To launch THE BIG RETHINK campaign, the brand is working together with the International Association for Disability and Oral Health (iADH) to help inform the approach. The first step of this partnership is the launch of the ‘Positive Practices’ programme, designed to train and educate dental practices on how to become more confident and inclusive when it comes to their patients. The programme will not only enable Oral-B to become more educated on the physical and mental needs of those with different types of disabilities, but it will also help them to learn how to adapt their product offering and improve the oral health outcomes of those with disabilities. THE BIG RETHINK Content Hub will also offer relevant and helpful content for people with disabilities, their caregivers and families, as well as the professional dental health community.

As Oral-B celebrates 60 years since the launch of the first electric toothbrush in 1963, the brand continues to put consumer understanding and leading-edge technology at the heart of its product development by designing inclusive products that help to bring about positive change in oral care for everyone. The brand is also developing a series of tools to support dentists within their practices, such as student training and accreditation programmes.
To celebrate the launch of THE BIG RETHINK, a brand film was unveiled last night at an exclusive launch event in Frankfurt, Germany. The event was an opportunity for Oral-B to set out its ambitions of THE BIG RETHINK and discuss the findings of The Oral Health & Disability European Study with an influential panel of speakers. Including P&G’s Chief Executive Officer for Healthcare, Jennifer Davis, iADH spokesperson, Johanna Norderyd, British broadcaster, Nikki Fox, British influencer James Hunt from Stories About Autism and popular German actor, Andre Dietz.
Jennifer Davis, P&G Chief Executive Officer, Healthcare says: “As a leading innovator in oral health for over 70 years and the world’s #1 dentist recommended toothbrush brand, we recognise the importance of making oral care accessible to all. We are indeed at the beginning of a very exciting journey, and we will continue to learn from both dental professionals and consumers to ensure we are creating positive oral care solutions for everyone – I really believe that this is the beginning of an initiative that has a global footprint.”
Benjamin Binot, P&G Europe Oral Care Senior Vice President comments: “Addressing the significant oral health inequalities experienced by people with disabilities in Europe is a huge priority for Oral-B. Our research shows that today, there are many oral health struggles amongst this audience – 1 in 5 (20%) of those with severe disabilities find brushing all their teeth physically challenging* and over a third of people with disabilities feel anxious or frustrated when it comes to visiting the dentist*. We want to help change this and believe that everyone should have an equitable oral health experience. Through our work with the iADH and the creation of the Positive Practices programme, we want to not only provide dental practices with educational materials to make their practices more inclusive, but also give the disabled community the tools they need to have more autonomy over their own oral health.
Alison Dougall, Professor in Special Care Dentistry, and an Executive Board member of iADH says; “We are delighted to have partnered with Oral-B to address the oral health struggles that are experienced by people with disabilities in Europe. Our shared values will enable us to make a huge difference to the oral care experience for people living with visible and nonvisible disabilities. We recognise that many healthcare professionals have not received education in special care dentistry during their training, and so by raising awareness around the issue and supporting those with disabilities, we can help to make small but significant adjustments to their oral health routines.”
