Colgate gum invigorate detox

Plaque is a sticky bacterial film on teeth and along the gingival margin. Brushing disrupts it mechanically, while a soft brush and light pressure reduce the chance of abrasion; no toothbrush draws toxins from gum tissue or replaces professional removal of tartar below the gumline.

Choose a comfortable soft-bristled brush, angle it toward the gumline, and use small controlled movements on every tooth surface. Clean between teeth with floss or interdental brushes, replace a worn brush head, and have tartar or persistent inflammation assessed rather than relying on a marketing claim.

See a dentist if gums bleed regularly, remain swollen, recede, or produce pus or bad taste, or if teeth feel loose. Urgent care is needed for rapidly spreading swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing.

Ask whether your brushing pressure and brush-head size suit your gums and whether an electric brush would improve plaque control. Ask if you have gingivitis or periodontitis and whether scaling, pocket measurements, or other treatment is needed.
