Crest Reviews

Went to dentist for regular cleaning, 2/14/2014,. They suggested I use Crest Pro Health to prevent the usual gum issues. I usually don't use the samples they give but I figured why not. I think I used it for about a month but noticed a funny after taste soon after but I figured it was a new brand for me so I would get use to it. What happen was I had dry mouth, a thick line on each cheek of my mouth, tingly cheeks and my mouth felt numb and a sore throat. I felt like my mouth was nasty and a cavity that was just fixed was starting to hurt. I backtracked everything I ate but never thought of it being toothpaste until I googled Crest. I am now using Tom's Maine toothpaste and baking soda but the weird feeling is still there but no dry mouth. How long will it take for CREST symptoms to go away? I used it for about a month.

CREST 3D WHITE LUXE WHITENING RINSE - I purchased this product on Friday and used it for the first time on Saturday night. I noticed it burned right away but didn't think much of it because Listerine always burned when I used it. The burning under my tongue was more intense. When I woke up Sunday morning, the right side of my face was swollen and I had big bubbles under my tongue. I thought that I had an abscess in my lower rear molar. I never had an abscessed tooth before, so I assumed that's what it was. After not sleeping all night because of the pain, I called the dentist first thing Monday morning and got an emergency appointment for 2:00 pm. The dentist found nothing wrong with the tooth, so he cleaned it out and put me on antibiotics. The right side of my face is still in so much pain and the bubbles under my tongue are bigger. I just Google my problem and found that crest is the reason for all this!!!!!

I have been using Crest 3D toothpaste for about a month. The last two weeks, I have noticed my gums burn, feels like things Are stuck between my gums but nothing is there. And just yesterday noticed dry mouth and dry lips and a sore throat. I'm throwing this junk out. Crest needs to step up and get this pro off the market or someone else needs to. So disappointed!!

About a month ago, I started using Crest 3D toothpaste. In a matter of minutes, I started having intense burning and irritation, I mean to the point of tears. I just assumed I was brushing too hard. Certainly didn't think it was from a Crest product. I've used Crest ever since I got teeth. Over the course of a few days, the irritation and pain was so bad I could no longer use a toothbrush, so I just used warm water and baking soda. After about a week of this, everything started to get back to normal. When I googled Crest and saw all these complaints, I couldn't believe this product is still on shelves. This problem goes back a long time and it's still available. Just shameful. There must be something consumers can do.

I've been using Crest Sensitive Enamel Protection toothpaste for years and tried the Pro-Health Clean Mint mouthwash. After a couple weeks, I had problems with pain in various areas of my teeth that gradually got worse. I went thru a 500 ML bottle, then stopped using any kind of mouth wash. After a couple weeks, the pain in my teeth went away. The pain I went thru is the same pain I experienced when I used Crest's whitener toothpaste, just occasionally. I would use it maybe once a day for 3-4 days, and started feeling the same pain in my teeth. So I stopped using that also. It was almost like the whitener and mouthwash were removing the enamel shield the toothpaste was putting on.

Crest 3D White Luxe toothpaste/mouthwash - Thank goodness for seeing the other reviews. I have been suffering from ulcers on my tongue, redness, soreness, extreme dry mouth, swelling inside my lips, numbness of lips... All acids, salt, spicy foods are painful. Can't get through the night without getting up a few times and swishing some coconut oil in my mouth. Has been going on for over 2 weeks and is getting progressively worse. I thought something was very wrong with me but after realizing the increased pain after brushing my teeth, decided to Google and see if the toothpaste itself could be the culprit. I just started using it a month ago... And sure enough, picture after picture of the same thing from people. I can't believe this stuff could still be on the market. PLEASE GET THIS STUFF RECALLED!.

After using 1 tube and 2/3 of another tube of Crest 3D White Luxe toothpaste, I am experiencing a dry, burning throat and frothy spit. The froth is forming on the back of my tongue and throat, and the spit tastes acidic. Also, the skin is peeling in big sections from my gums and cheeks inside of my mouth. My gums by two teeth have also receded since using this product. I finally realized that the Crest 3D White Luxe was the culprit. I stopped using this toothpaste a week ago, but I still have the symptoms, and it is very disrupting because of the continuous burning. I am concerned as to how long the effects will continue.

Well my significant other kicked me to the curb one night (that jackass), and I was all used to using the old Tom's toothpaste--you know the kind that DOESN'T DESTROY YOUR MOUTH AFTER A SINGLE USE. Well anyways, immediately after using it my mouth felt like it was on fire. I gripped the edge of the sink for I felt searing pain throughout my mouth. Of course, I'm used to the old saying "if it burns that means it's working," and I attributed it to either my tired state or something else. In all my life, toothpaste never hurt me so why would it now? After the the pain dulled down a bit (if that's even possible), I looked in the mirror only to notice my geographic-looking tongue as well as it being covered in a yellow substance.

I have used Crest products forever and am generally very, very happy with the results. My complaint is with the above mentioned product. Every time I use this toothpaste, I end up with sloughing epithelial cells for the rest of the day. I would like to know why. Please respond to my concern. Thank you in advance.

I've used Crest toothpaste for what seems like forever. I had been using the regular Crest Tartar Control paste for years, but decided to Switch to Sensodyne because of some sensitivity. My twin daughters had been using the Pro Health Plaque Control, but one of them switched to the Sensodyne with me for the same reason. When I ran out of Sensodyne, I decided to try the Gum Protection formula because we had a free sample. After the first use I also noticed the skin sloughing off with a burning feeling in my mouth. I then tried the Plaque Control and there wasn't any sloughing off with this one, so I continued to use it. I've been using it for over a month now, brushing my tongue every day as well as my teeth.

I thought I was getting gingivitis so I bought Crest Pro Health mouthwash that said it would reverse gingivitis (in the white bottle). I also bought Crest Sensitive toothpaste. After about two days, I lost my sense of taste. I stopped using the mouthwash but continued the toothpaste... It is about a week later and I still have no sense of taste. I was waiting for it to come back after stopping the mouthwash but after reading these, I guess the toothpaste can be affecting it too. Like the above person, I also feel like something is stuck in my tooth... Keep flossing but nothing is there??? How can these products still be sold? I hope that after I stop using the products my taste comes back?? If not I will be contacting a lawyer. There is no warning on the bottle about this!

Tried this toothpaste and it burned the inside of my mouth badly. Now I have to be careful not to eat anything spicy which I love :( and I'm having to use the grandkids toothpaste.

After two weeks of sore, red, gums and bleeding, I decided to look up the toothpaste online to see if others were having similar issues. I was shocked to see so many people reporting the same thing. I was always told that my teeth were small due to my gums so I decided to give Crest Pro Health a try. When I noticed the issues I mentioned above, I attributed it to the product above actually working. Well, now it is the second week of the issue and I'm concerned. I contacted my dentist and she said that this should not be happening at all and advised me to stop using the toothpaste and go back to what I using prior to this. I'm going to switch toothpastes tonight to see if that helps. I'll report back my findings in a few days.

Was suggested by my dentist to get the Crest 3D mouthwash after putting in a crown. Said this would help whiten my teeth to match the crown... I don't use toothpaste much because it's too harsh on my teeth so I would pour a little Crest mouthwash on my toothbrush and brush my teeth then rinse with the Crest mouthwash. Bought this product on 11/14/13, and after two weeks and two bottles later, it was on a Saturday night... my top and bottom lips started to tingle and burn. For two days this went on (was not making the connection to the mouthwash). Then my gums and tongue were really sore, got a blister on my lower lip, that is still not healed, lips extremely chapped. After 5 days and my symptoms getting worse, not going away, I went to the doctor thinking this might be a primary case of oral herpes! Never had Herpes before but googled and same type of symptoms!

I had used Crest ProHealth Mouthwash for only 2 days because I wanted a non alcohol mouthwash. I was lucky to wake up on Monday 1-20-14 at all. My throat and tongue were so swollen I was gagging. I took a benadryl and went to the ER and was treated for severe allergic reaction. I have been on prednisone and benadryl ever since and was give a Epipen. I have seen my Allergist and tomorrow I go see my Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor as the swelling is better but not gone. I have lump in my throat and am still swelling under my chin. I have a small amount of swelling on my tongue as well.

Crest Pro-Health Oral Rinse - After 1 rinse, I felt discomfort in my cheek. By the 2nd rinse, my parotid gland swell up. I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with a swollen parotid gland. There was no infection present. I attempted to eat lunch and it consequently was swollen to the size of a lemon! I rinsed at the same time of day both days, had no other medications or food allergies present. I believe it is a direct result of the rinse. I found MANY other exact same cases as mine contributed to this rinse. I called Crest and they were absolutely no help and basically laughed me off. I cannot understand why this product remains on the market.

I understand this forum is about Crest toothpaste but I recently have had the same problems and symptoms with Crest Pro-Health Complete Clean Mint Fluoride Mouthwash. I bought this as a double-pack, it was Buy One Get One Free, on Wednesday, 1/8/2014. The next day, my tongue was sore. The 2nd day of use, my jawline was so sore that I thought I had something stuck in my gums. My tongue was even sorer by the 2nd day of use. I still had no idea what was causing this so I continued to use the mouthwash. Long-story short, Saturday night I decided to Google this product and see if there were complaints because I realized that I was not having any problems until I started using this product.

My partner and I bought this toothpaste, and within days I noticed that my gums were feeling really sensitive and I thought I had gotten a bad cavity. It was bad enough that I was getting headaches, and I mentioned to my partner that I was going to make an appointment to see a dentist. It was only then he mentioned that his teeth and gums were really painful too, and we realized it was the toothpaste. We bought another brand of toothpaste, and within 2-3 days, all tooth and gum pain resolved completely for both of us - and we threw the tube of Crest Pro Health in the garbage. Don't waste your money on it!!

I have been using Crest Pro Health products since I had orthodontics. I don't have the greatest mouth but I don't even have gingivitis and have over 20+ cavities. I have an electric toothbrush and have used over 2 tubes of Crest 3D White and have seen 3 dentists in less than six months since each time they find more cavities than the last one. I brush my teeth, I shouldn't have this many problems. I get sore gums then it goes away. Just recently, I got a gum infection so bad I wanted to rip that tooth out and I've have 2 perfectly fine teeth have enamel just randomly fall out. For someone who takes care of their teeth I shouldn't have 4Gs of dental debt and a root canal! It didn't occur to me until after my dentist visit that my toothpaste is the number one culprit.

This toothpaste made all my teeth hurt and my jaw as well. I was not sure it was the toothpaste but when I changed toothpaste from Crest to a different brand, the pain went away. This toothpaste should be recalled! I will NEVER use Crest again. I think they are putting an ingredient in that causes tooth problems.

My teeth have been hurting since I used Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and 3D Crest White Luxe whitening rinse. First I thought it was the rinse. So, I brushed my teeth again with Crest Pro-Health and my teeth hurt even more. This toothpaste needs to be recalled!!! I am trashing both the toothpaste and the mouthwash. This makes me give up all of Crest items! Unbelievable that they would continue to sell it.

PRODUCTS USED: Crest Whitening toothpaste with baking soda and peroxide; Crest Pro Health mouth rinse (Have tried both the fluoride & non-fluoride versions).

I started using Crest Pro-Health about a month ago and within a 2-week period I noticed that under my tongue and on the right side of my lower gums were moderately sore and a bit dry feeling. I was thinking that it might have been an allergy to something I ate, even though I've never had an allergy before that I'm aware of, but it progressively got worse to the point that the underside of my tongue felt raw and my entire bottom gums on the inside. It began spreading to my lower lip and this all took place within 72 hours of initially feeling discomfort. I went to my dentist who looked at it, asked if I was using a new toothpaste and put me on a 5-day steroid "Prednisone" which knocked it out quickly.

I was using Crest 3d whitening toothpaste about a month... While on vacation I noticed tongue swelling & tingling. I thought I had some sensitivity to shellfish... but not the case. I developed sores on the tip of my tongue, lips & cheeks. My tongue tip seems to be burning constantly. Besides being annoying it is rather painful. My husband told me I only started complaint since I started using the paste. After reading reviews...it probably is the paste which I have discontinued. I will repost to give the outcome.

Last February, my husband and I went to a new dentist and she recommended we try Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouthwash. She gave a sample of the toothpaste and my husband and I went out and bought a large tube and a large two pack of mouthwash in bulk at Sam's Club. After the first use of the products, we noticed that our mouths were peeling from the insides and had a horrible taste when we would eat anything. It was absolutely horrible, but we never really thought about it being the Crest products and maybe something spicy we had eaten. We continued to use these products and a couple of months later, the corners of my mouth started to crack really bad. It didn't matter what I used on them, I couldn't get them to stop cracking. Again, I never put two and two together and kept using the Pro Health products.

After using Crest Pro Health toothpaste, the tip of my tongue is numb and inflamed, my lips are swollen and the inside of my mouth is peeling. I still have these symptoms a month after I quit using the toothpaste.

I am a Crest toothpaste lover; however, just used Crest Pro Health clinical, possibly should be called chemical.. Ha ha. But really it's so bad, after one use, slight difference, after second use. My pain in my mouth is unbearable. I walk around all day drooling, or holding my mouth, nothing helps. It's a burning sensation so bad, where there are blisters. I can't really eat or drink much either and am worried about my health on this part. I have tons of medical issues I have recently beaten, back injury, stomach ulcers, ovarian cysts, now this.

For the past eleven months, I have had a severe facial rash, blisters on my cheeks, neck and chest along with a swollen face. I have been to my Doctor, he has put me on Prednisone 4 times. No answers. Went to an allergist and was tested for everything possible. No allergies found. Ended up in the emergency room on August 17th in anaphylactic shock, unable to breathe, minutes away from being intubated. Treated for unknown severe allergic reaction and back on steroids. Went to a dermatologist and even had a biopsy. Thousands and thousands of dollars spent without an answer.

After using the toothpaste for about 6-8 weeks, I realized my tongue felt like it had been burned and the inside of my mouth was sensitive to touch. My teeth resting against my lips was uncomfortable and would leave a impression similar to the feeling I had when I was wearing braces. It felt like the top layer of the skin on my lips had been removed and were extremely dry. It hurt to talk for long periods of time. My eating habits had not changed so I knew it had to be the toothpaste. I will NEVER buy Crest toothpaste again.

My dentist recommended Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouthwash. I started using the toothpaste right away, and first discovered a strong burning sensation in my mouth while using it. I ignored it, thinking my mouth was not yet used to it. Sometime later, I noticed my mouth started to feel swollen and my lips were puffy. I first thought it might be from the peanuts I had eaten earlier, and maybe I was developing an allergy? Nope. I do not have a peanut allergy. I continued to use the toothpaste and still experienced the strong burning sensation... now accompanied by cracks on the sides of my mouth.

I have been using the Crest Pro Health for a while (a long while) I would get canker sores ocassionally. I thought it was due to stress. Then several months ago, I started losing my sense of taste. I thought it was because I needed magnesium. So I started taking magnesium supplements. My taste sensations came back some but not completely. Then a couple of months ago, I got more canker sores on my tongue and they would not go away no matter what I did. So out of desperation, I started using my grandson's anti-cavity toothpaste. Guess what? My tongue isn't sore for the first time in two months!! NO MORE CREST 3D PRO HEALTH!!

I began using this product because the doctor gave us samples. Shortly thereafter, I began having severe problems with sores on and under my tongue. I had swollen bumps on the sides and back of my tongue. I went to 5 doctors including an ENT and had expensive tests trying to figure it out. It was so painful I could barely talk. It Interfered with my work. I talk for a living with clients. Finally my hygienist recommended I stop this toothpaste. Within days, the sores disappeared and I have had no recurrences. Obviously it is the toothpaste since that is the only change I made. It took 6-8 months and thousands of dollars. I want my money back for the doctor bills!

When I first used this toothpaste, I was so impressed that I ran out and bought 8 tubes of it when it went on sale. Over time, I noticed that the lining inside my mouth and cheeks were shriveling up and sloughing off in sheets. I thought I had cancer or something. I would rack my brains trying to figure out what could bring this on. Then my tongue would feel numb if I brushed for a long time. Now that's a frightening sensation, to feel as though your tongue is somehow going to shrivel up and fall out. I would rinse for 5 minutes, frantically, holding the water in my mouth for a minute to stop the shriveling up sensation on my tongue. I finally said to myself, "it's not me, it's got to be the toothpaste." I'm so glad I found this site/forum. At least I know I'm not going nuts. I still have 3 tubes left. I hope the damage isn't permanent or can cause cancer down the line. Do I have any recourse?

I was using Crest 3D White and Pro-Health toothpastes. First my mouth became strangely dry. Then I started getting sores inside my mouth. Finally my lips started swelling, like an allergy. It took me awhile to connect this to the toothpaste since I've never had a reaction to toothpaste before, but I finally did. I switched to plain baking soda for brushing and experienced immediate improvement. My mouth feels so much better! Something is very wrong with either or both of these toothpastes.

I started using this toothpaste about a month ago, and food started to taste bad, but I didn't make the connection. After about a week, I developed chapped and swollen lips, which continue. Not from any of the usual causes of such - not dehydrated, not dry air, etc. I'm quitting today, thanks for the clue!

About 5-7 days after starting the use of this toothpaste, I noticed my gums getting red and sensitive. I did not attribute it to the use of the Crest 3D White so continued to use the toothpaste. The redness and sensitivity worsened. Stopped using the Crest 3D White and went back to simple 'toothpaste'. The redness and sensitivity have begun to subside. Must be something in the formula that is too strong for me. Noticed other entries where people have experienced the same problem or worse. Bye bye Crest 3D WHITE...

My daughter was the first one to try the toothpaste whilst visiting a friend. She has complained that the skin in her mouth has peeled and parts of her gums flake off.

I am an 18-year-old girl. I started using the 3D Crest Whitening toothpaste and have been using it for about a year now and tonight, I noticed that one of my bottom front tooth is rotting. This has never happened before until this toothpaste. I have always had healthy teeth.

I was experiencing daily peeling of the inside of my mouth and sometimes my lips. I found online the cause was most likely the toothpaste (Crest Pro Health) that I had been using for about a month. The peeling started maybe two weeks ago. I have not used it for two days and my mouth has not peeled yet. I also saw on this site people experienced pain and I recall feeling pain and wondering if I had a cavity. We have bought a Costco size pack of this. :( Wondering if this is the reason my kids have had so many canker sores? Why would a company keep a product on the market that has so many complaints (over 400 so far).

Both my wife and I use Crest Pro-Health toothpaste, and both are having the same symptoms. Flaking off of the skin inside out mouths, loss of taste, swollen gums, lips and platelet. After switching to another brand, the symptoms went away. Something is wrong here.

I picked up a tube of Crest Pro-Health healthy fresh cool peppermint. I noticed that after about 10-15 minutes, I had a funny/strange feeling on my gums... I ran my finger around my gum area and pulled out a "stringy white film"... It DID not occur to me until I was about 3/4 finished with the tube that it could be the toothpaste itself causing this reaction... so I switched back and forth between Crest Pro Health and Aquafresh and sure enough, the reaction only occurred with the Crest... I also use the Pro Health rinse with no problems... I have seen some reviews here that has stated this is normal, but I have my doubts about that...

About 5 weeks ago I started using the new Crest 3d Luxe toothpaste. Within a few days of using it, I started losing my voice... not realizing that it was the toothpaste, I kept using it. In 2 weeks, I had no voice at all and started developing a raw severely sore throat and noticed my tongue was turning white with these angry red spots on it. Went to my pharmacist and he advised me to gargle with salt water, and use throat lozenges. A week later, my lips had started developing blisters on the inside as well as all around my tongue. Another week goes by and I’m on vacation and I couldn’t eat because the food made my mouth feel worse and burned my throat going down.

I've been using Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste for about 3 months. While I like how it keeps my teeth whiter, in spite of drinking 1 iced tea a day, I've noticed over time my taste buds have lost a lot of sensitivity. Since I'm a chef, this side effect isn't ideal. I might have to discontinue using it. I need to taste food...

This is quite similar and after this week, I am switching to Tom's of Maine non-flouride toothpaste. It is not just Crest but the majority of flouride toothpastes that will cause you severe pain. Not for everyone obviously but in the absence of any other problems, logic would suggest that your toothpaste is the "root" cause and not to sound like a crazy person as I'm sure you all might think I am for saying this but how much money do you think the dental industry makes on creating problems and then simply fixing them even if that means drilling and selling more product? The ADA (American Dental Association) no longer approves the use of flouride as a means of taking care one's teeth and reasonably so. Evidence shows that flouride has zero to negative benefits and speaking from personal experience my gums are ravaged. They bleed to hardy to get fillings done and the more I brush the worst they get. This is, in my strange opinion, why dentists recommend it or other toothpastes like it. P.S. My last visit cost me upwards of 700 dollars. Do not use, do not consume, respect ditch the garbage. Tom's of Maine costs five bucks but it's worth it...

It burned like crazy. Afterwards my gums were like raw meat and still are. I didn't think the gel was the cause and when I used it again, I have so much pain. I first thought that it was coming from my ear, but when I brushed my teeth again it caused the pain to get worse. I even went to the doctor thinking it might be sinus or ear infection. My mouth is hurting so bad my gums are sore to touch. So hot and cold sensitive that I can't hardly drink or eat anything. I just want to know what to do to make this pain go away.

To everyone discussing skin peeling, folks, this is the best toothpaste one could use. As we use exfoliation for our face & skin to remove dead skin cells, this toothpaste & rinse is exfoliating the dead skin cells in your mouth, as well as disinfecting and killing germs. Notice how your breath stays fresh for 24 hrs even after eating & drinking. Allow the paste and rinse to keep exfoliating for a few days, (as an alpha-hydroxy on your skin) - the toothpaste is doing its job - and well. As skin initially peels with an alpha-hydroxy, your mouth is initially peeling with the Crest ingredients. My breath has never been fresher and mouth healthier.

I have been using Crest pro health whitening gel for at least 2 weeks now. I am someone who brushes at least 2x a day and flosses at least 1x per day. I thought one day the pain I was having meant that I needed a root canal or my lupus was acting up in a new way! It hurts severely on the top left and left bottom gums, and teeth. Not one specific tooth, just the whole left side. It comes and goes. I was telling my sister about it today and she asked me about the toothpaste I use. (She just went through this last few weeks herself!) I remembered I just bought this pro health! Looks like back to the Crest anti cavity as is made in America! I just cannot believe toothpaste could be the cause of such severe pain!

After using the toothpaste with tartar control plus whitening, I noticed a funny taste and film on my tongue. Food didn't taste good, and my tongue burned and felt tingly, almost as if the back of it were swollen. This continued for several days. The toothpaste was the only thing new I have introduced in that time. I have discontinued using it in the past 3 days, but my tongue is not getting any better. It feels like there are sore on the sides and like I have burns from hot food all over my mouth. I just want it to go away. I can't even eat and enjoy food. Wondering what I can take to alleviate this annoying and uncomfortable taste and feeling.

I work at a place where we get products from dental manufacturers and 9 months ago, I started using this toothpaste and mouth wash. Huge mistake! It first started with the side of my tongue and now has moved to whole tongue gums and lips and it burns and tingles. So uncomfortable to where it's been hard for me to work and all I want to do is go to sleep and not feel this pain which it has been hard to sleep. I've been to the dentist, hospital and Dr. complaining. They ran test and even had a spinal tap, and told me it was severe anxiety. Finally after talking to someone at my job who started having similar symptoms, she told me to throw the stuff away! She also said her dentist was the one that told her about it. Why are they selling this stuff? I just stopped using it 2 days ago and I'm still in pain. I also can't taste. I hope this feeling goes away.

So, you'll never guess what. I was at a friend's house, spending the night and right before we went to bed we brushed our teeth with the 3D White product... The next day my mouth is a little sore... Here I am 6 days later...can't even open my mouth. It's lined and covered in ulcers. Sometimes the ulcer in the back of my mouth will ooze and bleed ;) Sometimes the pain is so unbearable, I would sit there crying for hours. So, CREST YOU SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT QUITTING. You guys suck. Sorry, but I used it ONCE and I got this?? So much for that.

I have used this for a week now. I have a few cavities and I am working to go to the dentist. This tooth paste made my mouth like everyone is talking about. Swollen lips, skin slogging off all over the inside of my mouth, and it hurts like crazy with little sore.

I started using Crest Pro-Health Clinical rinse last week, due to its claims to help with fighting gingivitis. The first time I used it, my mouth burned a bit, but I thought that was because it was working (although the fact that it's opaque white when spit out was suspicious). Later I noticed a stringy white film near my gums which began bleeding a lot, and my teeth hurt along the gum line. Then my tongue became numb and I couldn't really taste anything; a molar that I was already having problems with started feeling loose.

I used Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash for the first time on Wednesday. Continued use on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, I couldn't taste my food. On Friday at lunch, I started feeling a small painful/tingly sensation on my tongue, and had to place food carefully on my tongue. I didn't make the connection and continued to use the mouthwash on Friday night. By Saturday morning, my tongue felt like it had been burnt, but I could still speak and eat properly, just had to avoid placing food on that area of my tongue. By Saturday night, I could barely put anything in my mouth without severe pain. My tongue (mostly on the tip and around the sides) had several raised little red bumps that hurt. It felt like hundreds of canker sores all over! I also had a dry mouth feeling and metallic taste. My tongue also had a white coating all over. However, Saturday night I could still talk with slight pain.

Crest 3D Whitening Toothpaste - I've been using this product for a few weeks, and I was really impressed with the whitening at first. However, I've noticed the skin in my mouth literally peeling off in layers and stings after using the product. I never really thought to link this problem to the new toothpaste, but all of a sudden it hit me and decided to go online to see if others were having the same issue (and to make sure I wasn't crazy). I am extremely disappointed and horrified to find that this product is being distributed when it is giving blatant chemical burns to the inside of people's mouths. I haven't experienced any of the other negative symptoms that some others are mentioning in their reviews, but I sympathize with those who are experiencing them and frankly it doesn't surprise me that these symptoms are occurring with this product.

Usually I have no real preference for toothpaste. Then I picked up Crest Pro-Health. I used it once and notice the warming sensation. I thought it was just the formula working. Then I felt my upper lip swelling. Every so often, I have random allergic reactions to stuff like a little dust, and the swelling went down, so I paid it no mind.

I recently switched to Crest Pro Health. Ever since I've switched I've had nothing but problems. First, I noticed my teeth had gotten very sensitive to hot and cold foods. If I eat a burger then drink my soda it would instantly begin to hurt really bad. Secondly, I noticed my mouth has white film that would turn into long strings. I hate that I switched to this product.

I have had gum and tooth sensitivity for the past 8 months and just traced it back to Crest Pro health toothpaste. I received a trial tube from my dentist in November and used it for about a month until it was used up. I didn't buy a replacement tube because I had a full tube of my other toothpaste left. I started having sensitivity about 3 weeks after I used it but it went away after about a month of not using the toothpaste. I assumed it was a certain food I had eaten that was irritating my gums during that period. Then my daughter went to the dentist and came home with a sample tube and I used hers and started having the same problems but still didn't associate it with the toothpaste. The tube was used up in a few weeks so just like before the sensitivity got better.

Crest 3D toothpaste - I too have ulcers and sore tongue, very painful mouth. Let me know if any action is taken against Crest.

This is my second time writing to you. I found out that the cracks on my tongue are healing up after I stopped using the Crest Pro Health. I still have some left but they are also healing after not using it for three weeks.

My one front tooth turned orange and the rest of my teeth look more yellow than they did before. The embarrassment of not being able to smile is awful. If this can't be resolved, I will be contacting my attorney.

I bought Crest Pro Health Whitening toothpaste and woke up the next morning with the same symptom of white stringy skin in my mouth as the other reviews I've read. I thought it was a common side effect that would go away with regular use. I bought a 2-pack of the toothpaste when I ran out of the first tube. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and in the past two weeks now, I've noticed an odd taste in my mouth that I assumed was from onions originally or something I'd eaten but it won't go away no matter how much I brush or rinse. I have small bumps on the back of my tongue near my throat where it feels just hot and gross. Also, my mouth feels dry now. I was freaking out trying to diagnose myself online as I do not have health insurance at the moment and I talked to my aunt who is in the medical field to get her opinion. She asked me if I had recently made any changes to my diet or anything and I told her I had started to take multi vitamins.

My teeth hurt really bad after using the whitening strips for 30 minutes. It hurts so bad I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Minutes after brushing my teeth, I felt like I had a film that would come out onto a tissue - it was brown and my sister stated that my teeth were yellow.

I started using Crest Pro-Health about 8 months ago and started having some extreme constipation issues. I was unable to use the restroom for days at a time (sometimes 5-6 days) and was in excruciating pain in the abdominal region. I also noticed that I had a buildup on the back of my teeth like an hour after brushing. I never linked this to the toothpaste. I assumed the toothbrush was the issue. I had the front part of my front left tooth eroding on the top. There's a crater now in my tooth and brown spots on my teeth started appearing about 2 weeks ago. (I brush twice a day and have very healthy habits and am very hygienic. I've have never had this happen until I started using this toothpaste.)

I started using Crest Pro Health Mouthwash several months ago and over that period have noticed a decline in how my teeth look and gums feel. Of course, I can't be totally positive that it's just this mouthwash; however, several days ago, I noticed almost suddenly my teeth, especially on the bottom, have a weird brownish tinge to them. Haven't had this before. Not even sure how to explain it but they look almost like I have brown gunk stuck to my teeth as if I haven't brushed in years sort of thing. I brush 2-3 times a day, floss, mouthwash, etc. All I know is it's GROSS looking. I was so embarrassed to show my family but wanted to show them so they could give their opinion.

I have worn the same partial plate for three years with no discomfort. I went to my dentist a few days ago complaining of raw blistering spots on the roof of my mouth and pain in the upper back tooth that anchors my partial. I have been unable to wear the partial for over a week, unable to eat anything but soft bland foods, and taking Tylenol every four hours (even during the night) for mouth and tooth pain. The X-ray revealed no infection or change. The only thing that is different in my oral care regime is that I purchased and began using this toothpaste about 10 days ago.

I purchased this toothpaste 3 days ago and have used it 3x a day . My mouth, tongue, outer lip and inside cheek areas feel numb and raw. It feels like my dentist has given me Novocaine and I'm completely frozen/numb. Once eating a meal or drinking anything afterwards, it leaves very little ability to taste my food or drink. Even after a couple of hours, my mouth STILL feels numb and almost uncomfortably raw.

I went to the dentist today. They said it looks like I have chemical burns on my gums & cheeks. I started using Crest Complete about 3 weeks to a month ago & noticed my mouth felt as though I had mouth sores. I noticed my flesh was just sloughing off. Now after reading these comments, I am shocked to learn I may be a victim of this awful product! I stopped using it & was told to use only baking soda.

I used Crest 3D White toothpaste for a week and started getting dry mouth, red blistered lips and red blistered skin on my cheek where the toothpaste had run up my brush on to my skin. It is now 6 weeks later and my dry mouth, peeling lips, and cheek are still red and peel after being in the sun. Why will this not go away?

For the last couple of months, my husband had a daily nauseous feeling and had a hard time keeping food down. He has been to the doctor and has just had 2 tests done by a specialist trying to figure out what is going on with his body. He has quit taking all medications and vitamins, except for his insulin, because we are trying to figure out what he has done differently in the last 2 months. He has been so anxious and scared thinking perhaps he is really sick. He has lost 20 pounds because he can't keep much down.

I started using Crest Pro Health, and while I loved the fresh feeling, 30 minutes after using the product, the walls of my jaws and under my tongue literally started PEELING! I thought this was just my imagination, so when I came home from work, I again... And lo and behold, the exact same thing happened. The peeling started to stick to my teeth and tongue...it was horrible...never again.

I have rashes in my face. I've been using Crest 3D White. OMG, this thing's really bad: sore mouth, really bad allergy, and even in the emergency room, my heart was beating fast, I couldn't breathe. Take this product out. Very dangerous, people. I might get a lawyer spending money in the hospital. Crest, sorry, this product is really bad... never again!!

It took 3+ weeks to figure out what was going wrong. My lips went from pink to black, which followed after black spots appeared here and there on my lips. I work in sales and always have to talk to people on a regular basis. I couldn't talk to people without the concern of them seeing my burnt-looking lips. I normally use pro enamel toothpaste but couldn't locate where I placed it. So I went and used Crest toothpaste with baking soda which was in my cabinet. The worst mistake ever. This whole time I was using something that was harming my lips on a daily basis before I read about dermatitis and the causes of it. It has since been about 2 days since I've quit using Crest. Now on a daily basis, I am taking pictures of my lips for progression purposes. Hopefully, it doesn't take 3 weeks to heal. ;(

For the last 7 months, I have had a terrible rash on my face which started with severely chapped lips; it spread to around my mouth and migrated to my whole face and neck. I went through 2 prescriptions of steroids, 10 days of antibiotics, and countless prescription creams. I saw an allergist, my dermatologist 3 times, and my primary care doctor multiple times. After being on a Zantac and allergy pill every morning, with a chaser of an antihistamine at night, for a week, I had enough. I avoided everything that was not in my usual personal care arsenal, as I have always had very sensitive skin. Then I just decided to switch my toothpaste, more out of curiosity.

This is in response to Edward of West Covina, CA on May 12, 2013 who wrote that even though he stopped using Crest, his symptoms persisted. I had stopped using Crest and switched to Biotene and my problem continued. That is because the fluoride, I presume, in Crest had completely ruined my mouth and made me overly sensitive to any fluoride. I had to completely stop using toothpaste with Fluoride. Unfortunately, even after 2 years, all the damage has not been repaired. The skin on the roof of my mouth just keeps sloughing off and I haven't found a fix. The important point is that you should stop all fluoride to start the recovery.

My husband & I have been using this toothpaste and have had bad experiences with it: dry mouth, the inside of our mouth is peeling and canker sore! I am throwing away the tube today and buying something else! I will never purchase any type of Crest Toothpaste. I wish I read the reviews when this all started. My husband and I are very disappointed and we are in pain!

I used this toothpaste for about a month. During the first week I noticed my gums were bleeding and some sticky substance was oozing out it. If I were you, I would stay as far away from any Crest toothpaste as possible. Going to get a dentist check it out, but I've been told it's going to cost at least $200 to reverse the damage done by this toothpaste. I was using Crest Pro-Health if anyone wanted to know.

For the first time in my life, I had bad brown stains on my teeth. I couldn't figure it out because I hadn't changed eating habits. My wife asked me if I thought it was the mouth rinse. I've only used 1 1/2 bottles of the rinse. She decided to look online and found that others have been having the same problem using Crest Pro-Health. I don't understand why Crest, which I have trusted for many years, continues to sell this product. I'll contact my dentist on Monday to see what can be done to correct the problem.

I used Crest Pro-Health for a month and a half. I am now suffering from extreme dry mouth. Dry raw patches in mouth, receding gums, sore throat, canker sores, loss of taste and dry lips. I'm in a lot of pain! Please recall this product! Very dangerous!

This is my second post (first one in February). Now I'm getting even more concerned. The blisters I received from using this toothpaste have not gone away. I'm beginning to wonder if I now have a sensitivity issue from using this horrible and dangerous product! It's been over two months since I stopped this crap, and the new toothpaste I'm currently using is not making matters worse - just not healing yet! I will try another brand tomorrow and visit my doctor next Monday! This product needs to be pulled from the shelves immediately!

The toothpaste makes my mouth fresh and it's okay but the tube is awful. Whatever happened to the screw-on cap? The cap is messy and once you use the paste, it is hard to put the cap on and it makes a mess.

I ran out of my regular toothpaste and started using Crest Pro Health, as my husband had bought it on the advice of his dentist. Within a few hours of using it, the inside of my mouth started peeling! I didn't know what was happening and I didn't connect the use of a new toothpaste with the problem. Later that night I told my husband about it and he said the same thing happened to him when he uses Crest Pro Health. Needless to say, we are no longer using any Crest products.

I already have a post, but I almost went to the ER today. My mouth is so messed up! My girlfriend of eighteen years looked at the inside of my lips today and the rest of my mouth. She said, "OMG, it looks like you have hundreds of little blisters all in your mouth!" And it's starting to feel like it burns. I'm going to see my family doctor Monday. I'm so miserable as I sit here at this very moment trying to nibble all the damn skin out of my mouth and can't get it out of my head that I'm sick or something terrible is wrong with me. I hope somebody sees this.

I started using this toothpaste about 2 1/2 months ago and within the first week or so, the inside of my mouth is all peeling. The upper and lower inside of my lips and cheeks are raw and peeling, and I feel so ill! It really feels like I'm rinsing my mouth out with Draino drain cleaner. I'm very scared. I have really stopped eating and brushing my teeth altogether. Please help me!

About three weeks ago, I arrived in Angola (SW Africa) for an extended period and brought a new tube of toothpaste with me, which I only started using once I got here. The first few days here, I noticed that I always felt like there was a film on the back of my teeth, but assumed it was the new toothbrush I had. But then, I started getting crazy amounts of painful canker sores underneath my tongue, and my gums were very sore each time I brushed. That persisted, and I was thinking it was some kind of African mouth bacteria. After about a week of that, I started waking up with swollen lips. My bottom lip would swell so bad sometimes that it would cause splitting at the corners of my mouth.

I have been having problems with my gums and generally the inside of my mouth for a few weeks. I wondered what was causing the problems and started eliminating items. To my surprise, I narrowed the issue down to my Crest Complete toothpaste. My gums feel raw and slightly bumpy. I have now noticed that I have started getting brown spots on the inside of my lower lip area. I have been a Crest user for years and am surprised to have this problem. I did some research online and found that they use Triclosan. Is it too much to expect companies to have safety concerns for their consumers? And I am too disappointed in the FDA as they are only looking into the problem. Some posts were done years ago. Oh well, I suppose it is just time for me to again become much more diligent about my safety. Tom's Toothpaste it is.

I used this toothpaste for a month. I started noticing burning in my mouth, gums and tonsils. I didn't realize it was the toothpaste until I stopped using it. After reading the comments on this site, I have found the culprit. There should be a warning label on this product. I have been scared for weeks now, thinking I was getting seriously ill. Someone needs to check into this for real.

Crest 3D Vivid whitening Toothpaste and mouthwash - I started using this product on Saturday and continued using it until this morning; it is now Monday. I so wish I had read all of these reviews because I am now feeling teeth sensitivity and tingling. The $9 I spent was not worth it at all! I am going to stop using the toothpaste and mouthwash immediately and hopefully my teeth will come back to normal. I have spent too much money and time to get my teeth in perfect condition. I would hate to have spent so little money to only destroy them completely. Crest, shame on you for keeping this product on the shelf!

I have been using Crest toothpaste all my adult life (I'm 40). Ever since Crest Extra Whitening came out, that's what I've been using. The formula must have changed because now the tube refers to "Crest Complete Multi-Benefit". For the past several months, I've had an extremely dry mouth & thirst. I usually brush 3 times a day. I thought I had a major health concern (diabetes) but after doctor visits & lab work, that is not the case. Yesterday, I got the idea that maybe it was my toothpaste. I tried something different the last 3 brushings & already notice a slight improvement in my tongue dryness. I've had the slimy film on my cheeks & also on my lips when I wake up in the morning as other reviewers had. I hope my symptoms go away completely, but it's hard telling if they're going to or not. I will never buy this again & need to get my 3 kids to stop using it. I'm very frustrated! It's time to switch brands! Now I'm stuck with doctor bills, thanks to Crest!

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased Crest Pro Health whitening toothpaste. My mouth started to peel more than usual and it hurt. Large amounts of skin were peeling from my lips, cheeks, and under my tongue. I thought maybe it was the whitening toothpaste so I switched to Crest Pro Health Clinical Gum Protection, and my mouth got even worse! My mouth started to peel even more. So much tissue peeled off that I can taste blood. I thought it would get better if I just kept using it. Nope! My tongue and underneath my tongue feel sore and swollen and even my taste buds are very sore. I needed this toothpaste for my gingivitis but I think it's doing more harm to me than anything. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I am emailing this hoping that someone is dealing with the same situation. The tube leaks even when you the close the lid. It can be lying down or upside down with the lid on counter, and it will still leak. I have wasted so much toothpaste on the counter instead of on our teeth. I am wondering if this is a way for them to get us to buy more toothpaste. I hope someone is dealing with the same issue.

I had used this toothpaste once a day for three days and that was 12 days ago. I quit using it because I couldn't brush my teeth anymore. Why? Because my lips, tongue and mouth were so damn burnt from this toothpaste that 12 days later, I'm still dealing with the burn. This product is dangerous, causes lasting pain and should be eliminated, period. I'm so upset and angry. I can't eat normal foods; everything has to be soft. Foods that aren't spicy, zero spice at all, now seem extremely spicy to me. There's a funky metallic taste in my mouth all the time. Thanks, Crest. Thanks a lot.

Yup, I had the exact same experience as so many others here. My tongue and gums started to hurt and it looked like I had a cut on the tip of my tongue. It felt like I had been brushing with sandpaper and my whole mouth was in pain. After a few days, I found these reviews, switched to Aim toothpaste (which is cheaper anyway) and now my mouth is back to its usual sassy self. Buyer beware!

I have very little brand loyalty when it comes to toothpaste. I will typically buy whatever is on sale and as such, I have tried dozens of different brands, flavors and gimmicks. I have never had a reaction to any oral treatment, toothpaste or rinse, until my latest purchase of Crest Pro Health Plaque Control. The pain and discomfort is indescribable, but I will try my best as others have done here. After my first day of use, I began to develop pain in my gums. I initially chalked that up to the new toothbrush I also purchased. On the second day, I began developing a tingling sensation on my tongue. I thought maybe I had drunk my coffee too hot. On the third day, the outside of my lips started to rash, my throat was sore, and the tingling on my tongue turned to full-on pain. I realized that it was all too coincidental and had to be caused by the new toothpaste. I quickly discontinued use of Crest Pro Health and started using Sensodyne hoping to soothe some of the discomfort. No luck.

I just stopped using this toothpaste after a week when I noticed tiny cuts on the insides of my cheeks and pain throughout my entire mouth. Despite stopping the toothpaste for 48 hours, I now have a small blister under my tongue. I've never ever experienced anything like this from a toothpaste and have no known allergies. I will never ever buy a Crest product again.

Please listen. I started having rashes all over my body. They would happen at work, around 11AM, and at night after I went to bed. It took me three years and thousands of dollars in medical bills and ER visits, one which almost killed me. What they had in common was the fact that I would brush my teeth with Crest before I went to work and before I went to bed. I was at an allergist at a hospital, which is world known (people travel all from all over to go to this hospital). They said I was latex sensitive and needed to avoid latex for the rest of my life. I refused to believe them. There is no way I was latex sensitive. So one day my wife and I went shopping and I wanted to try this new toothpaste. So I did.

I used an entire tube of Crest 3D White and had a noticeably dry mouth. I thought I had cavities because of the dryness and tooth and gum sensitivity. When that tube was gone, I bought another kind not realizing it was due to the toothpaste. I thought it was TMJ. Just bought another tube two weeks ago and my mouth is like chalk all day. My gums seem to be receding in the back and are sore. My saliva is frothy when I have any at all and it makes me nauseous at times. Just told my husband not to use it anymore. If I didn't see all of the complaints I found when I googled "Crest 3d white dry mouth," I'd probably buy Crest products again. Knowing they haven't even put warning labels on the product has led me to swear off Crest all together.

I bought Crest Pro-Health mouth rinse Friday, March 22, 2013 and just used it for the first time this morning. I have a horrible taste in my mouth that I cannot brush away or rinse away. This stuff needs a warning label even if it is safe.

I bought a Crest mouthwash on Sunday, 3/17/2013, and ever since, I have been feeling a weird sensation inside my cheek every time I used the mouthwash. I did not think anything of it until today. As I ate lunch, I could barely eat. It hurt so much that I wanted to scream. Now, the left side of my cheek is swollen and it hurts.

After using Crest Pro Health Toothpaste, I developed hypersensitivity to my tongue, roof of my mouth, and the lingual side of my gums. The pain is terrible. I also had sloughing of cheek tissue and gum tissue. This has been going on for several months. I have been to my dentist and medical physician and there is no treatment. There was no warning on the tube of possible side effects or adverse reactions. This is totally irresponsible of Crest and a warning might have saved many people from this type of injury. The FDA should be made aware of this and an investigation should be started. This product should be pulled off the shelves.

I used Crest White 3D toothpaste. I developed sores under my tongue and on my cheeks. It really hurt. I just looked into toothpaste online on a whim. It turns out to be far more pervasive than I would have imagined. Oddly enough, we bought ours in a 3-pack on mega clearance at Target. So either no one is buying it or someone is trying to liquidate it before the sales stop. I am very upset and will be lodging complaints with Crest, the FDA, and the better business Bureau tomorrow. This is unacceptable and only as a group do the consumers have a voice.

The white doesn't really happen but that is okay; I didn't expect any miracle. My complaint is the caps on the newer tubes don't close after a few times of using. Once the tube gets less full, the cap is permanently not closing because the cap is full of old dried toothpaste. The holder or guard is too shallow to hold any toothpaste. It fills full of toothpaste and won't close. Cleaning it out is almost impossible... even stomping on it doesn't help. I bought another brand to get a better cap. Ha, on that idea because it seems to be that other companies like these new caps. The old screw on caps were good for years. Please go back to the design boards and either use old screw-ons or design something that really will close.

I could not figure out what was going on with my lips, tongue and mouth. I experienced a sensitivity while eating and drinking. Initially, I attributed the sensation to possibly having consumed a hot beverage or soup. The symptoms worsened. My tongue, lips and gums have blisters. The back of my throat is dry and irritated. It feels like I have strep. Swallowing is difficult. My tongue feels like I have consumed a diet that is high in acidic foods. After reading similar complaints, I'm convinced that it can be attributed to my recent use of Crest 3D White Toothpaste. I have a followup appointment with the dentist next week. I will get my dentist to document my complaints. The side effects from the use of this product should be examined.

I had a very unpleasant reaction to this particular toothpaste. I started getting these large blisters inside mouth, on the lower and upper lips. I thought that I burned my lips with hot soup. It took me two weeks to figure this out! This product should be pulled out from the market immediately! I still have the very tube of this bogus and dangerous toothpaste. Consumers, beware!

I've gone through two tubes of this. I noticed within the first few days that the lining of my mouth was peeling off. I thought this must be normal but it has continued and now there are open sores in the back of my mouth! This stuff is dangerous. How can they do this to us? I use this twice a day because the tube advises this and the package clearly states, "Defends against dental conditions people over 50 experience." I have an experience for Crest - distrust!

Someone told me today that my teeth looked discolored. I checked; they were, bluish green. I have been experiencing pain ever since I started using Crest Pro toothpaste. I even thought that it burns; I felt it was supposed to. I didn't think anyone would approve a product that causes mouth blisters and burning. I've been using Crest since I was a kid. Captain Kangaroo used to advertise Crest. That sold me on the brand. Now, I don't know what to do. My teeth are discolored; I have mouth blisters and pain in the bone and don't know if my teeth will ever go back to normal. Has anyone else had this problem? I wonder if bleaching my teeth will restore my color. Did it somehow wear the enamel off?

My boyfriend purchased Crest 3D White toothpaste about a month ago. As we have separate bathrooms, I hadn't used it until a couple of days ago. I had an immediate burning sensation in my mouth, which moved into my esophagus. No, I wasn't swallowing it. It just seemed to flood the entire area. I started coughing and felt like I couldn't breathe. A short while later, I noticed the shredding referenced by others. I told my boyfriend and he reminded me that he had been complaining of heartburn for the last few weeks after brushing his teeth and laying down. I read the label and saw that the toothpaste is almost 1/4 sodium fluoride! Then I got online and found these other complaints. The label warns about poisoning for children under 6, for goodness sake! These products should be pulled immediately by the FDA since P&G appears to have blatant disregard for consumers!

I tried this toothpaste and, much to my surprise and dismay, 3 days later, I woke up to blue teeth. It's not funny and I'm not happy. I work with the public. I was lucky to get in to my dentist to have my teeth pumiced. Shame on you, Crest, for not doing more research. My blue teeth cost you a faithful customer of over 40 years. No more Crest products for me.

I received a sample of Crest Pro Health in the mail from Procter and Gamble with a coupon. So I decided to try this. At first it was okay for the first week, so I decided I would purchase after the sample was out. Well, after another week of use, I noticed the inside of my mouth would have these white skin-like strips around my gums and inside of my upper and lower lip. So I would take a tissue and wipe it out and it would be very sore. Well I would keep using it thinking it was just me getting used to this new toothpaste. Oh no, it kept getting worse. This past weekend my mouth was on fire and my taste buds were literally dead. As I was brushing my teeth this morning, a piece of my tooth broke off from the back of my tooth. Do not buy this toothpaste. My lips and gums are still so sore at the moment.

Very upset that I finally read other reviews about the white mucous in my mouth from the Crest toothpaste. Apparently, this has been going on for years and I continued to buy it. A warning label should be on the package. After fifty years of being a Crest advocate, I am switching to Colgate. Please stop ignoring the complaints.

I began using Crest 3D White toothpaste about 6 weeks ago to get my teeth a little whiter. I recently threw it away, this morning to be exact, because I began experiencing whiteness and dryness around the lips. My inner cheeks were shedding, but that was prior to the drastic teeth sensitivity I'm experiencing now. At first I thought it was a toothache and I would just make an appointment with my dentist, but what made me skeptical was that I couldn't seem to pinpoint the source of pain.

I started using Pro-Health Clinical toothpaste about three weeks ago. About two weeks ago, I started having very sore gums, canker-like sores in my mouth and gums, a sore, burning tongue, and tingling lips. I am convinced the problem started because of the toothpaste as there have been no other changes in my life that would have caused these symptoms. I am livid there were no warnings on the package. My mouth is a sore hurting mess ... to the point it hurts to eat and drink. I'm so disappointed in Crest. I've been a Crest user all my life until tonight. I bought another brand and hope this mouth heals soon. I, too, think a class action lawsuit is in order and the FDA should require different labeling or remove this product from the market immediately.

So I bought this toothpaste believing it would work great and reverse gingivitis. I've been using it for at least 6 weeks and noticed every time I use it, my mouth is on fire and so are my lips; but I thought that was normal for this toothpaste to work. So then my back teeth began to break off. I was literally chewing gum today in class and pieces of my teeth were in my gum, like WTH is really happening. How do I let Crest know what's going on with their crappy product? I'm really upset; I don't have the best set of teeth, but I don't want toothpaste to ruin the good ones that I do have.

So glad I found this site! I've been searching all evening for causes for my burning mouth and other symptoms. It was only when I tried to think of the common factor did that light bulb go off. Crest toothpaste! I have been using Crest Whitening with Scope. For the first few months, it wasn't bad. Just a bit of discomfort that I always tried to attribute to something else - not once thinking it could be the toothpaste. But in recent weeks, the sensations have intensified. I have a burning, tingling feeling on my tongue and whole mouth including inside lips. About a week ago, it felt like there was a hair on my tongue. Then it went numb in that spot, then feeling returned within seconds. I went to the doctor later on, but everything is good.

I recently decided to give Crest 3D White toothpaste a try. Wished I had read the reviews before using the product. The experience was very unpleasant. I could not for the life of me figure out what was happening with my mouth. My lips were very dry and burning, the roof of my mouth hurt and my gums hurt. While also out shopping, my daughter was like, "Mom, you have a lot of white stuff on your lips." Needless to say, this was very embarrassing. My mouth was covered with white slime; I thought I was developing serious health problems. Then lo and behold, it was the darn toothpaste. It scared the crap out of me. I do not recommend anyone using this line of product from Crest. Shame on you Crest. Back to the drawing board with this one.

The first time my husband used Crest Pro Health Clinical mouthwash, the inside of his mouth hurt and burned. The next day, one side of his face was swollen up to his ear and he looked like he had mumps. The swelling was gone after about 48 hours. Five days later, his mouth was still a little sore. When he ate a clementine, he experienced the same swelling reaction in his face. We believe that the mouthwash irritated the interior of his mouth so badly that when he ate the acidic clementine, it was like putting vinegar on an open wound. This is a horrible product with an abundance of people experiencing a similar reaction. It should not be allowed to be on the market. There should be a class action lawsuit regarding this product.

My whole mouth has blisters in it. I see my dentist regularly. About a year ago, I had a breakout in my mouth. I thought it could have been related to something else. I was curious, so I tried it yesterday. My mouth hurts so badly; it is definitely the toothpaste. The FDA needs to pull out this crap and a class action suit needs to be filed.

I'm so glad I found these complaints! My daughter had just purchased this Crest Pro Health Gum protection toothpaste, and within the first 4 days of using it, began to show all the same symptoms as the rest of the group here. She has canker sores, red bumps under her tongue, peeling skin inside her cheeks and gum line. This is absolutely horrible. This product remains on the shelf! Never use Crest, period! Boycott! I hope we see a class action lawsuit. Can you imagine all the folks using this product, and not realizing it's the tooth paste?! Amazing! And it's so harmful to your health!

I, like all the others, would brush and shortly after I would get this yucky slime in my mouth. I was shocked by this and thought that I was having some health problem. This has been going on for a couple years. I mentioned this to my dentist. He told told me that it could have been some ingredient in the Pro Health. I stopped using it and it went away. Well, silly me, every time I would go back to my check up, that's what I would receive in my gift bag and I would use it and the same thing happened. Well, this time my dentist said that my gums in one spot looked like they were burned. I thought, omg! I started using the PHC again because I bought a pack of this at Sam's and just didn't want to waste my money, so here I am. I wish everyone well. P&G should put a warning on this package or better still, take it off the shelf. We should be able to makes choices based on what we know. And the worst part of it all, they should care to address the problem.

Crest Vivid 3D whitening toothpaste - I have been using this toothpaste for about a week or two and never understood that my mouth issues were being caused by this toothpaste. It has totally wrecked the soft tissue in my mouth (hopefully temporarily). It feels raw and tingly, and just a mess. It all came full steam when I brushed my teeth right before bed the other night and woke up the next morning with my mouth feeling like a rare steak! This is nuts. You guys have to put a warning on this product. How about some fair balance. You guys really screwed up here.

I bought a tube of this toothpaste (Crest 3D white) from one store and didn't have any problems. When this ran out, I bought a tube from Walmart, then I noticed this slime coming out of my mouth when I spit the toothpaste out. Then I started coughing a lot. I then had sore gums and my whole mouth became sore. I tried to eat and it felt like the food was going down into my gums and I couldn't brush my teeth because my gums were so sore. I noticed three teeth became loose. I felt like it was making my teeth just crumble. I went to the dentist and they had to redo all my fillings and had to pull three teeth that didn't have any fillings before. I then had to have two very expensive cleanings. I then had to get a partial for the lost teeth and my teeth now have decalcification so more cavities. Thanks, Crest, for destroying my teeth, 3,000 dollars and I am sure more to come. I don't have dental insurance!

In August this year, I started a new job and I wanted to impress with a nice, white smile. In the past, I'd tried dentist prescribed products and it caused too much tooth sensitivity so I knew my best bet was an OTC whitening toothpaste. I purchased the Crest 3D white Luxe. I was so excited about trying it so I began immediately. Within a week, a horrible rash formed all around my mouth and even ventured out towards my nose and cheeks. I automatically assumed it was stress from beginning the new job. I went to a dermatologist in which they prescribed an oral med and a topical med as well. I used both of them religiously and after 48 hours, it would clear up some and I'd wake up the next day, it would be twice as bad. It was several small clusters of red bumps with white centers. I kept thinking to myself how much it resembled a rash versus an acne breakout but I continued using my meds regardless.

I switched to Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste as my dental hygienist recommended it. I would brush twice daily, in the mornings and just before bed. Prior to this, I was using Crest 3D whitening toothpaste from which I had no problems. After switching to the Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste, my mouth would peel. It was disgusting. It happened every morning and every night after brushing. I switched back to the Crest 3D whitening toothpaste and the peeling stopped instantly. There should be some kind of warning about reactions to this toothpaste on the tube. I was disappointed with Crest. I've used Crest since I was a child. This is the first time I've had a reaction like this. I would think they would be more responsible to their loyal consumers and inform them of what could happen when using their products.

This past spring, I started using Vivid white toothpaste from Crest. I developed acute pharyngitis. My tongue was raw all the time. I would brush my teeth before bedtime, lay down and my nose would become so stuffy. I went to the doctor 3 times for antibiotic, thrush treatment and Prednisone. I was freaking out and could not get any relief. Last Friday, I thought what the heck, I'll try not using Crest Vivid white. Guess what? My throat is better, tongue is better and no stuffy nose. Big warning label should be attached to this product! My mouth was so dry all the time! Thank God for all the problem solving classes I have gone through!

I cannot believe this. I bought these White Strips from Walmart for 60 dollars and they didn't even work at all and I was supposed to get 7 in mine, but there were only 5.

The packaging is all wrong. I don't have any problems with the toothpaste, but I have to stop buying it because every single tube leaks if stored horizontally. Come on, Crest. You're better than this!

Why, oh why, isn't there a warning on this stuff?! My mouth is a mess and my lips are bleeding! How is that okay?! I will admit I was a little slow to figure out the 3D Rinse was the cause. It would have been helpful if there had been a warning to direct me/jog my memory to the rinse. Anyone know how long the effects last?

So, I have been worried for days now as to why I have been developing these canker-like-sores inside my cheeks and on the sides of my tongue. The only thing that I have done differently is started using Crest Vivid Luxe Glamorous 3D toothpaste. I stopped today after speaking with my doctor. I plan to purchase a more sensitive kind tomorrow. However, what I don't understand is that the ingredients listed on the 3D toothpaste are the same as most other toothpastes. So is there something I'm missing as to why this would happen? All I know is I have been really freaked out thinking I was developing mouth/tongue cancer or something. I'm anxious to see if all the sores go away now that I won't be using the Crest 3D anymore. If they do, I really think something should be done! I just read through like 100 complaints from people using Crest 3D and Pro Health products that are having the same and similar issues. I included a picture of one side of my tongue, but I was unable to get a good shot of the inside of my cheeks. It's obviously a hard area to get a shot of.

I purchased Crest Complete Cinnamon Expressions toothpaste because I wanted to try a cinnamon flavored toothpaste (I love cinnamon). It tasted good and left my mouth very refreshed for many hours, so initially I was satisfied with the product. After 2 days of use I realized I had got a painful canker on the rear of my tongue (it scratched right against my teeth, so it was very annoying), but I did not relate it to the toothpaste. Then after 2 more days (4 days of use), I developed a sore throat and wondered how I could have gotten it since I had not gotten out of the house in the past few days. Then I started to wonder about my new Crest toothpaste.

The metallic taste won't go away and you need to discontinue your product. I have gotten so sick from this mouthwash. My mouth tastes like metal and I have the runs because of it. I went to the doctor and now, I’m seeing my dentist tomorrow.

I began using Crest Complete toothpaste after switching from my regular Tom's toothpaste. After a week of use, I began to have swollen gums, redness in my mouth, and it looks like my gums have deteriorated to some extent. I have never had dental problems before. Heck, I only have one filling that I got 20 years ago. Initially, I thought that it was a food allergy. However, after I brushed my teeth with Crest Care Complete, my mouth immediately began to burn, my gums reddened and became super sensitive. I waited for two hours and tried brushing my teeth with my natural Arm and Hammer baking soda, just to isolate the problem. With the natural baking soda, my mouth was still irritated, but it did not sting or burn as it did with Crest Care Complete. I'm going to file a complaint because I see that I am not alone.

I'm currently fighting a battle of preventative maintenance due to a lack of dental insurance. I bought the rinse to maintain my health as much as possible. Well, I feel like I may have inflicted damage to myself after just a few uses of this rinse. I can barely drink anything other than water or tea after 2 days use (4 applications) of the rinse. And I'm still alarmed that skin is still shedding from my inside cheeks. One spot near the top of the gum is ulcerated and feels like it was sliced with a razor or scorched with a flame. Just stay the hell away from this stuff. I cannot believe that this product is on the market. It should not be for "consumer use". They need to put a disclaimer that states what to expect with proper use and a warning if skin starts to shed. Crest can go straight to hell!

I chose to take the least expensive process for teeth whitening and used the Crest Professional Effects strips with a positive result, so I decided that I would switch to the 3D Vivid paste and mouth rinse. My lips have been cracked (occasionally bleeding) since approximately a week after starting these products. I should mention it was summer where I live. I finally decided to Google the symptoms and product reviews today. Wow, was I surprised! I actually feel lucky, because all I've had are the dry, cracked lips and white slime - none of the more serious complaints that so many experienced. I plan to discontinue the use of this toothpaste and mouth rinse immediately, and I, like some other reviewers, am a bit surprised that the FDA hasn't stepped in to at least investigate the products based upon the widespread problems that are evidently attributed to them. Just wish I had taken the time to research a few months ago.

About a month after innocuously using this toothpaste, I developed a rough spot on my inner bottom lip. This was followed by an extreme sensation of dry mouth to the point of having to drink water or suck on a hard candy continuously for relief. I am also experiencing burning lips and transitory sores that have affected by tongue, cheeks and lining of the lips. At one point, the dryness extended down to my esophagus. I have never in my life experienced anything like this and began to do research wondering if I had developed some odd viral illness or auto immune disease like Sjögren's. I have always been a very healthy person and I do not have health insurance, yet I was beginning to feel I had no choice but to see a doctor or dentist about my symptoms.

I recently bought Crest White toothpaste to see if I could brighten my teeth up. I used it only for 3-4 days and my teeth became super sensitive. Now after a week, my front teeth are still hurting. Feels like it did something to the nerves in my teeth. Very angry and upset with them over this. I'm going back to my old toothpaste, Close Up. It never hurts my teeth. It's very painful.

My boyfriend and I are both faithful Crest users and have been using Crest Baking Soda Whitening with Tartar Protection for many years. We have never had an issue with this toothpaste until about two weeks ago. We both experienced sores in our mouths, and also sensitivity to our gums. When I called Crest, they made it seem as if we were the only individuals complaining. I come to find out there were many. Something needs to be done! I feel that they are misleading their faithful customers into thinking nothing is wrong when that isn't the case.

I used Crest Pro Health Clinical mouthwash once on 9/13/12 (evening) and once on 9/14/12 (morning). On 9/13, the burning sensation was a bit strong, but I chalked it up to being normal. On the morning of 9/14, I rinsed again but experienced a very intense burning. An hour after using the mouthwash, I ate breakfast and noticed that I could not taste my breakfast at all. My tongue has become swollen. I cannot sense hot/cold when eating, and I also cannot taste anything that I eat. It amazes me that such side effects are not listed on the packaging, especially considering that there are many complaints about this.

I couldn't find my usual toothpaste, so I decided to try the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and rinse. After 2 weeks, I noticed a very dry mouth. But then it quickly went to mouth lesions, dry mouth, gums pulling away from teeth, and deteriorating gum tissue. The inside of my mouth feels like bubble wrap with small bumps all over and there’s a film all over my teeth.

I started using Crest Pro Health Whitening toothpaste and Crest Pro Health Complete Fluoride Alcohol-Free mouthwash. I am on the third day of using this stuff, but even on the first day I noticed a tingling sensation on my tongue and then a burning sensation. Now on the third day, my tongue is burning. I have sores all over my mouth and it hurts to talk. Even my lips hurt. Also, the skin inside my cheeks has been coming off. I think this is what you call chemical burn something. I intend to do research about this and write something about it. These products causing such harmful and hurtful effects for so many people should not be on the market!

Avoid Crest 3D White Multi-care Whitening Rinse. I used the above rinse for three weeks. It’s the first time I have ever used this product or product line. I used it in the morning and night. After about one week, I noticed throat soreness, marked dryness at the back of my throat and back of my tongue, and a grey, brownish color taking over my whole tongue. By ten days, my whole mouth felt burned, sore, and it was hard to swallow. I stopped using this wash after three weeks and even though it has only been three days, it is already better. I figure it will probably take at least a couple of weeks to heal properly - at least! I wish I had seen this site before using! Avoid Crest 3D White Multi-care.

I have been experiencing painful throat problems and heartburn-type symptoms after using Crest Pro-health clinical toothpaste. Even my stomach felt like it was burning. My son woke up and was in so much pain I took him to the emergency room 8/11/12 to have him checked out for a heart attack and the doctor said it was severe heartburn instead. The only new item we had been using was the toothpaste and we stopped using it and our symptoms are disappearing. We only had the toothpaste for a couple of weeks. I called the FDA and had to leave a voice mail.

Crest is an outrage. I've never had teeth problems or discoloration and after using Crest Pro Health with stannous fluoride, I suddenly have awful brown stains along the gum line that look like I've been a heavy smoker and coffee drinker all my life. These stains literally appeared within a few days and they won't come off. I see from other posts on the internet that I'll need to go get a professional cleaning. What? A toothpaste that sends you to the dentist for an expensive procedure? How in the world is this product still on the shelves with all the numerous complaints of serious, unacceptable side effects?

I just bought this 3D WhiteStrips at Wal-Mart a couple of days ago. Then, I have used it for two days for two hours for the direction on the box. One day treatment made my teeth sensitive, but the box said it's okay. Then the second day after brushing my teeth, I feel that most of my teeth are cracked.

I am going to be as thorough as possible with what I am going through right now because there are so many symptoms and I would like to know if anybody else is having or had the same. I used Crest 3Dwhite two days ago and since yesterday, my mouth and tongue are dry, cracked, and burning like crazy. I have blisters on the bottom right side of my tongue. It hurts to swallow (throat and tongue feels raw). I hardly slept at all last night. My face has been blotchy, dry, feels tight and face and neck broke out (white heads). My lips are so chapped (dry and cracking). My upper left lip even bled last night. I have an itchy rash on my left arm and shoulder and a little bit on my stomach. I have a little fever right now. I am fatigued, irritable, off and on between the chills and hot flashes, headache. My ears hurt (the right one is worse). I have been burping often which is not normal for me and my right jaw hurts so bad I can barely open it before I feel the pain.

I have been using Crest 3D for about a month then I started getting sores and white patches on my tongue, and then redness on my tongue. This was very painful so I stopped using it and my mouth got better. I do not recommend this toothpaste to anyone. I suffered with severe pain when using this toothpaste. I cannot believe as there are many complaints about this toothpaste that it is still in the market. I have always used Crest original toothpaste since childhood and I never had a problem, but this 3D is not good to use!

I've had chemical burn using the Clinical Crest Pro Health wash. I burned my gums and tongue. A white film occurred after three uses in one day after very brief rinses. That night, my tongue burned all night. Upon rising in the morning, I had white spots on my tongue and white film, while I was unable to drink anything that was warm or eat anything or close my mouth due to the burning. I used cool water and kept rinsing my mouth but still it keeps burning. I hope things would heal and still have my taste buds. Someone should do something about this product and get it off the market. It is now Saturday. If the burns are still there on Monday, I will have my dentist document this. This is crap and I know I am not the only one that has had the same outcome using this product.

I am sorry to say that I had to trash your Crest Pro-Health (SK# 3700051846) with mint. It was the most disgusting taste I have ever had. The grit that is in the tooth paste feels like I just put sand in my mouth. I have been using Crest for years and have never come across a taste like that. I guess I will have to go back to the regular Crest. And please do not put sand in it. Thank you.

I'd been using regular Crest toothpaste for years without incident, and I switched to Crest Pro-Health toothpaste about a month ago when my old tube of the regular stuff ran out. This morning, I found a hole developing on the front of one of my incisors up near the gum where I concentrate my brushing efforts. That hole wasn't there before I started using Crest Pro-Health. Now I'm going to have to shell out for the dentist to fix it. I wish I had read the online reviews instead of just going by the claims on the packaging when I went to get that new tube of toothpaste. Tomorrow, I'm going to the store to get a different brand of toothpaste. I don't think I'll ever trust Crest products again.

Why is this toothpaste still on the market? I have been having the worst chapped lips ever. I never get chapped lips. It's summer now but I have got sores on lips and a major dry mouth. I have been wondering why for weeks now. It occurred to me after I brushed my teeth with this horrific toothpaste I have been using for months that my bottom lip burned. So, I went to my computer and googled the toothpaste to see all these terrible reviews about this Crest toothpaste. They must remove this toothpaste from the market as soon as possible. It has caused a lot of pain and suffering to people!

It has been almost a year since I quit using Crest Pro Health toothpaste, Pro Health rinse, and Crest Gum Care toothpaste and my mouth is still dry. My breath changed for worse and it’s hard to speak correctly. My family's dentists are giving out samples of Crest Pro Health products, which my kids use despite my warnings. My throat and tongue still feel sore and my teeth and gums do not look as healthy as they did 5 years ago. I began using the Crest Pro Health products 5 years ago because my work kept me very busy and I wanted to have good breath, less tartar and keep my teeth attractive. In my first complaint, I forgot to mention that my mouth began showing signs of dryness 5 years ago, in which I did not realize it was constant until my daughter pointed out how I kept smacking and swallowing when speaking. This was because my mouth was dry.

I'm so upset with Crest. I started using Crest 3D Vivid toothpaste back in January 2012 (this was after a great routine dental checkup in November 2011). I went back to see my dentist for a routine checkup in April 2012. To their surprise, I had a pocket of infection in one of my teeth. I had no idea. They treated this and I bought an electric toothbrush thinking that would help, but I continued to use Crest Vivid 3D. I went back a month later and my entire mouth was negatively affected and my gums were pulling away from my teeth. My gum measurements were 4 to 6 in my entire mouth. Fortunately, the infection was gone because of the treatment but the pocket was still there and I had bone loss. They asked me if anything had changed in my routine and I did change my toothpaste.

I bought this Crest Pro Health toothpaste at Costco, because it looked on the package like it would be good for cleaning our teeth completely. But after several days of use, I noticed my mouth was really dry feeling. I thought it was just from the allergy medicine I had started to take. When the dry mouth did not go away after stopping the medicine, I became concerned. It was then I realized the culprit could be the toothpaste. While away for a weekend, I used a different brand and noticed the symptoms subsiding. Needless to say, we are never going to buy this toothpaste again. It should be labeled with a warning that it may cause dry mouth.

Unfortunately, it took me a long time to realize it was my toothpaste causing my problems. I thought my problem might be a reaction to various foods, vitamins or supplements and needless to say, going through each and every item takes time. Either way, I had the reaction of occasional mouth sores, terribly chapped, cracked and peeling lips, occasional swollen lips (yes, that's serious stuff!) and the last two weeks of use of this toothpaste resulted in the inside cheek tissue actually beginning to slough off. I was ready to make an appointment with an allergist when I remembered that about 8-10 years ago, both my husband and I developed many canker sores while using another new and improved toothpaste (can't remember which one now, but do know it was Colgate or Crest) and once we stopped, the canker sores went away.

I experienced a tingling/drooling sensation on my lower lip and inside of my cheek along with white stringy, slimy stuff forming near the gum line and the lower bottom teeth. I threw out the toothpaste (Pro-Health toothpaste) after reading these reviews. I was seen by my primary doctor and dentist and neither could explain my tingling/drooling sensation as well as numbness on the one side of my lower lip that comes and goes. I switched toothpaste and am no longer noticing the white slimy stuff!

The Pro Health with the snap-top lid - thank heavens it was in a plastic bag on the plane. It leaked on just a few things. At home, it leaked all over my make-up drawer. The lid does not seal. That awful blue gets on everything. It is less than half-used and I am throwing it away because I am tired of wiping blue stuff up.

Crest Pro Health Clinical Mouth Rinse - I purchased the mouth rinse a couple of days ago and have noticed a sensitivity in my teeth and my tongue has been feeling as if I scalded it with hot tea. The taste buds are all red, irritated and numb. The Crest product is the only change I've made, so I decided to look up for reviews on it. I wish I had done it before buying. Many people seem to experience the same sensations and worse. How is this allowed to be sold? It is physically harmful, plus a waste of $5!

So at first, I noticed I had stringy slime coming out of my mouth! Yuck! I was scraping my inner cheeks with my fingernail to get it all out. I was trying to think back if I burnt my mouth the night before that happened. Your inner cheeks peel. But I remembered I didn't and this substance was slimy and usually when you burn your mouth on food, the skin isn't slimy. It kept happening about an hour after I'd brush my teeth. So gross! Basically, I didn't know what the heck could cause this. So I googled "weird mouth slime" and find myself here, reading tons of reviews, most having the exact same nasty issue I had, plus more horrific reactions which got me all worried. I went to the bathroom to check because I knew I was using Crest, but didn't know which one. Sure enough, Crest Pro Health - the devil! The same exact toothpaste that hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands, of people are having horrible reactions from.

I have been using Pro-Health for plaque control for 3 months now and when I first started using it, I noticed my mouth would feel gritty after for at least an hour but I never really thought anything of it. I just figured it was how the toothpaste worked. However, things have been getting worse lately. I now cannot taste anything I eat or drink and when I do drink things, whether it is hot or something cold, my cheeks burn really bad. I am now completely done with this toothpaste due to the fact that merely seconds after brushing my teeth last night, my bottom lip began to swell. Now that I have found this website, it is nice to know I am not alone.

Like the other people who have posted, I have experienced many of the same problems. I used Crest Vivid Whitening toothpaste for two weeks when my gums became especially sore and bright pink along the gum line. They were bleeding and sore. I was able to figure out pretty quickly it was the toothpaste so I quit immediately but the damage was already done. All this in a vain effort to have a whiter smile. I thought Crest was a company I could trust but their product is not safe. It has been 8 months and my gums are not completely healed. It turned into periodontal disease.

I began using Crest 3D White mouthwash last week and within a week developed a white furry tongue (like white velvet in the back) and bleeding gums and feeling like I had cotton balls in the back of my throat. I went to the doctor and found out that it was a fungal infection. Something in there is a little bit too strong. I have noticed that there are a lot of numb tongue and white tongue issues here. Go to the doctor and see.

I have never been a Crest user and will never be again in the future. I bought Crest Pro-Heath Toothpaste because I had seen an ad for it on TV, what a mistake I made. It sounded very good to me and thought I would try it out. I have a partial plate on the bottom and the first sign that something was wrong was feeling like I had a tooth ache where I don't have any teeth. Then I noticed that when I put my partial in, it hurt to chew so I took it out. I kept brushing more and more and rinsing more and more trying to relieve the problem which kept getting worse and worse. My gums and tongue became inflamed and very, very painful - so painful that I can only eat soft food or fluids.

I have been using Crest 3D White toothpaste for the first time in the last couple of months and suddenly noticed an odd white "spot" on one tooth. Now, I realized that it is where enamel has worn off! And they advertise that it is "enamel safe" on the box; otherwise, I never would have purchased it! I go to the dentist regularly and my teeth were perfect before using this product. I will be going to the dentist regarding this issue and based on all the other horrible reviews I saw here, I will stop using this toothpaste immediately. My understanding is that enamel cannot "come back" so I agree that we should all file a class-action lawsuit against Crest. They need to pay for my dental bills to fix this! How long did they test this product? This is ridiculous.

For 1 and 1/2 years now, I have been battling mouth issues. It all started with a canker like sore in my mouth, since the one canker came more in a row on the sides of my tongue along with a dry cat like scratchy white tongue, peeling of my cheeks and under tongue and slimy stringy mucus strings that take a while to be rubbed off with your tongue. I've seen my dentist and they didn't seem to find anything. They referred me to an oral pathologist. He was very good but said that there seem to be an irritation in my mouth but no cancer or other disease. He suggested only biotene products to help with dry mouth and irritation issues but still no fix! So I examined my own daily routines and thought maybe me drinking iced tea daily did this! Unsweetened natural sun tea... nope. Then I thought smoking but why all the sudden the change? I know the smoking is a bad habit, but I'm a light smoker! I then was referred to dermatologist. He suggested using a mouthwash that helped with burning mouth syndrome and such! No go. I wasn't going to wash with that thick nasty crap!

Do not use this stuff! After 3 months of burning lips, cracked lips, blistered lips, and 2 different doctor’s visits, I finally found out it was Crest Pro Health Toothpaste that was chemically burning my lips. I started using in February and a few weeks later, I started having problems. I went to the doctor, they thought it was a food allergy. I have never been allergic to anything! They gave me a steroid and I bought about 10 different lip balms, Vaseline, etc. I went to the doctor again and he gave me an antibiotic. It helped a little but when the pills were done, it flared back up.

Crest Pro Health toothpaste - My husband and I tried the toothpaste for the first time. After using it for a few days, I began to have the skin inside of my mouth peeling off in strips. Then I realized how thirsty I was all the time and how I had the tiniest little rash-like blisters as well. When my husband began to complain as well, we stopped using the toothpaste and all the symptoms disappeared. A few months later, when we ran out of toothpaste, we began using it again and the same symptoms reappeared within days. The tube is in the trash. I would not recommend this stuff to anybody.

I've used Crest products especially toothpaste for over 20 years. In January 2012, the kids brought home Crest Pro Health Night Toothpaste from school after a dental check. So I thought I would try it since it was a trial tube, and everyone used it. I bought a larger tube that I and my boyfriend used for several months. I started waking up in the mornings with a dryer mouth, white film, & not any better smelling breath. I usually don't throw out a tube until it's finished just because I didn't see better results. After a few weeks I started having tingly numbness in my cheeks that would last a few hours after waking up.

My husband and myself were both using Crest Whitening. I soon began having white patches on my tongue and in my mouth that were very painful. I thought I had thrush and started using Nystatin, but it only got worse. Soon after, my husband started getting the same thing and we figured out it was the toothpaste. Both of us stopped using it and our mouths started to heal but it took 3-4 months. Please be careful using this product.

I started using the Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste in October as I began Invisalign treatment. My teeth have whitened over time; but before reading this, I thought all the bad side effects were a reaction to the Invisalign treatment, not the toothpaste! I wake up every morning with terrible breath and white film all over my lips. I thought it was some sloughing off of the Invisalign trays. Then, my gums have become really sensitive and beginning to recede. I've been on a flossing and cleaning regimen for 4 years to improve my gum health at the dentist and all of a sudden I'm flossing and brushing all day long to keep my Invisalign program on track and they get worse. Not to mention them being super sensitive and bleeding for almost no reason at all! I am so infuriated!

I have used Crest all my life. After Crest Pro Health, my mouth started peeling. My husband and I thought I was brushing too hard. I continued to use it and my hands started to peel and my skin would split open. I went through this for six months before I realized that Crest is doing this to my mouth. I stopped using it and my hands cleared up. When it got onto my hands, it was eating the skin off. Please be careful in using this stuff.

I just bought Crest Complete last week and since then, I have noticed my mouth has been getting more sore by the day. The past 2 days, the worst and so I got online to research why they would be so sore and saw all the complaints on Crest and people describing my exact issue! This was the only change I made in the past week. It feels like a burn on the gums, a rawness, sometimes almost like a tingly rawness. I knew it wasn't my teeth. As for the appearance on the gums, there is none, just the sensation for now at least. My question is that why aren't they pulling this product with all these complaints to at least test and check out before continuing to sell it?

After using Crest Pro Health for just one day, I burned the inside of my mouth so bad that I can't eat anything. My mouth is all red and swollen inside. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I don't know how it can be allowed to be sold. I literally got a chemical burn from this toothpaste.

Crest Pro-Health toothpaste brand was recommended by my dental hygienist. I have been using the enamel protection of this brand for many months. On the positive side, I have gotten better after checkups. However, finding this website about this product is an answer to my prayer. For a long time, I have had the sloughing of white filmy material in my mouth, but in ignorance, thought that was good sign (that the product was cleaning my teeth of tarter and bacteria). I also began the regime of using the Crest Pro-Health fluoride rinse after brushing. I have had severe dry mouth and throat almost from the beginning but never connected these problems with the Crest toothpaste.

After using Crest Pro-Health Night Time toothpaste, since last year, I noticed a gooey, mucous, stringy film that would cover my entire mouth. I would have to continue to scrap away the film in my mouth about 5 minutes after brushing. I thought perhaps it was just me, so I thought nothing about it. I did notice when I was using Colgate, there's no problem. So what do I go and do? I buy the multi-pack at Costco of the regular Pro-Health toothpaste. This Pro-Health that I've been using is so annoying. First off, the thing doesn't produce a lather so you feel like you're not getting the proper cleaning, but more importantly, the mucous thing is worse! It's embarrassing to have this film in your mouth and have to wait 20 minutes later to kiss your husband. I have three more tubes of this crap. After this, back to the regular Crest or only use Colgate and Tom's of Maine.

Upon using this product, I noticed a white, stringy, mucus substance in the corners of my mouth. At times, I would also feel a slimy substance on my tongue as well. When removing it, it appeared to be same substance as in the mouth corners. I went online and researched. I noticed many other users possessed same problems and, worse. Since discontinuing both the Pro Health toothpaste and the mouthwash, I no longer am with the problem. Crest should definitely be "removed" from the shelves and no longer offered to consumers. I'm totally annoyed and quite dissatisfied with the product. Something should and must be done!

Pro-Health Gum - Well, let me first start out by saying that I started using this toothpaste because I thought it was good for the gums and mouth. I used to chew tobacco but quit. I thought it was me because I used to chew, but I also am feeling these side effects of this toothpaste. It does feel like your gums are retreating and that white ** that comes off your cheeks freak me out. I quit chewing for my health. I didn’t know using this toothpaste would damage my health. If you guys will sue, count me in.

I found complaints on this site regarding this Crest 3D white toothpaste. I thought I was going crazy with the way my mouth was feeling (tingling, burning sensation, white tongue) after using this toothpaste for about 3 days, 2 times per day. This was last week and my mouth doesn't feel any better. I can't imagine a product like this could do so much damage. I don't know how to get any relief. I'm ready to contact the dentist and doctor today. The FDA approved this? I will also be calling the Crest phone number today to lodge a complaint. 1-800-959-6586.

Dentist gave me a free sample of this Crest toothpaste. My wife and I started using it and developed dry cracked lips. We hated the graininess and taste, so my wife quickly went back to something else; but I, being too cheap to throw it away, kept using it. It has been 2 weeks now and my lips have got worse and worse while my wife's quickly got better. My lips look disgusting. I look like a leper - ugly yellow dry skin peeling everywhere in tough chunks. It hurts like hell. I also noticed the other day a long, white, and stretchy jellylike string come out of my mouth. That freaked me out. I noticed dry mouth and throat really bad yesterday. And just today, I discovered all of these other complaints and the apparent cause. I contacted my dentist to let them know of these effects and this site with all the complaints. What a shoddy product. I just hope I found this out soon enough not to have any lasting problems!

First off, I'm glad I found this site, and elated I am not alone with this problem. I used this product two days ago. The first night, my mouth was tingling, and my gums were a little sore. The next day, I woke up and brushed again. Big mistake. My tongue started to swell and my taste was diminished. It got so bad I couldn't eat Easter dinner. Today, I woke up in excruciating pain with a sore underneath my tongue about the size of a quarter. The skin was peeling off and nothing could take away the pain. I broke my ankle, cut my Achilles tendons, and have had over 150 stitches. None of that compare to the pain in which I am now. I haven't eaten in a day and a half because the pain is so great. Even drinking water is difficult. My inside cheeks are peeling as well along with inflamed gums. This is after using it twice!

I rinsed with this garbage a couple of times over the weekend as I wanted to deal with garlic breath, but only ended up with numb taste buds. This stuff should be pulled from the market! I don't care what the FDA thinks. It causes taste loss.

November 2011, I started using Crest MultiCare whitening tooth paste. I have always used Colgate products, but decided to try Crest out. Within two weeks, I was in so much pain inside my mouth that I could barely eat, talk, or sleep. I work as a dental assistant for 7 years now and have never had any issues like this before in my mouth! I began getting little blisters on the inside of my lips and my mouth was so dry I couldn't drink enough water. I lost the ability to not only eat, but all sense of taste and smell were gone. The inside of my mouth burned. My tongue and gums have this horrible metallic taste in the morning and sporadically throughout the day along with this acidic burning taste that has left my mouth in shambles! My teeth literally feel like all the enamel has been stripped off of them! Extremely sensitive to everything! Not to mention that most of my maxillary teeth have lost some of the gum tissue attachment. My gums show signs of recession in some areas as much as a millimeter or more as if that acidic taste has eroded them away.

I purchased this product from Target about a month ago, but didn't start using it until 2 weeks ago. All I can say is the past 3 days have been horrible. My first thought was, it had to be the fresh pineapples my nephew sent from HI. Not! I remembered being able to taste the freshness of the pineapples on Sunday and Monday (No pineapples on Tuesday). Wednesday came around and my sense of taste was almost gone. The insides of my lips felt like rocks, my tongue is tingly and numb, there's a white film on my gums surrounding my teeth, and my throat stays dry. What is going on? I'm thinking to myself. Thank goodness my husband casually mentioned the fact that he was unable to enjoy any of his food because he had a bad taste in his mouth. He went on to say that his lips felt like sandpaper and his tongue was numb. This is when my mind sprang into action. The only thing it could be is this horrific toothpaste! I immediately got on the computer to find an answer which is what brought me to this site.

I was using Crest Prohealth Sensitive Enamel Shield toothpaste and Crest Prohealth Multiprotection Alcohol-Free mouthwash. I didn't know these products were causing this problem: in the morning when I awoke, I had a lot of dead cells shedding from the inside of the cheeks in my mouth, from my tongue, and from under my tongue. I would have gooey, stringy, almost mucus-like stuff in my mouth that I had to use a tongue scraper all over the inside of my mouth.

I used Crest Pro Health since January 2012. First, I noticed that gums peeled each morning. Next, I noticed that I continually had sores on my gums in different locations. Then in February, I experienced a sore on the left side of my gums and a 1-cm lump on the outside of my throat (enlarged lymph node). Doctor sent me for tests, but nothing came back.

Crest Pro-Health: I bought this toothpaste a while back now. Just now, I'm getting symptoms. I had been noticing how my gums were hurting lately. I thought it was because I started flossing more. The other day, I had weird sensations on my tongue and thought nothing of it. Today, however, my tongue started to tingle around the sides, and I could feel it swelling up. I have bad anxiety, and I'm sure this made the swelling worse. It felt numb and has been. I'm getting feeling now; it's been over a half-hour. Something must be done about the regulations on ingredients used in consumer products made in this country. It's just unethical. It's wrong.

I have sensitive teeth and asked my dentist before trying Crest 3D whitening toothpaste. He suggested I try it and gave me some cautions (stop using it if you see such and such). After just a few days, I started seeing these things (numbness, sensitive gums, sloughing of the skin inside my mouth), so I stopped using it. I waited a few weeks, used it twice and that's it. A couple of days later, my teeth were so sore it felt like I had braces on again, my gums were swollen all over my mouth, and I was starting to really panic until I remembered that I had used this toothpaste again a couple of days prior. It took 4 days for the swelling and soreness to go away. When I googled my symptoms, I found this site. Even with sensitive teeth, it's nice to know that my problems weren't isolated. My husband does not have sensitive teeth. He only used it twice and had tingling and sensitivity also. I know different people react differently to different things, but this was quite something. Needless to say, I am not touching this stuff again.

Wow! I just called Crest to ask if there is something poisonous in the Crest 3D Vivid toothpaste (mint). Well they said they never heard of anyone having a problem. What liars! Well I have been having mouth pain & random sore spots on tongue & mouth. I also have to continually spit all day. Well when I swallow, it seems I have lots of saliva because my throat makes a noise every time. I can't seem to taste anything and my sense of smell is way, way down. It does it non-stop. Well it gets 100 times worse at night when I lay down.

Crest white strips - My mouth, gums, tongue and lips are all red, swelling, cracking. I have a tongue that is white and never stops burning for seven months.

I also had trouble with the Pro Health and found this site before anything drastic happened to my mouth. I quit using it and changed to AIM multi-care and began having the same problems i.e. swelling in my mouth along the roof ridge-line. Then, my teeth began to feel loose. I stopped using it and started using straight baking soda which cleared up the problems then I switched to the children's version of Crest because my grandson is using it and guess what, I am beginning to experience the same swelling around the roof of my mouth. I am going back to straight baking soda and leaving off any and all toothpaste. Maybe, the health food store can recommend something for me.

Crest Pro-Health toothpaste - Last summer, I also bought the multi-pack from Costco. Recent cleaning at new dentist had caused some tooth sensitivity. I already had some gum issues. I had some mysterious burning of mouth and lips. At next dental visit, gums were worse in some areas. I had already stopped using the Pro-Health. I had been using some type of Pro-Health for many years. I found there is a difference in the type of fluoride. I found a basic Crest that uses sodium fluoride. All the Pro-Health have stannous fluoride at twice the amount.

I used this toothpaste for the first time nearly five to six months back. I purchased it after newly relocating to the US, thinking it’s a high-end toothpaste that people tell. Initially, I was using Colgate, which I was aware of since had used it in my country. At that time with the very first use, I felt a strong sensation in my mouth, which I thought that would be doing well because it’s strong and so well known with its ads claiming to be the best and dentist recommended it to their patients. I never took it in bad light even after experiencing all the things that I had never ever experienced before and was happening newly, which were bad and creating problems than rather providing solutions to teeth. I thought it to be working for the best and hence all the outcome.

I have been using Crest 3D toothpaste for the past 2 days and oh my goodness, I woke up this morning to brush my teeth and my tongue started to feel raw after I used this toothpaste. I almost fainted when I saw slimy stuff coming out my mouth, like skin. After reading the reviews online, I felt better. Honestly, I thought I was going to die.

I bought a multi-package of Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Care toothpaste from Sam's Club. The first thing I noticed was that the insides of my cheeks were sloughing off. I just thought, wow, this stuff is powerful. But over the last 8 weeks or so, my tongue has been really sore. I have been trying not to brush down the middle where it hurt the most, but it has gotten to the point where it is painful to eat anything. I can't eat hot foods, spicy foods, or even popcorn, because the texture of popcorn and potato chips makes my tongue feel like it's raw.

After using one tube of Crest Multi-care toothpaste, the skin on my gums is coming off in layers, my tongue is partially numb, and my sense of taste is very diminished. I have a horrible dry mouth as well. I will never use Crest toothpaste again! It took me a while to figure out the cause, but I seem to have a lot of the same issues as everyone is having.

The Crest multi-care toothpaste has caused dry mouth and swollen cheeks. I'm very angry about this!

I have been using the Crest ProHealth Total with fluoride since the end of December. I have now stopped using it. I have brown stain in between my teeth since I started using this product. I never had stain on my teeth before. This is absolutely unacceptable. This product is suppose to protect your teeth, not staining them. I have an appointment with my dentist to see if this can be fixed. But I shouldn't have to go to the dentist, this product should have had more testing! This is disgusting of Crest to put out a product like this and leaving it on the market after people complains.

The lid is poorly made. It is connected by only 2 little tiny pieces of plastic and they broke the first time I used it. The tube itself is a very thick slipper substance, which makes it difficult to squeeze out any toothpaste. Neither does it roll up. I have used about 1/2 of the container, but it keeps getting dry as the lid does not stay on. The toothpaste is okay, but your packaging should be changed. I have also used the little gadgets that fit over the end of the tube that helps roll the tube, but your container was too thick to get the gadget on. These comments are to suggest that you redesign your packaging.

I started using Crest Pro Health toothpaste in 2005. I used this brand until 2007, and experienced a stretchy "slime" that would come off my bottom teeth/mouth several times a week. I discontinued use after 2007, after looking up possible causes for this stretchy slime, but by that point, the damage had been done.

My mouth has been injured by using Crest toothpaste and it won't heal now. I'm living in misery now for over five months. The inside of my mouth peels and the tissue has become soft and itchy.

I had burning gum sensation for months after using Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouth wash. I stopped the toothpaste and the burning sensation went away. I used this product for at least a year before it started. I am not getting the horrible reactions as other people on the website. But now I think about it. I also had dry mouth and dry cracked mouth and lips. Everything went back to normal when I stopped the toothpaste. I continue to use the mouthwash with no ill effects, but I am not going to buy another bottle.

I started using Crest Pro Health a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely hate it. The taste is horrible and as you're brushing your teeth, it doesn't thicken up like most toothpastes. Instead it gets really watery and you feel like you're just brushing your teeth with saliva. It also leaves a weird aftertaste in your mouth and I've definitely been experiencing dry mouth.
