Colgate Reviews

I used Colgate Optic White toothpaste. It didn’t dawn on me the first week after using when I got sore gums all over like a razor blade had made cuts all long gums especially in the front of my gums. I had a little soreness on the roof of my mouth but mostly on my gums. At first I didn’t think of the toothpaste but that was only change when it first started hurting. I have used many Colgate Total varieties and never had a problem and is the reason I didn’t think of the Optic White as a reason. I am swishing with warm salt warm to heal my gums right now.

We have used Colgate Total toothpaste for years. Yesterday my wife purchased a two pack. She did not see the microscopic wording that said "+ charcoal". When I took off the cap the paste was purple. When exposed to the air it turned to charcoal gray. What genius at Colgate thinks people want to brush their teeth with dark gray toothpaste? A google search said charcoal is a mild abrasive for whitening teeth, but too frequent usage or vigorous brushing could damage your enamel over time. So who wants to use gray toothpaste to whiten your teeth and maybe damage your enamel.? Sorry, we just put two tubes in the trash. No foul since the new tubes are recyclable, except, unless you stand on the almost used portion of the tube you will leave 5% of the paste in the tube. Who comes up with these ideas. Colgate Total is still our toothpaste, but stop trying to improve it.

Beware that the Colgate Cinnamint toothpaste which is red in color will STAIN your towels red. It ruined a few of mine. I stopped using the toothpaste. Please see the image below. The towel has been washed it the stain doesn't come out.

I have been using Colgate total since I can remember and my last 2 tubes of Colgate have been making my lips inflamed and swollen. I guess I am no longer able to use this toothpaste anymore. What a shame, I wonder if their formula changed!!

Tube of toothpaste was burst inside box. Have been trying to contact company. No response. At over $6 a box I feel they should have better customer service when there is a problem with their item. Tried the email feature got an error message that page was not available also tried chat feature, agent said they would send an email to me to send pictures of the damaged item. Have not received the email 2 days later.

I do not like Colgate toothpaste because it makes my mouth feel strange. It does not feel clean and it does not whiten my teeth. They have changed the tube. It is very thick with less toothpaste in it and very hard to get it to stay on my brush. I will be going back to Crest. I should have never changed.

I've used Colgate for the last 3 decades... And something has changed.. The white paste is now a watery mess and I can't brush my teeth without gagging uncontrollably until I can rinse it all completely from my mouth.

I don’t like Colgate Toothpaste because the toothpaste always falls off my toothbrush. That just feels very wasteful because I should be able to wet my toothbrush before brushing my teeth without my toothpaste falling off of it. The toothpaste also tastes weird over time probably because the toothpaste is less fresh but my other toothpaste from other brands doesn’t have that issue. That isn’t a huge problem but I just do not reach for Colgate partially for this reason. The whitening version of Colgate also does not whiten my teeth. Crest's whitening toothpaste does whiten my teeth. Because of these reasons I don’t think I will be buying or using Colgate anymore.

I was going to the dentist and flossed and cleaned my teeth really well. The next morning I cleaned my teeth again before I was to go to the dentist, I brushed my teeth again with Colgate Deep Clean Whitening and within moments felt tingling, within a few minutes my lips started to really swell. I had to quickly find Vaseline because I could feel like my lips were going to split. My lips were HUGE. I started to panic and rang my husband to come home and he advised to quickly take Benadryl. I looked like I had a triple dose of lip fillers. Don’t use this product. :(

This toothpaste makes my gums hurt like crazy. I bought it because it says sensitivity on it and it made my gums hurt all day and I woke up with my gums hurting. I went to the emergency room. When I woke up they told me to use sensodyne.
