I really can't stand the taste and feeling of this toothpaste. It makes me feel like I am at the dentist, which I hate going to! I will never buy this toothpaste again.
My mouth always feels fresh and clean with this toothpaste. It might be too strong for small kids.
I got a sample tube of this recently, and have also purchased it once before. To me it's been really disappointing. I honestly can't stand the taste, texture, or how my mouth feels after using it!
The smell is minty but it has a gross chemical taste, and the texture is somewhat gritty. This I could deal with, but it also makes my mouth feel ridiculously dry after I've finished brushing and rinsing, and my teeth don't feel as clean as usual. Dryness isn't the best for your mouth and I can't stand feeling like my teeth aren't clean even though I just brushed! So, I won't be using this anymore and wouldn't recommend it, personally.
i was not impressed by this product at all. I received a sample of the toothpaste in one of the P&G;Brand Samplers, and since it had a pleasant taste, I purchased a full sized tube. My family and I all used it for about 2 weeks until we noticed a series of negative side effects. My tongue went permanently numb and I lost all ability to taste, my gums were bleeding, and my teeth suffered from brown discolored spots. This product caused my family and I so much discomfort that I felt it was necessary to contact P&G;about the issues. I received a quick response and was sent out a free product voucher for any crest product. I then received a mailing label to ship them the left over portion of the toothpaste for quality testing. I'm unsure if this is just a means to appease the customer, but it didn't leave me feeling as though they were going to actually look into the issue. The ingredients in this particular toothpaste seem drastically different than other comparable brands. I can only hope that in the future, more will be done to implement stronger policies regarding consumer products, especially those that we put in our mouths or on our skin. Consumer beware!
This toothpaste has everything you could ever ask for, and it's reasonably priced! It's nice to have a quality toothpaste that whitens AND treats sensitivity plus everything else that's important in a toothpaste.
I love it! it leaves ur whole mouth feeling clean and ur teeth white. i will find it very hard to go back to my old toothpaste and diffently think its wroth the little extra money.
Crest Pro-Health is a great toothpaste. It really does whiten and make teeth radiant. My sister got me hooked and I haven't looked back. It's a bit more expensive than regular toothpastes, but much less than premium brand whitening toothpastes.
NO NO NO! Please do not buy this! I had a horrible experience with this product for which I am still paying financial consequences!!! I used it from April to June and it wasn't until a couple of close friends made some comments about my teeth that I took a look in the mirror one fine Saturday morning and noticed ....BROWN SPOTS all along my top and bottom gumlines. This may sound stupid now, but I was horrified, and for the next two days I thought my insides were rotting away or something or it was some sign of a disease.
A little history about myself - I'm very into natural products and health foods. I don't smoke, do drugs, drink coffee and occasionally drink. When I went to the dentist, the nurse told me the brown spots (which the dentist's assistant had to spend 30 minutes removing because it was all over!!!) were similar to brown discoloration that a smoker of 20 years would experience. WHAT THE HELL? Anyway, the spokesperson from Crest was right about the discoloration being removed after one good cleaning. However, it was a completely unnecessary cleaning that cost me $190.00.
Since June I have been in contact with Health Canada, Crest and Proctor and Gamble about this issue. It is now September, and I only just received a call from Proctor and Gamble to say they will be reimbursing me with a cheque that should be arriving within 4-6 weeks (we will see about that...). Customer Service was horrible over the last couple of months because I kept calling and would never get a response back.
Anyway - The dentist agreed that the brown discoloration was due to Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash (Mint flavor). Crest's response is: "Brown discoloration on teeth is an indication that the product is working..." Apparently, if you have any tartar build-up at all the ingredient in the alcohol-free mouthwash will kill the tartar and it is a natural occurrence for it to turn brown. If you ask me, this is a bunch of b.s.. If you want your teeth to be clean, why would you by a product that lets you know its working by turning your teeth brown? Think, people, Think! Looks like anyone can get hired at Crest over in the U.S.
If you think I am the only one this happened to, google Crest Pro-Health wash- you should come across amazon.com reviews that discuss brown discoloration and loss of taste as the main two side effects from using this product. There is also an ongoing lawsuit by Bell and Brigham in the states against Crest over the pro-health line...and Crest had acknowledged this issue on their american website but I think it has been taken down now.
Just because of this one issue, I now use baking soda and tea tree oil for my toothpaste and tea tree oil and water as my mouthwash and try to avoid proctor and gamble products at all cost. Why? Proctor and gamble is quite aware of the side-effects caused by Crest Pro-Health products but refuses to put a warning label on the bottle or to take it off the shelves...didn't anyone take business ethics 101 at P&R;? tsk tsk. I just hope Health Canada does their job and puts that warning label on the bottle.
I have a habit of using this toothpaste for awhile and not being able to switch (I tend to switch products a lot). It makes my mouth feel clean and minty. The cinnamon kind (which I believe is being discontinued) is my favorite. It's mild in flavor, but nice and cinnamon-y. This is what got me hooked on their mouthwash, too.
