Colgate Total utilizes a professional-grade concentration of 0.454% Stannous Fluoride to provide a comprehensive shield for the oral cavity. This ingredient is antimicrobial and assists in sensitive skin maintenance by creating a protective barrier over dentin tubules. The whitening effect is achieved through mechanical action using Hydrated Silica to lift extrinsic surface stains.
The formula is stabilized with Zinc-phosphate to provide long-term resistance to bacterial regrowth. Users should be aware that the high-cleaning abrasive levels and SLS content make this a high-utility option, though it may be less suitable for those requiring ultra-low abrasion or sulfate-free alternatives.
