Q: What percentage fluoride is in this toothpaste?

submitted by Dental concern - 5 months ago
  • A: Nothing matters more to us than the well-being of the people who use our products. Our Safety Team assurues us that fluoride exposure from use of toothpaste as intended is safe for adults and children. When used as directed, normal routine levels of unintended ingestion of toothpaste and resulting exposure to fluoride does not represent a significant safety concern for adults or children. All US toothpastes have 1100 ppm of Fluoride, which is within the 1000-3000 ppm daily limit.

Q: Should the individual tubes have a foil seal under the cap?

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 - 2 years 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.

    Success so far using this brand

    I switched to Crest Cavity from Colgate. The first thing I noticed was pieces of tartar breaking off while I brushed. Plus, every other toothpaste brand including the tooth sensitive ones cause tooth pain in one of my more sensitive teeth that has root absorption. I don't know if there's a common ingredient in them that coukd cause this. So far, so good using this Crest Cavity. Fingers crossed.

    Good toothpaste with flouride.

    My former dentist, “old school” recommended using just a regular toothpaste with fluoride. Crest has always been my go-to.

    Please bring it back.

    I agree with other reviewers, please bring back the original. I have a horrible toothpaste allergy and this was the only toothpaste I could use. You've changed the formula and now my mouth cracks and bleeds when I use it. I've been desperately trying to find a replacement and have spent over $100 on other brands trying to find one. My mouth is in so much pain, now I dread brushing my teeth. Why do brands do this? There's a million different variations, is it that terrible to have a basic paste without all of the "extra artic blast mint plus pro" nonsense?

    Is this one still available?

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my crest, cavity protection, regular paste. I used my last tube, I have not been able to find it at the store, actually four different stores.. Have they discontinued this exact toothpaste? I do not like the gel or the green mint or the one with scope or a whitener. Please let me know where I can purchase this in Minneapolis Minnesota. Thank you for your time.

    I dont like plus (mouthwash); only option of basic toothpaste now.

    Had to buy this toothpaste because Crest ended the original toothpaste without plus. I do not like having mouthwash in my toothpaste! Mouthwash kills good bacteria. This toothpaste is mintier than the original and kind of burns a little (like mouthwash). This toothpaste gets the job done. Bring back the original toothpaste without plus.
    1 reply from Crest team - 2 months ago
    Crest Plus is the same great toothpaste that you knew and loved under the Crest Complete name. There were no formula changes to this particular paste when the name change occurred in January 2024. Our goal is to make it easier to find a toothpaste product that's just right for you, with the benefits you're seeking. However, because your safety and satisfaction are very important to us, we'd recommend discontinuing further use of this toothpaste if the burning sensation becomes uncomfortable. Feel free to call us at (800) 492-7378 for any additional assistance.

    What an underrated toothpaste. This is one of the best and most basic toothpaste ever but wow. The minty flavor is not too intense that it burns like some others. Freshness lasts for hours. Actually brightens my teeth too. Personally this toothpaste is much better than those expensive whitening toothpaste that actually weaken your tooth enamel. Buy this you won’t be disappointed.

    Can't believe I'm reviewing toothpaste

    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.
    1 reply from Crest team - 5 months ago
    Thank you for bringing this experience to our attention. Our products undergo rigorous quality checks to ensure each one reaches you in perfect condition. We're sorry to hear that was not the case, and that the tube end had split. Toothpaste may become thin and watery if exposed to heat for a long period of time; however, it's still safe and effective to use. So we can learn more about your experience and share it with our Quality Team, please call us at (800) 492-7378, 9 am-6 pm EST, Monday-Friday.

    Stop changing things already

    I too get extremely tired of the products I use changing. As one reviewer says, from emailing the company she found that crest cavity protection plus is the same as the crest cavity protection. But I had to come to this site to find out and this is not the first place I looked for the answer. Please just leave well enough alone and stop wasting our time.

    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?
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 5 months ago
    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.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Crest products in our house. I use the whitening toothpaste and strips and boy do they make a difference. This toothpaste is perfect for in between brushing with the whitening toothpaste.

    Best One, Not harsh

    This is the only toothpaste that doesn't burn my mouth. The other "upgraded" ones have chemicals that don't agree with me along with many other people.
