Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste - 4.5oz/3pk

We have been buying Tom's for many years and kept purchasing even when they reduced the tube size. But now we are considering switching brands. The new "great taste" is absolutely terrible. Tastes like cheap candy. Is it true it hss Stevia in it?

Teeth feel clean without buildup between brushes.

Been using this for years and I think it is better than fluoride toothpaste. My teeth are so white with this.

I just bought a three-pack, thinking I was buying the same Toothpaste I have used for thirty years and I can't believe the awful, artificial taste now that is in my mouth. I will not purchase this product again. I never buy stevia or anything that has this flavor for a reason, it does not taste good and again, I will not be brushing my teeth with this brand anymore. So today I "wake up, brush teeth, and make a change."

Terrible flavor change. Another US company changing a wining product! Why change the taste to a sweeter stevia based flavor!! Terrible. Tastes like all the saccharine flavored pastes like crest etc. you’ve ruined a good product to cater to the sugar addicted users. Why not just add high fructose corn syrup instead of hiding behind stevia. Looking for a new tooth paste now.

One of the packages was already opened when I received it. I exchanged it at the store. It shouldn't be shipped out when the package is ripped opened!

i liked tom's because it was minty without being disgustingly sweet like other toothpastes. the new formula ruined it

I being use this Tom's for long time really like it

The addition of new chemicals to achieve the "Great New Taste" is a mistake. Many who like your products are health conscious and limit or eliminate sugars and other carbs in the diet. For these people, everything does not have to taste like candy or have a intense flavor. A sweet taste is resented as a reminder of deadly past addictions. These carbohydrate-mimicking compounds cause negative metabolic responses even if limited to the mouth.

I love when companies sell out and the new parent company completely destroys the integrity of the original product. Colgate has absolutely ruined this toothpaste, and now after a decade of using this product, I need to find a new toothpaste. This new formula is absolutely disgusting and leaves your mouth tasting like artificial sweetners all day, it's nauseating. Despite their efforts at cutting costs to try to raise their profit, I hope they lose an enormous amount of money over this change.

Had been using this toothpaste for almost a decade - it reduced sensitivity as well as the prescription toothpaste I had been using. But I have 4 new tubes that I will donate instead. This new formula is gross - an aftertaste that reminds me of stevia and it makes my lips feel weird. I let it sit for 20 minutes and then brushed again with a different toothpaste to clear the taste. So disappointing - I have to go look for a new toothpaste now after previously being so happy with Tom's.

The original Tom’s of Maine toothpaste was great, but unfortunately, the formula has recently changed since the brand was acquired by Colgate-Palmolive. The new formula is advertised as having a “New Great Taste,” but I find it anything but great. The original had a pleasant peppermint flavor, while the new formula tastes overwhelmingly like artificial sweeteners. It’s unpleasant enough that I actually dread brushing my teeth with it. I loved the original formula, but I would no longer recommend this toothpaste. I wish they would bring the original formula back!

Whatever you did, is now giving me mouth sores. Guess you added poison. Switching and sad.

I have ordered 3 packs of this (total of 6 paste), assuming this wont be "NewGreat Taste". I bought one "New Great taste" and its terrible, the taste is very bad and cannot use that anymore. I ordered this (hoping this wont be "NewGreat taste" but leaving the review for the newer version here.

The new formula and taste of this toothpaste is disgusting. I have a rare genetic disease which prevents me from ingesting any form of sugar, natural or substitute. This added ingredient xylitol/stevia makes me sick to my stomach and I can't get the artificial sweet chemical taste out of my mouth. So dissatisfied and disappointing to be blindsided by this gross formula. Give us back the old version, nobody likes the added sugar and chemical taste. Where's the pepermint? I will be requesting a refund and looking for a new brand not affiliated with Colgate

Mason here of Iowa: I have been a devout consumer of Tom's fluoride-free peppermint toothpaste since I joined the workforce roughly 13 years ago. While purchasing a routine dual pack recently, I opened a new tube to begin using. My first thought upon brushing: this new tube must be rancid. I continued to use, thinking perhaps only the toothpaste near the opening was bad. However, I would then notice the NEW GREAT TASTE verbiage and compare against an older tube I still have in my travel pack. Then, I realized the change in ingredients. As a consumer, I don't know anything about ingredient sourcing, though I wonder if it would be convenient and ethical to bring back sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium bicarbonate to replace the newly added lauryl glocoside / disodium cocoyl glutamate / rebaudioside A / sodium hydroxide. In addition to the drop in taste quality, I notice the texture is off-putting. While I enjoyed the foamy body of the original, the new soupy product tends to fall out of my mouth immediately. It could be operator error, though I must trust my immaculate hygiene and home care history. I reckon I have roughly one month left of my old good supply, and then I will consider other fluoride-free toothpastes out there. You have my contact information with this review. Thank you for your product throughout my mid-twenties into my late thirties. - Mason of Iowa

The new formula is awful. It tastes artificial and chalky and no one in our family will use it now after being loyal customers for 25 years. So disappointing that we have to find a new toothpaste now. We just bought a two pack, can’t use it and are out the $ and out of luck.

Horrifying...taste like poison and bitter! Why did you change it, it was perfect! Too late to return.

We have used this toothpaste for years and always buy the three pack. I just opened up a new pack and brushed my teeth. I thought it had gone bad until I say the label said, “New great taste!” New? Yes. Great? Absolutely not. It tastes like spearmint instead of peppermint. There is also an unpleasant artificial sweetener flavor that lingers in your mouth after brushing. It looks like it’s time to find a new toothpaste brand.

I have used this toothpaste since the 90s. I recently purchased my usual 2 pack and brushed my teeth. Immediately noticed a difference and looked at the tube. New Flavor? Why are we messing with a formula that has worked for decades?? There were many loyal customers that enjoyed the non sweetened minty flavor. Now that is covered by sickly sweet Stevia. I could get that in a cheap toothpaste. Now I guess I'm going to have to find a new brand.
