Fight Germs with Colgate Total Toothpaste Review & Giveaway

As the weather turns colder, germs are on a lot of people’s minds. We think twice about sitting on a public toilet seat and carry hand sanitizer wherever we go. But what most people don’t realize is that these supposedly germy items don’t even come close to the bacteria count inside our very own mouths. The average person can have more than 1 billion germs just on their teeth! That makes a toilet seat in the women’s restroom (558 germs per square inch*) feel almost clean by comparison. By the way, a smartphone can have over 1032 germs per square inch and a computer keyboard can have 473 germs per square inch. Just something to think about...

Did you know that germs are at the root of most common oral health issues including plaque, gingivitis, tarter build-up, cavities and bad breath. When you brush with regular toothpaste, the germs start growing back in your mouth the minute you stop brushing. Unlike ordinary toothpaste, Colgate Total® is the only toothpaste that’s clinically-proven to keep working long after you brush – fighting germs for a full 12 hours. In fact, Colgate Total toothpaste has a unique formula that reduces plaque germs by 90 percent 12 hours after brushing verses regular fluoride toothpaste.

 Thanks to Colgate I received two tubes; Colgate Total Advanced Whitening Paste and the Advanced Whitening Gel that just came out this month.  I have been using the Colgate Total Paste for the last several months... honestly I started using it because I had some good coupons once and stocked up on it, but once I started using it, I did not want to stop.  I was very anxious to try the Gel that I received.  I really liked the minty taste and how clean it made my entire mouth feel.  Though I couldn't feel it taking place, it was good knowing that the Colgate formula was fighting the germs in my mouth for several hours after I had brushed.
