Immediately after brushing your teeth, bacteria can start to build up and cause conditions such as cavities, gingivitis, plaque, tartar, and bad breath!
Colgate Total® Advanced Fresh Gel is an anticavity fluoride and antigingivitis toothpaste uniquely formulated to deliver 12 hours of lasting breath freshness. That’s 12 hours of germ fighting protection! Featuring a combination triclosan, fluoride, and an advanced whitening ingredient, Colgate Total® Advanced Fresh Gel not only combats the causes of dental decay but also gently removes surfaces stains to give you a total clean.
The American Dental Association (ADA) has accepted Colgate Total Advanced Fresh Gel as effective in helping to prevent and reduce tooth decay and gingivitis and plaque above the gumline and breath, and to whiten teeth by removing surface stains when used as directed.
Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste is great to hit all the requirements I am looking for in a toothpaste. Whitens teeth and prevents cavities, gingivitis, plaque, and tartar while keeping my breathe clean. Now I can't say that my breath stays fresh for 12 hours but of course after eating its inevitable to have food particles stuck in my teeth. But then I can just brush my teeth with Colgate total protection and I'm good to go. Love the minty fresh flavor and I have been cavity free since I started using this toothpaste.
