Discover where a brand or product originates
Oral-B is a cornerstone brand in the global oral hygiene industry, recognized primarily for its dental care products including manual and electric toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouthwashes. The brand traces its origins back to 1950 in the United States, when Dr. Robert W. Huston, a California periodontist, invented a soft-bristled toothbrush that would define the brand's name—the 'Oral' referring to the mouth and 'B' standing for brush.
Today, Oral-B is owned by the American multinational consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble (P&G). While the brand was originally independent and later owned by Gillette, P&G's acquisition of Gillette in 2005 brought Oral-B into its massive portfolio of household names. Manufacturing is a global operation designed to meet regional demand, though significant production for the European market and advanced formulations like the 3D White Advanced line often takes place in specialized facilities in Germany.
