Q: Is this particular product white or a light green paste?
submitted by swchick69 - 2 months ago

Q: Should the individual tubes have a foil seal under the cap?
submitted by el90 - 4 months ago
A: If the toothpaste comes in a sealed box, it will not have a foil seal as the box is the seal. Do not use the toothpaste if the box is ever damaged or appears to have been opened.

Q: Effectiveness expiry date of flouride is 2 yrs. Crest seems to have a 3 yr. expiry date (toothpaste purchased in 5/24 has an expiry date of 2/27). Why does Crest state such a lengthy expiry date?
submitted by Major Gowen - 1 year ago
A: We have many safety, and quality tests to ensure our products are effective to be used until their expiration date when stored properly. We don't recommend using after their expiration date, as they haven't been tested for this.

EMcG - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
A tube of water. I thought maybe it needed mixing so I capped it, tried kneading the tube a bit — the end seam split and shot toothpaste-water all over the floor. Maybe it’s just a quality-control issue but it seems like an infuriating form of shrinkflation. Fellas, this is not going to be a “new normal” situation- if I have to get used to something new, I might as well switch to one of the all natural brands or go full hippie & brush my teeth w homemade baking soda -peroxide paste. I guess I should be thanking proctor & gamble, huh? These companies are not entitled to our money. We still have choices, even if they all seem pretty crappy. Jeezy creezy.
Cavity Paste-Good/Cavity Paste Plus-Disgusting

I used to use Pro-Health Whitening, tasted great, but according to some responses by Crest on this website they added an "Amino Acid Technology" to make the stannous fluoride or something more effective and the flavor is now disgusting. Because of this I switched to Crest Cavity Protection Regular Paste, same thing I grew up with and tasted great, now I can't find it in stores but there is a Crest Cavity Protection Paste Plus and now it tastes like crap. Was the amino acid that was added to the Pro-Health Whitening added to the Cavity Protection Paste?

We understand that the preferences of our consumers can vary, and we do our best to offer a wide variety of toothpastes in the hopes that you will find the perfect one for your oral care routine. We are disappointed to hear that you are not enjoying the flavor of our Crest Max Cavity Protection Paste, and we will share this feedback with our team. While some of our pastes have had the amino acid technology added to them to improve their performance, this paste does not contain that technology. We would love a chance to assist you with this further, and invite you to give our team a call at (800) 492-7378.
Works great!

I was using the basic Crest toothpaste which I can't find anymore. Bought Crest Plus cavity protection. It is not the same . It burns my mouth. Feels like it is too strong. Was the formula changed?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 4 months ago
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear this happened, and we hope you're feeling better, Julie. Safety is our top priority, and while all of our products are safe and effective, some users may not tolerate a particular formulation. It's helpful to know we haven't made any recent changes to the Crest Pro-Health Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste formula. If irritation persists, we recommend you discontinue using the toothpaste and consult with your dentist. Your dentist may recommend an alternate version, such as a sensitive toothpaste. So we can learn more about your experience and share this with our team, please give us a call at (800) 492-7378, 9 am-6 pm EST, Monday-Friday.

I emailed Crest about the new Crest Plus ... and this was the response. Thank you for contacting Crest. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused and I 'd be happy to assist. Our base Crest toothpaste is now part of the Crest Plus family of products. Crest Plus is the same great toothpaste that you know and love under the classic Crest name. Our goal is to make it easier for you to find a product that is right for you and the benefits that you are seeking. We did change the artwork and packaging; however, we did not change the formula for the Crest Cavity Protection, it is still the same toothpaste that you'd come to know with our base toothpaste. Thanks again for reaching us at Crest and please feel free to get in touch if you have further questions. Billy Crest Team

The only reason I'm giving this three stars is because of shrinkflation now they are selling the 8.2 oz toothpaste in a 5.7 oz package for the same price. I could tell right away when I opened the box that the tube was smaller. Go figure. I don't know when this nonsense is going to stop.

Runny and foamy, new formula is gross

lily - 1 year ago
Crest has changed their ingredients again. This toothpaste is runny and foamy, even without adding water. It no longer has a paste consistency. My teeth and mouth no longer feel clean. The same changes are found in the other formulations of Crest toothpaste as well. I know this because I have tried to find a replacement, with no luck. Such a disappointment from a brand I was loyal to for decades. Moving on to another brand.
1 reply from Crest team - 1 year ago
Lily, we're so sorry to hear your recent purchase of our Cavity Protection toothpaste seems runny, and would like to help. Please know, we have many quality checks in place to ensure only the best products reach you. We haven't made any recent changed to this toothpaste, so it seems odd that you've noticed a difference. So that we can help you further, please give us a call at (800) 492-7378.
