Crest toothpaste comes in clean, practical packagi
This Crest paste left my mouth super fresh and I noticed whitening after a week. Foam is gentle and not too harsh. 9/10, I’d buy again. The tube is sturdy and easy to squeeze, no mess around the cap. Great value for the price — one tube lasts a long 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.

Pretty ok
This toothpaste is pretty ok. It tastes like chewing gum but leaves a fresh taste in the mouth after brushing your teeth. Seems efficient for a correct price.

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.

Great peppermint flavor and quick whitening effect
You will enjoy using crest fresh and white peppermint paste toothpaste because of it's intense peppermint flavor and the awesome whitening effectiveness for such a low price. The box that it comes in really pulls your attention!

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.

Bring back the REGULAR
I am so sick and freaking tired of things that aren’t broken being fixed! The plain regular has been around like what 50yrs?? The foundation for your entire company success and it’s long-standing legacy so of course you needed to change it! You just lost a loyal customer.

Crest Fresh & White delivers a refreshing peppermi
🦷 PRODUCT REVIEW: Crest Fresh & White Peppermint Toothpaste After using this toothpaste consistently for 7 days, I noticed a clear improvement in overall freshness and surface cleanliness. ✅ Key positives: + Strong peppermint flavor without being overpowering + Leaves a long-lasting clean feeling + Non-irritating and gentle on gums ⚠️ Things to consider: – Whitening effect is subtle rather than dramatic – Slightly foamy texture (may not suit everyone) 🧪 VERDICT: A reliable daily toothpaste with a refreshing taste and solid performance. Ideal for routine oral care if you’re not looking for aggressive whitening.

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?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 6 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.

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

Not whitening!
I refuse to use whitening toothpaste and this is not whitening but isn't weird or organic. It tastes good and works well. I have never had a cavity in my life!
