Oral-B Junior Toothpaste

Oral-B Junior is a dental hygiene product specifically formulated for children's teeth. The brand itself was founded in 1950 by Periodontist Dr. Robert W. Hutson in California, USA, after he patented a toothbrush with thin, round-ended nylon bristles. The brand name signifies its focus on oral health and the 'B' for 'Brush'.

Over the decades, the brand underwent significant ownership changes. It was initially acquired by the Gillette Company in 1984. Later, in 2005, the consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble (P&G) acquired Gillette, bringing Oral-B into its massive global profile of personal care brands. Most Oral-B toothpaste products, particularly those sold in the European market like the one shown, are manufactured in Germany, where P&G maintains significant production and research facilities for oral care.
