How is Total toothpaste different from others?
Many toothpaste formulas use stannous fluoride to fight bacteria, but not all of them are engineered equally.

It keeps the stannous fluoride active for high antibacterial efficacy to fight a root cause² and help stop many common oral health problems before they start.
