Colgate Total Partners Mumbai Indians; Launches Oral Health Initiative
Chennai: Colgate Total has partnered with Mumbai Indians as their Dental Performance Partner ahead of the 2026 season, introducing a new oral health initiative aimed at improving player performance.
As part of the collaboration, Colgate has launched PLOT (Performance Linked Oral Test), a screening framework designed to assess and maintain players’ dental health. The initiative integrates oral care into the team’s overall performance and recovery strategy.
Dental screenings will be conducted by lead clinician Dr. Moez Khakiani using advanced intraoral scanning and WHO-based assessment methods to identify potential health concerns that may impact fitness.
The programme is based on research linking oral health to systemic wellness, with poor dental hygiene potentially affecting recovery and endurance through inflammation.
Colgate said the initiative highlights the importance of preventive care in sports, while Mumbai Indians emphasised that marginal health gains can significantly influence on-field performance.
The partnership reflects a growing focus on science-led approaches to athlete health and performance management.
