Comments about Colgate Total 12 Hour Multi-Protection Toothpaste, Travel Size, Original, .75 oz:
This has helped to heal my gums. My gums were red, puffy, bleeding and painful. I tried prescription and over the counter products, but this toothpaste has worked the best. My gums are now pink and do not bleed when I brush.
