Oral-B 3D White Advanced Express Whitening Glossy White toothpaste

Oral-B is a globally leading brand in oral hygiene, originally founded in 1950 in California, USA, by Dr. Robert W. Hutson, a periodontist who patented the first toothbrush with soft, end-rounded nylon bristles. The brand quickly became a staple in dental offices and households alike due to its clinical focus and professional recommendations.

In 1984, Oral-B was acquired by the Gillette Company. Following the massive merger in 2005 between Gillette and Procter & Gamble (P&G), Oral-B became part of P&G's extensive portfolio of consumer goods. Today, the brand is managed under P&G’s Oral Care division alongside other major brands like Crest and Fixodent.

While Oral-B products are sold in over 150 countries, manufacturing is specialized. Toothpaste products for the European market, including the '3D White' line seen here, are primarily manufactured in Germany (often at P&G's facilities in Schwalbach or Gross-Gerau). The ultimate owner remains the American multinational corporation Procter & Gamble, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
