Colgate Gum Invigorate Toothbrush [Colours May Vary]

Product Information

There’s only a hint of mintiness to this toothpaste, which relies on the approach we’re increasingly seeing in skincare – that it’s important to protect the biome, which is the flora and fauna which thrives not just on our skin, but in our mouths. The whitening replacement toothbrush heads can only be used with the Colgate Link Aluminium handle and have advanced head technology with stain removing cups that help to reduce surface stains on your teeth whilst giving you a whiter smile from the very first brushing. We’re all in favour of giving the humble toothpaste tube a style makeover, but not if it compromises practicality. The sweetness comes from propolis – the sticky brown resin deposited near the entrances of beehives.

It’s a love/hate toothpaste – when sniffing it for the first time, a fellow tester commented “why do I want to taste like a naan bread?The silver lining to our addiction to both tea and anything sweet meant our mouths were the perfect testing ground for these toothpastes.

What’s more, this toothpaste for sensitive teeth remineralises tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks, which could cause sensitivity.This bright blue toothpaste comes with a long list of claims – it will, according to the blurb, prevent cavities, prevent plaque, protect against sensitivity, prevent tartar, prevent enamel erosion, freshen breath and whiten teeth. Colgate Gum Invigorate Revitalise Toothpaste contains minerals and ginseng extract to help invigorate your gums for firmly protected teeth, day after day. With its metallic letters and sleek tapered tube, it also provides a designer-inspired upgrade for your bathroom cabinet.

The NHS’s official advice states that adults should use a toothpaste which contains at least 1,350 parts per million (ppm) fluoride. These include green tea, used for its deodorising action and extra fluoride to prevent dental cavities. The toothbrush has soft high density bristles that wrap around each tooth individually, as well as a small 3. No, it won’t give you the ridiculously whitened smile of celebs like Simon Cowell or Rylan Clark, but what it will do is remove light stains for lighter, brighter teeth. It’s very white and rather drippy – you’ll need to start brushing as soon as you’ve loaded up your toothbrush unless you want to leave toothpaste trails all over your sink.

That said, this is a wonderfully minty toothpaste which left our teeth – and mouth – feeling fabulously, thoroughly clean. It's advanced head technology with stain removing cups help to reduce surface stains on your teeth, giving you a whiter smile from the very first brushing.
