Why Choose Colgate

Over 150 Years of Trusted Formulation

Colgate introduced its first toothpaste in 1873 and has spent over a century refining the science of oral care. That heritage translates into formulas that are consistent, dependable, and backed by genuine dental research rather than passing trends.

Complete Daily Protection in One Tube

Colgate Triple Action Toothpaste is built around three core functions: cavity protection, whitening, and fresh breath, combined into a single daily formula. No need to choose between a whitening toothpaste and a cavity-protection one; Triple Action delivers both.

Toothbrushes Designed for Real Cleaning

Colgate toothbrushes use angled, multi-level bristles specifically engineered to reach between teeth and along the gumline, areas that a flat-trim brush head misses. The Classic Deep Clean and Double Action ranges both apply this design philosophy at accessible everyday price points.

A Brand for Every Household Member

From children's toothbrushes through to adult sensitive-care formulas, Colgate covers the full spectrum of oral care needs within one trusted name, a genuinely practical choice for households that want consistency without shopping across multiple brands.

Widely Available, Consistently Stocked

Colgate's global manufacturing scale means the products in this collection are reliably in stock and consistently formulated, with no unexpected recipe changes and no availability gaps. That dependability matters for a daily essential.

Dentist-Recommended Worldwide

Colgate's oral care products are used and recommended by dental professionals globally, a reputation earned through decades of clinical testing and genuine cavity-protection performance rather than marketing alone.

Explore The Colgate Range

  • Colgate Triple Action Toothpaste The core toothpaste in the Colgate collection at Local Supplies. Triple Action combines cavity protection, tartar control, and whitening in a single 100ml tube, a genuinely complete daily formula rather than a single-purpose paste. The fluoride content strengthens enamel against decay, while mild whitening agents lift surface stains gradually with regular use. A dependable, everyday Colgate Toothpaste suited to the whole family.
  • Colgate Classic Deep Clean Toothbrush A manual toothbrush built for thorough, everyday cleaning, angled bristles reach between teeth and along the gumline more effectively than a flat-head design. The Classic Deep Clean head is sized for adult use and suits anyone looking for a reliable, no-frills toothbrush that does the job properly twice a day.
  • Colgate Double Action Toothbrush A dual-bristle design combining longer outer bristles for reaching between teeth with shorter inner bristles for surface cleaning, two cleaning actions in a single brush head. The Double Action toothbrush is a strong mid-range option for anyone who wants more targeted cleaning than a standard flat brush without moving to an electric toothbrush.
  • Colgate Max White Range For those specifically focused on whitening, the Max White toothpaste range uses dual colour-correcting action and whitening crystals to lift surface stains more aggressively than a standard formula, a natural next step for anyone who has used Triple Action and wants a stronger whitening focus.
  • Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Formulated specifically for sensitive teeth, this range works to relieve sensitivity to hot, cold and sweet stimuli, often within days of regular use, an essential product line for anyone who experiences tooth sensitivity as part of their daily oral care routine.
  • Colgate Total A comprehensive formula addressing gum health, cavity protection, plaque control and breath freshness in one toothpaste, positioned as Colgate's most complete all-round daily formula for those who want maximum coverage from a single tube.
  • Colgate ZigZag Toothbrush A charcoal-infused bristle toothbrush with an angled zigzag bristle pattern designed to reach deep between teeth. A popular mid-range option that sits between the Classic and premium electric ranges, practical for households that want a slightly more advanced clean without the cost of an electric toothbrush.

How To Get The Most From Your Colgate Routine

  1. Brush twice daily, morning and before bed, for at least two minutes each session.
  2. Use a pea-sized amount of Colgate Triple Action Toothpaste on a damp toothbrush.
  3. Angle the brush at 45 degrees toward the gumline to let the bristles clean both the tooth surface and the gum edge.
  4. Use gentle, circular motions rather than aggressive back-and-forth scrubbing, which can wear enamel and irritate gums over time.
  5. Do not rinse immediately after brushing; leaving a thin layer of toothpaste on teeth allows the fluoride more contact time to strengthen enamel.
  6. Replace your Colgate toothbrush, Classic Deep Clean or Double Action, every three months, or sooner if the bristles start to fray.
