Why did you change Colgate Total toothpaste?
We've updated our Colgate Total toothpaste formula to offer consumers the most advanced oral care. New Colgate Total Active Prevention toothpastes provide protection against seven oral health issues: bad breath, cavities, enamel erosion, tartar, plaque, teeth stains, and bacteria on gums. They come with a wide range of taste experiences and textures tailored to different needs. This change is all about giving you improved oral health benefits through cutting-edge technology.
Is the new Colgate Total toothpaste as effective as the old one?
Absolutely! The new Colgate Total Active Prevention formula maintains all the key benefits of the old version and, with its use of stannous fluoride as the antibacterial ingredient, is our best toothpaste yet. This new addition ensures powerful antibacterial effects, helping to reduce plaque, freshen breath, fight bacteria on gums, and tartar build-up. The new formula is designed to continue delivering the trusted benefits of Colgate Total, while also enhancing the user experience with customised sensory experiences with each toothpaste in the range.
What are the main differences between the new Colgate Total Active Prevention and previous Colgate Total versions?
The main difference is in the antibacterial ingredient. The previous version used a zinc-based system, while the new one uses stannous fluoride. Stannous fluoride is effective at fighting bacteria on your teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. This helps prevent common oral health issues such as tartar, plaque build-up, cavities, and bad breath. Stannous fluoride has been safely used in toothpaste for over 70 years, so you can trust it to be safe and effective for keeping your mouth healthy. Also, the new Colgate Total Active Prevention range offers a more customised experience across the entire selection, with each toothpaste providing different flavours and textures to cater to diverse preferences and elevate the overall toothbrushing experience.
