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.

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.
