German term or phrase: Set
Die Frage ist Deutsch-Englisch.

Es geht um ein Zahnpflege-Set. Dieses besteht aus einer Zahnbürste, Zahnpasta und Zahnseide. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob man im Englischen auch set verwenden kann. Danke.

Ein Zahnpflege-Set kommt kostenlos dazu.

agree  davidgreen: yes, set is already English but perhaps "dental care set" as there are 30,000 google hits as opposed to 71

Dental care set


Explanation:
While I have no quarrel with Louise's posting, the above is what I would probably use, because it's far and away the commonest expression; but you have other options: tooth care set, oral care set, oral hygiene set.

Much will depend on the level of the target audience, I fancy...
