Can I Use My Electric Toothbrush in Sweden?
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.
