I am a big fan of Charcoal. Believe it or not, I am into everything Charcoal! Charcoal char keuy tiew; Charcoal facial wash etc. I remember at this period of time for around 2 to 3 months, I was bugging my husband for Charcoal ikan bakar and Charcoal claypot chicken rice like every single night. Seriously, everything cooked with charcoal are just so much more delicious! Typing this makes me hungry. Maybe I should go get my charcoal cooked-food craving fixed after this!
Okay so anyway, being a big fan of basically anything charcoal (I even use charcoal for odor control in my car), I was fascinated with Colgate’s brand new Total Charcoal toothpaste! I mean, seriously? Toothpaste with charcoal in it? How exciting! Haha. I was invited to attend the brand new Total Charcoal toothpaste Launch on the 5th March at Sunway Pyramid to check out this brand new Charcoal toothpaste!
Alright so even though I am a big fan of charcoal, but I haven’t really have tried any bit of charcoal in my mouth. So I know I know, the thought of it is a little intimidating at first. I mean, brushing your teeth with charcoal? Wow! But trust me on this okay! As I have tried and *ahem tested the product and it is not as scary or weird as the thought of it! If this helps, the toothpaste is NEITHER black in color NOR tastes like charcoal! *wink
Why charcoal? Do not be fooled by it being all black and sometimes, dirty; as it has been used by Ancient Egyptian doctors for medical purposes such as an aid for skin infections. It is highly recommended by the Greek physicians as well in terms of medical usage!
If you have suffered from any sore or gums bleeding like me, (It happens to me ALL THE TIME, especially when I am brushing my teeth!) you might have periodontal disease. My sister in law, who was a final year dentistry student, told me about this. Periodontal disease, in most cases, is due to the build-up of dental plaque in our mouths, which will infect tissues surrounding the tooth causing inflammation. It is typically caused by poor oral care and it can be prevented by cleaning our teeth deep and in between.
I know I know what you are thinking. You are probably asking why don’t I just visit the dentist like twice a year? Here’s why! I always believe in this – Prevention is better than cure! Don’t get me wrong, I still go to the dentist once every four months but one can never only rely on the professional in our teeth and gums right?! Hence, I have decided to be my own professional at home! The reason why I am truly amazed of Colgate Total Charcoal Deep Clean which features Ultra Micro Charcoal particles is that it reduces bacteria build-up by up to 90% for a superior deep clean! Don’t you all be fooled by your straight white teeth or zero bad breath, as this doesn’t guarantee a healthy mouth. Not scaring you but you might still get food stuck in between your teeth which will attract bacteria that cause dental plaque and eventually gum problems! Still not scaring you, but why not use a good quality of toothpaste and toothbrush in protecting your teeth and your gum?? Colgate Total Charcoal Deep Clean penetrates deep into hard-to-reach places for superior clean in between teeth and it offers up to 12 hours of anti-bacterial protection, and of course, against cavities, plaque and common oral health problems.
After the introduction and explanation of Colgate’s new innovation – the Colgate Total Charcoal toothpaste, I stumbled upon this big panda haha! The cute pandas (the ones Chenelle and I were holding) were free gifts that you can get when you purchase RM35 and above at the concourse.
We walked around the fair and spoke to the dental professionals on Colgate’s great innovation. It is like a mini dental visit where the professionals are on standby mode in demonstrating the product ingredients; usage as well as our common gum problems and ways to prevent them. Apart from that, I have my portrait drawn using charcoal! How cool is that?!
You know what they always say? Confidence is beauty! And a confident smile is beauty! 😀 So if you want a bright, clean and beautiful smile, hesitate no more! Try Colgate Total Charcoal Deep Clean today. Try it today for a healthier and cleaner mouth with great protection and prevention against oral care problems!
Excuse-moi for my selfie with the panda! Just couldn’t resist! Oh and notice the mirror behind me on the right picture? I was totally checking my teeth out when I was at the event before this dental professional came over to address my ‘concerns’! Thanks for the tips on my oral care!
We often forget how important our gums are to our overall oral health! We would often opt for just any toothbrush or toothpaste brands on the shelves without giving many thoughts. Without healthy and clean teeth, you may risk losing your teeth and missing out on good food if you are a food junkie like me! Do not even get me started on our local good food! Speaking of that, I just got a few more charcoal toothpastes for my family and I. Here’s to a healthier gum (and more food)!
