What makes the Colgate® 360°® toothbrush unique? Colgate® 360°® has a unique tongue cleaner located on the back of the brush head that helps remove up to 96% more bad breath bacteria than brushing teeth alone with an ordinary manual toothbrush. It also has specially tapered bristles, a cleaning tip and dentist-like polishing cups that help remove more plaque and stains than the leading manual toothbrush. Back to Top
What are the features of the Colgate® 360°® toothbrush that give you a whole mouth clean? The tongue cleaner removes odor-causing bacteria. The Inter-dental bristles clean between teeth and along the gumline. The polishing cups help gently remove stains on teeth. The cleaning tip gets to hard-to-reach areas.

Why do I need to clean my tongue? It is estimated that about 85% of all bad breath cases originate within the mouth*, with the bacteria on the tongue being the major source of the odor. Brushing the tongue dislodges the odor causing bacteria from the tongue.

How does the tongue cleaner on the back of the brush head work? The surface of your tongue is like skin: the dead cells need to be sloughed off to allow the healthy new skin to come through. The raised cleansing texture of the tongue cleaner loosens odor causing residue on the tongue. The tongue cleaner can also help to cleanse the inner cheeks-another hiding place for odor causing bacteria. Back to Top
How do I clean the tongue cleaner? Simply rinse the back of the brush head thoroughly as you would rinse the toothpaste from the bristles of your toothbrush. Back to Top
How do the polishing cups work? The polishing cups help hold toothpaste against tooth surfaces longer to help maximize the paste's performance, helping to remove plaque and stains from tooth surfaces. Back to Top
Is the Colgate® 360°® safe for children to use? Is there a minimum age recommendation? The toothbrush is safe for children to use. However, it was not designed for children.
While we do not have a minimum age recommendation, one should select a toothbrush with a head and handle size appropriate for the intended child. As with any toothbrush, children should be supervised while brushing until at least six years of age.
