The 2in1 liquid gel that cleans and rinses

Trade news

Colgate is pleased to announce the launch of the 2in1 toothpaste and mouthwash range. Colgate 2in1 combines the cleaning power of toothpaste with the freshness of mouthwash.

Colgate claims the easy-to-use liquid gel formulation has a light foaming action that flows easily between the teeth, leaving the mouth clean with its high impact flavours delivering a fresh feeling.

The Colgate 2in1 toothpaste and mouthwash comes in three different flavours, Fresh Mint, Clean Mint and Whitening. It is available in 100ml stand up flip top bottles and is available through Colgate customer services.

Also from Colgate is the Total Professional Ultra Compact Toothbrush. Colgate claims it gives patients all the benefits of a scientifically designed manual toothbrush with a significantly smaller head (30% smaller than the Colgate Total Professional Compact toothbrush) for better access and plaque removal, even in hard to reach areas.
