Oral-B EssentialFloss dental floss

Oral-B is a global leader in oral hygiene products, best known for its toothbrushes and dental floss. The brand was founded in the United States in 1950 by Dr. Robert W. Hutson, a periodontist who designed a new type of toothbrush.

Today, Oral-B is owned by the American multinational consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble (P&G). While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing operations are global, with production facilities in countries like Ireland, Germany, China, and Mexico to serve different regional markets. The 'Essentialfloss' pictured is a waxed dental floss designed to remove plaque in hard-to-reach areas, often labeled in multiple languages (such as Italian and Spanish seen here) for international distribution.
