Dr. Best Toothbrush

Dr. Best is a German brand of dental care products, particularly known for its toothbrushes. Established in 1953 by M + C Schiffer, the brand gained prominence in the late 1980s with a successful advertising campaign promoting its innovative flexible toothbrushes. In 1970, the brand was sold to Lingner-Werke, which later merged with Fischer-Werke in 1974 to form Lingner + Fischer. This entity eventually became part of SmithKline Beecham in 1989 and has been under the ownership of GlaxoSmithKline since 2000. Manufacturing of Dr. Best toothbrushes is primarily based in Germany, with products available through subsidiaries like Haleon Germany GmbH. GlaxoSmithKline, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is the ultimate owner of the Dr. Best brand, overseeing its global operations and product development.
