Toothbrush Accessories
The Google product category ID for Toothbrush Accessories is 4775. It sits under Oral Care and has 3 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 3 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Toothbrush Accessories is the largest of the 20 categories under Oral Care, with 3 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Toothbrush AccessoriesToothbrush Covers
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Toothbrush Covers (6920) on level 5: Toothbrush Accessories › Toothbrush Covers. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4775) or the full path ("Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Oral Care > Toothbrush Accessories"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 3 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 4775 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Oral Care > Toothbrush Accessories |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 4775, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Toothbrush Accessories
3 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 3 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Toothbrush Accessories continues any further, so one of those 3 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Toothbrush Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Toothbrush Accessories?
4775. The full path, "Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Oral Care > Toothbrush Accessories", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Toothbrush Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Toothbrush Accessories has 3 directly below it, starting with Toothbrush Covers (6920), Toothbrush Replacement Heads (4776), Toothbrush Sanitizers (4942), and 3 in total further down. 4775 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Toothbrush Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Oral Care (526). The chain from the top is Health & Beauty → Personal Care → Oral Care → Toothbrush Accessories. If your product does not belong under Oral Care, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Toothbrush Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Oral Care first — there are 19 other categories at this level: Breath Spray (6189), Dental Floss (2620), Dental Mouthguards (5823), Dental Water Jet Replacement Tips (6455), Dental Water Jets (5295), Denture Adhesives (5155), and 13 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Oral Care (526) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Toothbrush Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Toothbrush Accessories is Toothbrush Accessories > Toothbrush Covers, ending at Toothbrush Covers (6920) on level 5. Not every branch below Toothbrush Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Toothbrush Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 20 at its level, carrying 3 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
