An essential weapon in the fight against bad breath is a really good toothbrush.

Given that the number 1 cause of bad breath is oral bacteria that we all have in our mouths, cleaning your teeth properly and thoroughly has never been so important.

But with so many different products now on the market, each promising the very best results, how do you know which one to choose?

A good place to start might be with the Colgate 360 toothbrush.

This is a relatively new product which claims to ‘revoluntionize oral care’. So how exactly does it intend to fulfil its claims?

Well, the Colgate 360 has some unique special features not typically found on other regular brands. These features, it says, allows it to give your mouth an all-over deep clean.  And this is especially important given that over 80% of all oral bacteria are not found on your teeth, but are instead lurking away in other hidden areas of your mouth such as on your tongue and in your cheeks.

The Colgate 360’s features include:

1. Multi Functional Bristles - a combination of extended outer bristles and closely-packed centre bristles are believed to be more effective in removing more of the plaque found between your teeth and along your gum line;

2. Polishing Cups – Colgate claim that these help to hold toothpaste against the surface of your teeth for longer than a regular toothbrush, in turn maximizing the effectiveness of the paste;

3. Tongue and Cheek Cleaner - the Colgate 360’s unique tongue and cheek cleaner gently cleans the inside of your cheeks, as well as helping to loosen odor-causing residues of your tongue;

4. Raised Cleaning Tip – the raised cleaning tip tackles those harder-to-reach places such as the back of your mouth and in between your teeth where oral bacteria like to hide.

The Colgate 360 toothbrush is now available in a range of 3 different manual models – the Colgate 360 Original, the Colgate 360 Sensitive and the Colgate 360 Deep Clean. There is also a battery-operated model available to purchase as well.
