    I’ve been using Crest for as long as I can remember, I’m 64 now. I know prices have gone up and the size of the tubes have gotten smaller. (I’m ok with that) My complaint is that for the past year or so I’ve noticed that there’s more air in the tube than toothpaste. I checked my wife’s tube last night and it had air in it also. (She uses the 3D Crest) I love your product but if this continues I’ll have to find a new product. Thanks

    I have been using Crest Tartar for years. I recently bought a new tube and notice on the box it stated Tartar Plus. I use it. It burns the mouth, gums and lips. Never had this problem either the original Tartar brand. I had awhile back tried the Pro Health and was not able to use it. So I can only assume that what they had in their Pro Health brand is now in the Tartar brand since I’m now having the same reaction.

      Crest user for over 60 years. I read a lot of reviews here about runny toothpaste and the feel of it. The air in the new tube. It's all true. Crest you better bring back the old formula and change the tube. I see you losing profit. Colgate is no better.

      Terrible customer support. They took 7+ days to post a payment, in an attempt to force us to use their preferred payment platform. Hard to get complete answers. We had to write multiple emails to get answers piece by piece. Frustrated!

      I have used Crest for years but I'm tired of only getting 2/3rds of a tube of toothpaste, about 1/3rd way through a tube of toothpaste there is a big air bubble and you have to push the tube about 1/3rd of the way to get toothpaste to come out, it's a rip off and I'm done, if you want to sell two thirds of a tube of toothpaste then that's fine but quit making it look like you're getting a full tube when you're not, CROOKS.

      Been using Crest for almost 60 years but when the pandemic hit, I noticed the decline in the product quality. The toothpaste tubes had gotten smaller and just recently the toothpaste has become more liquid and contained more air inside the tube. I go through the whole tube a lot quicker now even though I used much less than before. I also switch to the cheaper Crest because I can’t afford to shell out $4.89 for a higher-quality tube any longer. I’m so disappointed with these products that I’m going to switch to a different brand like Colgate instead. Their quality is much better now and I can get better return on my money. You lost me as a customer P&G. Greedy corporation.

      ALL PRUDUCTS ARE A RIP OFF: Been using for 40years and the final straw was after covid, P&G decided to change container (tube) in Crest toothpaste so it could lower the quantity per tube. After you squeeze the tube twice it collapses LEAVING YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS REALLY IN THE TUBE.

      So I started to use the Crest Pro Health Mouthwash and started to notice my gums inflamed, but thought I was using a too hard toothbrush so I changed the toothbrush and started using the Crest Gum Detoxify and Restore. I noticed bleeding gums, I’ve never had this issue before so I stopped using it and switched to Colgate and Listerine. Yes the one with Alcohol and noticed no bleeding gums or inflammation. So not even 10 mins ago I see I still have a small tube of Crest Gum Detoxify and decide to open and use maybe the bleeding gums before was from a hard toothbrush and I have a soft one now, my goodness my gums have never bled so bad and they looked red and inflamed. I am never ever using that stuff again or any Crest product for that matter.

      Our family has used Crest toothpaste for over 50 years, with complete satisfaction and good results until recently. I purchase a two or three month (average 12 tubes) supply for our family of four. The original product of baking soda and peroxide whitening was perfect for our needs until I purchased its replacement 2 months ago. Crest Plus is very watery, does not foam well and lacks micro scrubbing crystals. It’s a shame Proctor and Gamble has taken a good value product, raised the price and cheapened their product for profit! I’m done with Crest and looking for a USA made replacement. Colgate made in Mexico.

      I can no longer find the gritty paste Crest I've used my entire life (49 years). Baking Soda Peroxide Whitening Tartar Control Fresh Mint for a decade or two. It's all Crest Plus now, like the other dozen Crest formulas (including freebies from the dentist that I never open and donate) the disgusting runny stuff. Crest is now like every other manufacturer. Chinese maybe? No other toothpaste than gritty Crest left my mouth and teeth feeling clean and polished. In fact, the soupy "Crest Plus," like all the others such as Colgate, leaves my mouth and teeth feeling like I did NOT brush my teeth an hour or two later. I wrote a letter asking where I could find OG Crest paste, because Walmart etc only sold "Crest Plus." They had their robots respond with repeated "health surveys" - attempting to gain my personal health information so they could use it for free. I'll never purchase Crest again. I'll pay $10-12 for gritty toothpaste that does the job.

      I have been using Crest products for years. But 18 months ago I noticed that after all that time there wasn’t much of a change. So I stepped up trying the newest claims crest advertised. Results after brushing twice a day since then. 3 root canal’s needed-two cavities and my remaining teeth are just as dull as they were 18 months ago. Just my results. Maybe others were better.

      I purchased the crest detoxifying toothpaste after my dentist told me to purchase after getting my braces off. This toothpaste immediately made my whole mouth numb and the tops of my gums sore and burned. Not only was my mouth numb I started to feel numb on the left side of my body. My arm and leg also felt numb and continued to feel this way. Please take this stuff off the shelves.

      I have been using Crest pro health for a three to four days. It was a small tube the dentist gives you. I woke up this morning in pain on my top gum like under my nose. I looked and there are two canker sores. I'm worried to death that it is something bad. Then I came here and saw others have this same reaction. I will stop using it and hope it heals quickly...

      Crest Detoxify has my gums on absolute fire. I am on my way to the dentist tomorrow morning. I thought maybe I had some mild gingivitis and this made it so much worse over the last few weeks and I started to connect the dots. I think that this product was made to create these awful symptoms on purpose so that we spend more in the dental chair. I went back to using Tom’s and I feel better already just after one day but I have made an emergency appointment with my dentist. Despite flossing and using my rx mouthwash, my gums were swelling more and more, red and feeling worse than ever. I noticed my gums started to bleed after starting this toothpaste in my experience. In the trash Crest Detoxify goes. Don’t fall for the fancy packaging or tube, this made me feel like I had severe gingivitis.

      I’ve been to many different Physicians to get to the bottom of why I’m getting painful blisters on the roof of my mouth. I had an appointment scheduled with an Oral Surgeon to get his input. I had assumed that Crest Detoxify and Restore was treat the cause of the blisters, so I had quit using it to make the blisters as bad as they could be. My Oral Surgeon did a biopsy of some of the blisters with results pending. I haven’t used Crest Detoxify Restore in the past few days and the blisters seem to have disappeared. I have no plans to ever use Crest Detoxify again. As part of my investigation, I found one source that indicated that if you’re allergic to **, you have an increased chance of being allergic to Crest Detoxify. I’ve been trying to get multiple confirmations of this but have been unable.

      This brand of tooth paste is terrible. You run out of paste before finished brushing your teeth. The flavor only last the short time the paste does. Once done brushing there isn’t even enough to spit out. Please go back to old recipe.

      I started using Crest gum detoxify toothpaste. It caused mouth sores, swelling gums, pain in mouth, lost 2 crowns and my teeth seem to be loose. Do not recommend. There should be a lawsuit against this product. I couldn't even eat because of the pain and canker sores.

      I tried Crest Gum Detoxify (with gentle whitening), about four months ago. I would squeeze out a small amount, take some water, and use it as a swish and spit. It stopped my gums from ever bleeding, but very bad things were to come, and I never suspected this toothpaste until yesterday. I started having a burning mouth, prickly tongue and sore throat. I saw an ENT, Gastro guy, Allergist. I was sure that I had developed some sensitivity to the air around me. None of the MDs were of much help. They were baffled. I had started using this toothpaste as a gargle, in the past two weeks. Things got worse. My teeth became very hot/cold sensitive, and they NEVER were, before. The pain was excruciating.

      This product jumped into my head, last night. Now that I have done the research, I know it's the culprit! Do NOT use this toothpaste. Don't let anyone you love use it. If it's in your house, throw it out, now! As someone else has posted, there should be a Class Action Lawsuit filed. I wasted lots of time and money on this. Crest needs to compensate everyone in here for their time, pain and suffering. It has been terrible, for me. I want to thank everyone who posted their experiences, here. You have headed me in the right direction. I only hope we all experience a complete recovery.
