Colgate Total Toothpaste - Total Protection
Strong teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath are of supreme importance when it comes to carrying one’s personality. Lack of attention towards oral hygiene can cause conditions like gingivitis, plaque, tartar, cavities, etc.
With so many toothpaste brands to choose from, it is very difficult to know the best suitable toothpaste because there are cavity fighting toothpastes, whitening toothpastes, super whitening, extra whitening, ultimate, sensitive, total etc toothpastes. The best toothpaste depends on our dental needs; never believe in misleading advertisements & marketing strategies of the toothpaste companies.
I was very shocked to read that some popular toothpastes and tooth powders in India have high levels of nicotine. Researchers at the Delhi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research (DIPSAR) tested 10 tooth powders and 24 toothpastes brands. They found large amounts of nicotine in 11 of these non-tobacco products.
Nicotine in the toothpastes and tooth powders gets absorbed in the body when it directly comes in contact with the skin. This makes the product addictive. Researchers have named plenty of known toothpaste brands such as the Colgate Herbal and Neem Tulsi, Alka Dantamanjan, Dabur Red or Vicco. In all these toothpastes, there has been found nicotine as an active ingredient in the mixture. The fresh feeling that we get after brushing rigorously our teeth with herbal toothpaste, could be the result of the nicotine contained in toothpaste.
According to several experts in the field, adding nicotine to toothpaste might not only be extremely dangerous to the human health, but it is also illegal. The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act of 2003, it is clearly forbidden by law to add any kind of nicotine content ingredients to non-nicotine based products.
Choosing the best toothpaste is important. It is always safe to take suggestions from the dentist to know the suitable toothpaste for our teeth. From several years I am using Colgate Total toothpaste. Colgate-Palmolive is a trusted brand for dental care, personal care, home care and professional oral care. Colgate Toothpastes are scientifically proven oral care products with multiple benefits. It’s Calcium and Mineral formula spreads around and penetrates in between teeth to provide all around decay protection.
The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs’ Acceptance of Colgate Total toothpaste is based on its finding that the product is effective in helping to prevent and reduce tooth decay. Colgate Total toothpaste removes surface stains from teeth. With less surface stain, teeth will look whiter. The whitening toothpaste does not change tooth color. True teeth whitening or teeth bleaching can’t be done with toothpaste.
The refreshing Mint flavor has over four times as much fluoride as most toothpastes to prevent cavities and decrease sensitivity. For Cavity preventing toothpaste one should look for fluoride in toothpaste. Colgate Total toothpaste has more fluoride than others. This is a good product for those who have a lot of teeth with cavities. Colgate also helps to decrease tooth sensitivity.
Overall Colgate Total Toothpaste helps to prevent cavities, prevents plaque buildup, prevents gingivitis, reduces gum bleeding, strengthens enamel, whitens teeth & fights bad breath.
Please Note : Check the ingredients and make sure the toothpaste addresses your particular needs.
