DO NOT BUY COLGATE TOTAL SF! So I was a loyal Colgate Total toothpaste user from my late teens. Loved Total toothpaste as I wouldn’t get that icky teeth feeling till my next brushing. Bought a 2 pack of the Colgate Total SF ( sensitive formula) a couple of months ago not realizing that the formula was different. OH MY GOSH I cannot explain the excruciating pain in my whole mouth after using this.
I honestly didn’t even think it was the toothpaste doing this and used it for several weeks. My inner cheek skin and the roof part of my mouth was literally peeling off ( like when you drink something scalding hot) , my gums were inflamed and started to bleed, and got blisters around my gums/ under my tongue/in front of my teeth even where the lower lip and gum connects ( that blister on that connector part was insanely painful! ) ! I really thought I had the coronavirus or a disease/infection in my mouth. I couldn’t eat anything except mashed and bland food.
The day when the blisters felt like hell I couldn’t get in touch with my dentist bc of the covid shutdown. I cried to my husband and told him I was in so much pain. I was popping like crazy and using all over my mouth. He told me to try and switch to his ( other brand) toothpaste and to see if that would help. I had told him that I’ve been using this Total toothpaste forever. That’s when I looked at the tube to see if anything was different and noticed it said SF next to Total on the tube.
This is the WORST toothpaste ever! Sensitive Formula? No freaking way! Exact opposite! I just called Colgate and complained and they told me that they haven’t received any complaints about the Total SF formula. That has to be a TOTAL LIE ( pun intended) as I just saw all the negative reviews with similar reactions on here! Umm class action lawsuit? I’m sooo angry and upset! Colgate you so lost me as a loyal consumer! WARNING TO EVERYONE READING THIS NOT TO USE COLGATE TOTAL SF!
