Oral-B is a brand that is associated with oral hygiene items like toothpastes, toothbrushes, dental floss, and mouthwashes.
The first nylon bristle toothbrush in the world was invented by Henry Sargol, an Oral-B originator. Consequently, the popularity of the toothbrush was enhanced. In 1950, Henry Sargol again contributed by patenting the first toothbrush by Oral-B in the United States. Considering the continued popularity of Oral-B, it wasn’t surprising for it to be the first toothbrush to land on the moon. The Oral-B brand name was developed by Henry Sargol. The name Oral-B 60 was given to the first product based on the fact that there were 60 tuffs in the brush.
In 1984, Oral-B was acquired by the Gillette group. The Oral-B electronic toothbrushes’ brand was also utilized by Braun. In 2006, P&G acquired Oral-B with the purchase of Gillette. Additionally, it is essential to acknowledge that the letter “B” in the brand name, Oral-B, represents “brush.” The first Smartphone-connected toothbrush to be marketed under Oral-B was developed by P&G in 2014. There is a Bluetooth function that is linked to a phone application and programmed in such a way that a dentist helps people to improve the technique used in brushing.
Today, Oral-B comes in a wide range of manual and power brushes. The first category is the Precision Clean, which features TriZone. TriZone is known for its average sized brush head with an elongated tip head to penetrate hard to reach dental areas. It has long and short bristles, each performing a specific role. The second category is Professional Series, which comprises of four major groups. These are Professional, Triumph, TriZone and the Pulsonic.

John Murphy was my Mom’s Cousin. And Eugene Stanton was my uncle. We were from the Margaret (Murphy) and James Stanton part of the family. Eugene distributed the Oral B toothbrush throughout Ontario and Canada. I remember meeting the Sargols in Toronto years ago.
CORRECTIO)N …Mary Anne Hudson is entirely correct … Dr Hudson invented the Oral B toothbrush .. John Murphy – my uncle – put it on the market – my dad Henry Sargol was one of the original investors along with other family members and friends, I was present when Dr Hudson came into the Star Pharmacy drug store to discuss the possibilities of putting the brush on the market. ..
Thank you,

My father Dr. Robert W. Hutson invented the Oral B toothbrush not Henry Sargol.
Please check with Oral B on the correct history.
