual toothbrushes, replacement brush heads, dental floss and water flossers, alongside other oral-care products and accessories.

Its electric toothbrush range includes several product families, including the iO, Genius, Smart and Pro series, with selected models incorporating features such as pressure sensing, brushing timers and app connectivity.
