Oral Care Category Overview
The Oral Care category, identified by the numeric ID 526, falls under the path Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Oral Care. This classification is intended for products designed specifically for the maintenance of dental and oral hygiene.
What Belongs in This Category
This category includes a wide range of hygiene products intended for the mouth, teeth, and gums. Examples from the US market include various toothpaste formulations, such as fluoride-based cavity protection, sensitivity-relief gels, and whitening toothpastes. Additionally, this category encompasses tools for daily dental cleaning and specialized treatments.
- Toothpastes and oral gels for cavity protection or whitening
- Manual and electric toothbrushes along with their specific accessories
- Dental floss, interdental cleaners, and power flossers
- Mouthwash, breath sprays, and tongue scrapers
- Denture-related supplies including adhesives, cleaners, and repair kits
What Does Not Belong Here
Do not place products related to other personal care routines here. For example, items categorized as Shaving & Grooming, Cosmetics, or Hair Care must be assigned to their respective specific categories under the Personal Care parent. Furthermore, if you are selling medical-grade devices for Back Care, Foot Care, or Vision Care, these belong in their own distinct paths rather than under Oral Care.
Using Subcategories
Always select the most specific subcategory available, such as Toothbrushes, Mouthwash, or Denture Adhesives, instead of using the general Oral Care ID 526.
Feed Implementation
Use either 526 or the string Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Oral Care for your google_product_category attribute. While optional, providing this is recommended to ensure accurate Google categorization; note that product_type remains a separate, free-form field for your internal organization.
