I like its taste, its scent, its freshness
I like its taste, its scent, its freshness, and the whitening effect it leaves on teeth. I use it primarily with children, since they like its taste as well.

Package/product is not tamper proof
I am confused. When I click to write the review the product is call Crest Pro Health Max Cavity Protection. The box and tube does not use the word Max. The other issue is the lack of tamper proof packaging for this particular toothpaste. The packaging in the store is a cardboard box with no glued tabs. The tubes of toothpaste do not have the foil seal like the samples the dentist office provides. The single tube box has glued tabs. Other flavors come shrink wrapped in plastic. Why is this three pack not tamper proof?

We know how important it is to have a sealed toothpaste, and want to help. If a toothpaste comes in a cardboard box, it typically will NOT have a foil seal. The cardboard is sealed at the end flap. We offer many versions of our toothpastes, including Max Cavity Protection, and a general Cavity Protection toothpaste. If you have more questions, please call us at (800) 492-7378.

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.

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?

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!
[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.

Reaction to the toothpaste
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?

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.

Fresh smell
Crest Cavity Protection Toothpaste is my go-to for keeping my teeth healthy and strong. It leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean every time I use it. I love that it helps prevent cavities and strengthens enamel - I can really feel the difference! The taste is great too, not too strong but very refreshing. I trust Crest to take care of my smile, and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for reliable cavity protection.

Cavity protection!
I like the regular paste of this. Perfect for my partial, doesn't color them. Great for keeping my teeth protected and keeps my mouth healthy. Not much flavor to it so no worries there. The tube is good till the last squeeze.

Can't beat the original
The classic. Doesn't burn and dry out my mouth, but does an amazing job removing plaque and preventing tartar. I love this for its cavity protecting properties. Not too much for my sensitive teeth.

New packaging ... same toothpaste?
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

1st choice toothpaste from RDH
This is one of the toothpastes that screams value. For less than 5 dollars, you are getting toothpaste with the most clinically approved effective fluoride (stannous fluoride) that truly shields your enamel from acidity and exposure throughout the day. RDH recommended and approved.
