Colgate Total 12 is an advanced, multi-benefit fluoride dentifrice engineered to deliver extended antibacterial protection for the whole mouth—including teeth, tongue, cheeks, and gums:
Dual-Zinc & Arginine Antibacterial Technology / Stannous Fluoride: Creates a proactive protective barrier across oral surfaces that continually reduces bacteria and inhibits plaque re-attachment for up to 12 hours after brushing.
Bioavailable Fluoride Complex: Replaces depleted minerals in tooth enamel to repair micro-cavities, increase acid resistance against dietary sugars, and seal exposed dentinal tubules to alleviate tooth sensitivity.
Cleaning & Stain-Removal Matrix: Removes sticky bacterial plaque biofilm and gently lifts surface discoloration without eroding tooth enamel.
Clinical Indications
Colgate Total 12 Toothpaste is indicated for comprehensive daily oral healthcare, including:
12-hour continuous antibacterial protection against plaque accumulation
Prevention and reduction of dental caries (tooth decay)
Prevention and management of early gum disease (gingivitis and bleeding gums)
Control of calculus (tartar) build-up along the gumline
Remineralization and protection against dietary acid enamel erosion
Management of dentin hypersensitivity
Continuous neutralization of volatile sulfur compounds causing bad breath (halitosis)
Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions
Administration: Apply a ribbon of toothpaste to a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush thoroughly for at least 2 minutes twice daily (morning and evening), gently covering all teeth, gums, and tongue.
Pediatric Use: For children under 6 years of age, use a pea-sized amount and supervise brushing to minimize swallowing.
Precautions: Do not swallow. Spit out and rinse thoroughly after brushing. Discontinue use and consult a dentist if irritation occurs.
