Colgate Max White with Polishing Star Toothbrush - Medium (Pack of 1)

Colgate Max White Toothbrush has a unique polishing star inside the brush and specially designed bristle pattern help to gently remove stains and reveal your teeth's natural whiteness.

With so many shapes, sizes and styles of toothbrushes on the market, deciding which kind to buy can be confusing.

Here's what you should look for:

Most UK dental professionals agree that a medium-bristled brush is best for removing plaque and debris from your teeth. Small-headed brushes are also preferable, since they are better at reaching all areas of the mouth, including hard-to-reach back teeth.
When it comes to the type of handle (such as non-slip grip or flexible neck), shape of the head (tapered or rectangular), and style of bristles (such as rippled, flat or trimmed to a dome shape), pick whatever is most comfortable for you.

The best toothbrush is one that fits your mouth and allows you to reach all teeth easily. If in doubt, check with your dentist or hygienist.

For many, a powered toothbrush is a good alternative. It can do a better job of cleaning teeth, particularly for those who have difficulty brushing or who have limited manual dexterity.

You should replace your toothbrush when the bristles begin to show wear, or every three months, whichever comes first.

For best results pair with Colgate Max White toothpaste products. Colgate has effective whitening toothpaste that reverses up to 15 years of discolouration*

*For continued use up to 4 weeks, stains caused by food and drink.

Can tooth enamel be restored?

Even though enamel is a strong substance, once enamel erodes or gets damaged, it cannot be regenerated—so it’s important to protect it. Knowing how to protect and preserve your tooth enamel from erosion and decay begins with a basic understanding of what enamel is, how it gets damaged, and the steps you can take on a daily basis to protect it.

What is Acid Erosion?

Acid erosion is common, yet, many people are unaware of the effect it can have on their teeth.

Acid erosion is an oral health concern that continues to grow in prevalence. Acid erosion (also known as erosive tooth wear, enamel erosion or tooth erosion) is the process that can lead to the irreversible loss of precious tooth enamel (the tooth’s hard surface layer).

Acid erosion is primarily caused by acids contained in many everyday acidic foods and drinks, including some healthy choices like fruit and juices. When acid comes into contact with teeth, the hard enamel surface can temporarily soften, leaving it more vulnerable to damage from contact with other surfaces such as other teeth and a toothbrush.

Brushing too hard can speed up wear caused by the acids contained in food and drink. This is particularly important in the minutes after eating or drinking acidic foodstuffs when enamel is most susceptible to damage. Other causes can be regular use of acidic medication or gastric reflux.

Protecting your teeth from acid erosion begins by understanding exactly what it is, what causes it, how it differs from cavities and what you can do to help prevent it.
