Colgate Gum Invigorate Toothbrush [Colours May Vary]

Product Information

The 95 per cent-natural formula keeps teeth clean while helping the mouth achieve optimal bacterial balance, rather than relying on chemicals to blast baddies (and goodies) into oblivion.

The Deep Clean replacement toothbrush heads, which can only be used with the Colgate Link Aluminium handle and have advanced head technology with floss-tip bristles that reach 4X* deeper to gently clean between teeth and along the gumline for a healthy smile.It’s used here for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and a host of other ingredients cover various bases. That said, this is a wonderfully minty toothpaste which left our teeth – and mouth – feeling fabulously, thoroughly clean. 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. Our teeth not only looked cleaner, but felt cleaner too, and we suspect this is down to Oral-B’s four-pronged approach – the brand claims this toothpaste doesn’t just loosen, lift and lighten stains, but polishes and protects teeth, too. It’s proof that toothpastes free from nasties don’t mean inferior cleaning power – after prolonged use we noticed a definite reduction in tea-related stains, and we loved the sensation of freshness.

It’s one of the most stylish toothpastes out there, but probably not the best option if you’re expecting a deep clean.Sodium bicarbonate helps lift away light stains, while a combination of natural flavour oils – including wild mint and peppermint – provided a wonderful freshness free from the artificial tang found in many toothpastes. Luvbiotics claims to be the first brand to rely on dental probiotics in its formulations – an approach which (in theory) improves oral hygiene through balancing oral flora. Don’t rinse your mouth immediately after brushing, because this will rinse away the fluoride used in the toothpaste, and will limit its beneficial effects. As brushers with a history of gum sensitivity, we’re huge fans of Corsodyl mouthwash, and although, as with any toothpaste, many of the claims are hard to quantify, we’ve no doubt that this toothpaste does what Corsodyl promises.
