FAQ

Our Oral-B electric toothbrushes all come with region specific battery chargers. To use them abroad you may need a voltage converter, plug adapter, or both as it depends on the country you are traveling to.

Follow these simple steps to find out if you can use your toothbrush abroad:

  • Check the voltage printed on the base of your charger.
  • Check the voltage of the country you are travelling to.
  • Check the table below to find out if you need a voltage converter.

110 Volts 60 cycles
In countries with 110 volts (for example US/Canada)
Yes - if the voltage in the country you are travelling to is higher than 110

What is a plug adapter?

A plug adapter allows a dual-voltage appliance from one country to be plugged into the wall outlet of another country. They do not convert electricity.

What is a voltage converter?

A voltage converter is an electric power conversion device used to change the electrical output of a power source. You can find plug adapters & voltage converters at most electronics or travel stores. Oral-B does not make either.

Are you travelling from the USA to Europe?

If your charger is a USA 110v you can purchase an Oral-B 220v charger which can be used overseas, instead of using a voltage converter. The charger will work in most European countries that have the two round plug ends. We also recommend purchasing a plug adapter in case you visit a country that has a different plug style such as the UK.

No, you cannot replace the battery in your Oral-B electric toothbrush. The battery is contained within the electronics of the toothbrush handle and the unit is then sealed to keep it water tight. For these reasons we do not provide replacement batteries for Oral-B electric toothbrushes.
