Can I Use My Electric Toothbrush in Sweden?

Plug adapter needed

Yes — with an adapter.

Your device handles this country's voltage, but the plug shape is different. You need a plug adapter to fit the sockets here. A plug adapter only changes the shape — it does not change voltage, and that's fine in this case because your device already supports the local voltage.

The short answer

Electric toothbrush charging bases are almost always dual-voltage (100–240V). A plug adapter is enough; the inductive base draws very little power.

Sweden runs 230V at 50Hz. Sweden runs 230V at 50Hz with Type C/F sockets, the Continental European standard.

Look for "INPUT 100–240V" on the label. If it says "120V" only — do not plug it in abroad without a converter.
