Bad Breath
Bad breath or malodor, also known as halitosis, is breath containing an unpleasant odour. One culprit of bad breath is the millions of bacteria that live in the mouth. The mouth's warm, moist conditions make it an ideal environment for these bacteria to grow.
Colgate Total* helps kill bacteria that live in the mouth and cause bad breath.

Cavities
Cavities are tooth decay. Tooth decay is heavily influenced by eating habits, oral hygiene and the presence of fluoride in water and toothpaste.
Colgate Total* provides fluoride protection against cavity formation and tooth decay.

Weak Enamel
Enamel is the outer layer of the tooth that envelops and protects the main portion of the tooth. The build-up of plaque bacteria and aging may contribute to weakened tooth enamel. Further, many common foods and drinks are acidic and can wear away enamel.
Colgate Total* Enamel StrengthTM/MC is formulated to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce acid wear. It penetrates deep below the surface to reinforce and strengthen your enamel.
