It all started with a dentist, back in 1950, Dr. Robert Hutson, a Californian periodontist, who designed and patented the first Oral-B toothbrush.

He created the first Oral-B toothbrush with revolutionary soft, end-rounded nylon bristles.

The Oral-B brand is today a worldwide leader in the toothbrush market. Part of the Procter & Gamble Company since 2006, the Oral-B brand includes dentifrice, manual and power toothbrushes for children and adults, oral irrigators, oral care centers, floss, and interdental products.

Oral-B provides high-quality products, tools, and knowledge that can help dental professionals and patients prevent and treat problems and become even more compliant in their oral health regimens.Oral-B also understands the need to provide dental professionals with a resource for scientific exchange through its website www.dentalcare.com. This online resource includes patient education materials, over 400 peer reviewed CE courses designed for dental students, graduates and practicing dentists.
