Test: Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste

Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste Test

Duration: 2 Weeks
Tester Concerns: Mild surface stains, plaque buildup, fresh breath
Goal: Whiter teeth + all-around oral health

First Impressions

  • Texture: Smooth, with micro-polishing agents (not gritty)
  • Flavor: Classic minty-fresh—not overpowering, with a clean aftertaste
  • Foam Level: Moderate foaming, easy to rinse off

What It Promises

Colgate Total Whitening claims to:
– Remove surface stains for a brighter smile
– Fight plaque, gingivitis, and tartar
– Freshen breath
– Protect enamel
– Offer 12-hour protection against bacteria

The 2-Week Experience

Week 1:

  • Teeth felt noticeably cleaner and smoother after each brush
  • Breath stayed fresh longer between brushes
  • No gum irritation (great for sensitive gums!)
  • Slight brightening, but not dramatic yet

Week 2:

  • Visible difference in surface stain removal, especially on front teeth
  • Gums looked healthier—less redness
  • No sensitivity triggered (even with cold drinks)
  • Teeth appeared a shade or two brighter under natural light

Pros

  • Actually helps maintain whiteness without harsh abrasives
  • Does more than just whiten—full-spectrum oral care
  • Affordable and easy to find
  • Great for daily use—non-sensitizing for most users

Cons

– Whitening is gradual, not a dramatic overnight effect
– Doesn’t remove deep-set stains (you’d need pro whitening for that)
– Mint flavor fades a little quicker than some premium brands

Verdict

Rating: 8.5/10
Colgate Total Whitening is a solid multitasker that cleans well, whitens gently, and helps keep your whole mouth healthy. It won’t give you celebrity-level whitening, but it will brighten your smile noticeably over time—with no irritation.
