Colgate 360° Original Toothbrush Frequently Asked Questions

A: Colgate 360° has a unique cheek and tongue cleaner located on the back of the brush head that helps remove over 96% more bacteria than brushing teeth alone with an ordinary manual toothbrush. It also has specially tapered bristles, a cleaning tip and dentist-like polishing cups that help remove more plaque and stains than the ordinary manual toothbrush.

A: The cheek and tongue cleaner removes bacteria. The inter-dental bristles clean between teeth and along the gumline. The polishing cups help to gently remove stains on your teeth. The cleaning tip gets to hard-to-reach areas.

A: The surface of your tongue is like skin: the dead cells need to be sloughed off to allow the healthy new cells to come through. The raised texture of the cheek and tongue cleaner loosens odour-causing residue on the tongue and also helps to clean your inner cheeks—another hiding place for odour-causing bacteria.

A: Simply rinse the back of the brush head thoroughly as you would rinse the toothpaste from the bristles of your toothbrush.

A: The polishing cups help hold toothpaste against tooth surfaces longer to help maximize the paste's performance, helping to remove plaque and stains from tooth surfaces.

A: The toothbrush is safe for children to use. However, it was not designed for children. While we do not have a minimum age recommendation, one should select a toothbrush with a head and handle size appropriate for the intended child. As with any toothbrush, children should be supervised while brushing until at least six years of age. Colgate has a range of toothpaste and toothbrushes suitable for children of various ages
