Crest Reviews

We purchased Crest Pro Heath toothpaste back in October. I started to notice the inside of my mouth would peel, mostly under the tongue. The tongue would take on a funny flavor and smells would be off kind, a smoky metallic smell and a taste is the best I can describe. Meat would taste bad almost to the point rancid, though other foods would taste normal such as beans. I did not put two and two together until I did some research online. I found many complaints on the Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouthwash. I only did this research well after we finished up the tube of toothpaste. None of these symptoms occurred with my wife or son. So here I am now with dry mouth, bad tastes in my mouth, sore tongue and the constant smell of something I can not even describe. I have tried all kinds of home remedies, rinsing with vinegar to brushing my mouth with baking soda. These provide temporary relief (hours) for the mouth but not the smells. At this point, I do not know what to do.

About a week ago, I woke up to a complete loss of taste. The following day was not any better so I went to the doctor for a checkup and he said to me it was unusual for me to lose the sensation when I can still smell as the two sensations are related. After a week of this one night, I was tired and fell asleep without brushing (I know its gross) but the next morning, I noticed that I could taste slightly. Thinking that it would get better, I did not suspect at that time it could be the toothpaste. I had used the toothpaste and have noticed a tingling numbing sensation so I have stopped but have only improved slightly in the last couple of days of stopping the toothpaste, we will see if it gets better fully.

Inside of my mouth feels raw, dry and bad aftertaste. I’m completely dissatisfied with the product!

Thank God, I found answers here. I am new to the Consumers Affairs site. I was desperate for help and answers and having googled description of symptoms (in mouth) which then took me here and the rest is history.

I bought 3D White and I started to feel like a numb sensation in my tongue, and I suffer from anxiety attacks. Guess what, I freaked out because that’s how you feel when you have a stroke. But then I Googled it and I found out about this page. I even made an appointment with my doctor to have a physical. Well, what I can do now, just change the brand.

I've been using Crest 3D for about three or four months now. Since then, I've had a dry mouth so dry I constantly drink ice cold water and at times, allow the ice to melt in my mouth for dryness relief. I've also experienced painful gums. At first, I thought that I might have something sharp (like a piece of a chip or a popcorn kernel) stuck in my gums. So I flossed, but the pain did not go away. I tried the bacterial mouthwash and that didn't seem to be a solution. The most recent issue has been a sensitive tongue and a painful burning sensation when I brush. Tonight, as I brushed before going to bed, I felt the burning sensation again and decided to take a look at my tongue. It was white and was bleeding. I am scheduling an appointment with my dentist first thing in the morning to make sure, but I believe the source of my issue is the Crest 3D White toothpaste. I am very disappointed, I am a faithful Crest consumer and I thought that their products were very well-tested and engineered. I hope that the toothpaste isn't the issue and that I am experiencing something that can be easily resolved.

I had been using Crest for sensitive teeth for several years, then it changed to Crest Pro Health, but as a sideline, it was for sensitive teeth, rather than that being the main selling point. Recently, I noticed my mouth being extremely dry, and my gums are very irritated. I was even able to peel skin from my gums. Shocked that I was getting a gum disease, I made an appointment with my dentist to find out what dreaded disease I had. He asked what toothpaste I was using, and suggested I try the easiest thing first, change my toothpaste, as Crest just might be the problem. After my appointment this afternoon, I bought a new toothpaste, and then came home to see what I could find online regarding "sloughing of gum tissue", and found this site with all the problems with Crest Pro Health. My dentist didn't bash Crest, but after reading all the complaints from others with similar problems here, I can't wait to try a new toothpaste, and for my mouth to stop hurting.

Like many others, our family has used Crest toothpaste for years. Assuming a trusted name product we purchased Crest Pro Heath. In my opinion, P&G the producers have more than just marketed an inferior product that strayed from their track record. Every time I used this product, the inside of my mouth would peel! Not knowing the cause of this, I switched off the Crest Pro Health and guess what - no peeling. To prove the point, I used the Crest Pro again and within hours again, the inside of my mouth was peeling.

I recently switched to Crest Pro-Health mouthwash and toothpaste. I thought it was wonderful and was proud that I finally began using mouthwash everyday. After about a week, I started to develop extremely bad canker sores and went to figure that the mouthwash didn't help kill them at all. In fact, it irritated them. Also, since I started using these products, my tongue has been swollen and sensitive. Typically, I eat large quantities of spicy food and citrus fruits, I have never in my entire life had an issue with my mouth. I can currently not stand spicy or citrus foods because it hurts so ** much. I am completely restricted in what I can eat and drink. So knowing the only thing changed in my routine was these products, I did some research.

I started using Crest 3D VIVID toothpaste about a week ago, I was pretty excited, you know "whiten your teeth up to 80%!" Well, I noticed my gums started bleeding, maybe because I was brushing a little longer to get the full effect of the toothpaste. Now, my bottom gums have become noticeably swollen, never have I had anything like this happen to me before using any other toothpaste. Please don't use it! I am happy I found so many others having issues with this and not just me!

I bought a huge pack of Crest Pro Health at a big warehouse store. I thought it was such a great bargain for high end toothpaste. Well, lately, I've noticed that my lips are dried, peeling and cracking. I have never, in my 54 years, experienced this. I've been using balms, but nothing seemed to be working. I also noticed that right after I brush, I get a nasty film in my mouth and I'm very thirsty. It made me wonder if I had some dread disease or something.

I had very dry mouth, white burning tongue, coated white dry throat, and cracked lips. I lost taste buds and saliva. It happened in September. I had blood work done; all OK. The doctor thought it was thrush, but not so.

The skin was peeling off from the inside of my mouth. My gums were so sore that I had a problem brushing. I had sores underneath my tongue and along my gum line and my lips were peeling all of the time.

Do not use Crest Pro Health! As a woman with a history of issues with the medications I take and gum loss, I decided to use Crest Pro Health. For over a year now, I have suffered with gum irritation, bleeding gums, swollen gums, and extreme sensitivity to liquids. My dentist was so worried, he had me check my blood work, to make sure I didn't have auto immune disease, or leukemia. I am so angry that the company has allowed to continue putting Crest Pro Health on the shelves!

I have been using this toothpaste for about a month. For the past three days, I have had a numbing and burning sensation on my tongue and lips. I honestly thought I was having a stroke. The thought that this could be related to the toothpaste popped into my head. A Google search led me to this message board which horrified me. How can there be so many complaints and yet a product like this is still allowed to be sold? I hope these uncomfortable sensations go away soon.

I bought Crest toothpaste because of their 2 for 1 price, and immediately the brush lend on my teeth, there is a burning sensation, numb feeling, and my mouth feels dirtier, and after few minutes, a white thin film forms inside my mouth. Later, I had my skin peeling off from my chin, and sides of my mouth. What a killer toothpaste!

I am a dental assistant for the past 7 years. I have always used Colgate products. I ran out of the TP I was using and picked up a tube of Crest multicare with whitening back in October 2011. I started using it in the first part of November 2011. It took a couple of weeks but I started to notice discomfort in my gums on the upper right. Then slight movement in my pre-molars in this area.

My family began using the new Crest complete toothpaste, and noticed our teeth don't feel as clean. We have sores in our mouths, on our tongues, and two complaints of teeth sensitivity. The problem started as soon as we switched to this toothpaste. We decided today to throw the crap in the trash, and switch to a natural toothpaste. Shame on you Crest, for not spending more time, and research on your products, before releasing them to the general public. Shame on the FDA for allowing this crap to be released to the market. You know it is bad stuff. Surf the net. The stories are there for you to read.

I had been using Crest 3D whitening toothpaste and also used the 3D whitening strips. Sometime after a tooth extraction, my mouth began to feel dry. I used the latest dry-mouth mouthwash but did not get any relief. Shortly after, a metal screw was inserted for a tooth implant. The symptoms became much worse. It appeared to be thrush. My Dentist declared it was dry mouth and recommends Biotene products. Even with the Biotene, I got worse and developed a persistent cough. It felt as though this was moving to my lungs.

About 5-6 months ago, me and my family began using Crest 3D and Crest Complete. My husband was the first to come down with symptoms of oral thrush and I myself am now afflicted with the same symptoms after getting numerous types of treatment for oral thrush with no results. We are going to quit using this toothpaste and see if the treatment will work.

I started to use Crest Whitening toothpaste about a month ago. For the last three weeks, I have been having problems with dry mouth, wake up with sore throats and other ENT problems. I thought it was just because of the illnesses going around. This week, my tongue started to become numb. My lips are dried and cracked. My jaw and ears are sore from a possible allergy. All of the food I have eaten for the last few days have been bland and without flavor. Ranch was tasting like just mayonnaise. Spicy food did not taste spicy, and that includes red cayenne peppers. I also noticed that my teeth did not become any whiter, but rather dull and stained looking. I will no longer buy Crest.

I used Crest toothpaste. I have had several containers with air holes in the tube. I prevent using these and I end up throwing them away. Expensive!

I recently purchased Crest Total (I am a Aim girl, but there was a 2 for 1 sale!) and after brushing, my mouth would burn. I figured it wouldn't do harm because a quick rinse with water cooled it down. However, as I continued to use, the roof of my mouth became very sore and felt like it had been burned, and all saliva was stripped from mouth, leading to cracks/splits in the corners of my mouth. The nastiest part was that I would get this white build up on the roof of my mouth (what I consider as a form of scab), but it would slough off while eating, or if I intentionally scraped it off. Then, I'd be back to soreness and burning. It limited what I could eat because many foods burned it more and I lost the sense of taste for bland foods. So, I changed to Colgate Total, and the same reactions occurred!

I started using Crest Pro Health recently and noticed that it left a really horrible, burning after-taste and also left my tongue screaming in pain the rest of the night. And in the morning I had a film over my teeth and gums. It was gross. My friend told me I was allergic to it, which I believe to be true since all of that's gone away after using another Crest toothpaste. The culprit could be stannous fluoride, which was in the Pro Health, but not the other toothpaste that use sodium fluoride. Anyone have a similar experience? I've been reading some of these other complaints and they seem to be pretty similar to my experience.

I used the Crest Pro Health Mouthwash twice in 24 hours and I have lost almost all my sense of taste. The tissue in my mouth feels strange.

For the last month or so, I have lost the ability to taste, and the inside of my mouth feels like a swollen cotton ball. My eyes feel puffy, and my extremities feel like they're in a bath of cold water. All these symptoms started around the time I bought a new tube of 3D White toothpaste. I had bought a tube about a year earlier but did not notice any symptoms. Eating is no longer enjoyable for me, and I only eat plain oatmeal as everything tastes and feels the same.

After using Crest Pro clinical gum toothpaste for a month, my gums are swollen and looks like it's sloughing off. My gums hurt and burns. I'm so glad I've found this site. I will never buy any Crest products again. Please remove Crest Products from the shelves.

This is another update. Well, I went back to the dentist. He did root planning behind the top front teeth and front. where pain and swelling is worse. It has been 2 weeks and 2 days and I am still very very sore. IT's still swollen. I have soreness and pain in other areas but not as bad as behind and in front of the 2 top teeth. I am now really depressed and feel hopeless. The hygienist appointment before using the Crest Multi-pro Health toothpaste was very good. She was really pleased with my gums. This time after using this 'toxic' toothpaste, they can see how inflamed and irritated areas of my mouth is. So I have to go back to the dentist. I am doing everything to heal mouth, another plain toothpaste, salt rinses, not leaving food or drink in my mouth. I am scared about going to dentist as he may have to start cutting stuff out. My life has been a misery due to this. I'm not sure if I can deal with it much longer.

For the last few weeks, I have been having sensations of menthol being rubbed into my right eye, my right side of tongue, throat, lungs, cheek, face, shoulder, arm, hand, neck, insomnia, IBS, abdomenal spasms, fatigue, coughing, right ear pain, coughing up and spitting mucus, menthol burn goes all the way down throat and into lungs when I breathe in.

I am so glad I found this site. I have been suffering for the past two months with the driest mouth I have ever had. The whole lining of my mouth is dried out and I wake in the morning with a sore throat from the dryness. It is like I don't produce saliva anymore. It just dawned on me last night that it could be my toothpaste. Who would have thought it! I believe I started using the Crest 3D product about the time this all started. I will try baking soda or all natural toothpaste to see if it clears up. Someone also suggested lemons as a way to increase saliva production to help clear up this dryness. I am finding with many products-back to nature is the safest way to go. I will let you all know what I find in a couple weeks.

I have been using Crest 3D white toothpaste for about three months now and have been suffering from most of the same complaints as everyone else for three months. Until I found this website, I had no idea what was happening to me. For the last three months, my entire mouth has been severely swollen, from the inside of my lips, to my cheeks and even my tongue. Additionally, the inside of my lips have large patches of rough and sore skin and my cheeks have rough patches that are also extremely sore. There has been skin sloughing off of the inside of my mouth (cheeks, lips, gums and roof of my mouth) nearly constantly for the past three months, which is pretty terrifying.

Severe pain and agony. Crest needs to be stopped! I used it for one week and have never felt so much discomfort and emotional distress in my life.

I have been using Crest whitening strips for three days. I now have hives from head to toe. I have never had hives before. My teeth also hurt a lot, and my mouth is dry today. I have never been able to use Crest toothpaste; it has caused open sores in my mouth. Crest is awful. I can only imagine all the kids with a cut up sore mouth , and the doctors not realizing its Crest! Try Jason natural toothpaste, it's the only one that does not have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

After 10 days of Crest Pro Health gum, I started getting this non-stop thick mucousy, slimy feeling, oozing from my gums. I stopped the toothpaste. It continued for another week; I went to the dentist. They did X-rays, lots of questions that stumped the dentist. I actually think he thinks I'm nuts. Another 3 weeks and it seems to be getting better, but I still have problems.

I started using Crest D White Advanced Vivid Stain Protection (fresh mint) a few weeks before Christmas randomly. I felt a little burning & slight white film on my tongue. But I went out of town on the 26th and used my toothpaste in my travel bag until I came home on 1-4-12. The next day, Thurs, I returned to using the Crest brushing 2x per day. My teeth really need whitening.

I started having a rough, sandpaper-type feeling all along my gum line. I went to the dentist, and they weren't sure what it was. There is discoloration along the gum line, along with the sandpaper feeling. Does anyone else have this symptom after using the Crest Extra Whitening with tartar protection? I have noticed a lot of people commenting on the Pro Health line, but not about this one. I hope someone responds!

I used Crest 3D whitening strips three times. On the 5th day I awoke with extremely dry mouth sore, burning tongue, and dry cracked lips. I went to my doctor to had blood work done. All ok. The tongue also was coated white. This was back in September. All reports were negative. The same with the dentist. This happened back in September. Still not better. So, good luck Kathi of overland and all the rest suffering from this poison. I just can’t get help from anyone. Also, I’m starving to death as I can’t taste anything.

Same issue being reported as others. I was actually online this morning checking to see what this roughness, soreness in mouth, white spots could be and this came up. I just started using this product in the last 15-20 days and never had this issue before. Sore tongue - especially underneath, rough sandpaper feeling on the bottom lip, and a couple of "white" tops. Gums are way more sensitive as well.

No Stars. As with many of the complaints here, I could not figure out why on earth my mouth was burning? My gums hurt and my tongue was swollen with sores on it. It was so strange. I had never experienced this before and I realized that I had switched to the Crest Pro Health toothpaste. I didn't think that this could really be the cause but I was willing to try anything because my mouth hurt so bad. I went back to Sensodyne and by the morning my mouth felt a bit better. Within two days, my mouth was completely back to normal. This is unbelievable and ridiculous and for a big company like Crest to keep this on the market after so many posts of complaints here, is astonishing. I hope they make some changes as this is dangerous.

I put the terms "sores", "raw areas on tongue and cheek", "painful cracks in corners of mouth", "painful eating", "dry mouth", "bad taste in mouth", "loss of taste" all into one Google search then this site is the first thing that came up. This is all spot on! I am so miserable, and all because of toothpaste! I wake up several times a night because of the pain in my mouth. Shame on you, Crest! You know this is happening, and you continue to let people suffer.

I have a numb feeling, tingling top lip and the insides of my mouth feel as if they've been burned. After several days of being off the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste, it's still not much better. What is the ingredient that is doing this to everyone? If these many people are having bad reactions to this product, it needs to be pulled from the shelves.

Well an update. I went to the dentist who was really unsure as what to do. He said some people are sensitive to the ingredients. He says he wants to use anesthesia and go under the gums to scrape out what could be causing my gums behind my front teeth to be so sore and not healing after so long. He says it may not work as there may be nothing there! I am scared stiff. If it is this toothpaste which it sounds like it must be as I never had a problem with sores in mouth before using it then to undergo invasive gum treatment sounds like it may not work.

I have been using Crest 3D Whitening for about 2 months. I developed a sore mouth, extremely sore tongue that burns like I just ate hot peppers 24/7, and my lips always feel chapped more than normal for this time of year (winter). I tried probiotics and yogurt thinking it was thrush, tried different mouth washes thinking it was bacterial, nothing helped. Just this morning, a comment my past Geology teacher had made hit me.

I have been using the Crest Pro Health "Clinical" toothpaste, and ever since I started using it, I have had sore cheeks and mouth. This morning I looked further into my mouth and noticed that my cheeks and some spots on my gums have turned white. I went to my dentist and she has recommended me to go to a specialist for a biopsy, which I will do tomorrow. After reading all the posts here, I did call Crest and told them about my symptoms and asked if they have had any complaints.

I started using Crest Pro-Health clean mint toothpaste 4 days ago. Sores in and around my mouth have developed plus sore and bleeding gums. I never experienced this problem before. I will quit using Crest Products. There is a serious problem here that needs addressing. Hopefully, this problem will clear up soon.

I started developing canker sores again after not having them for years. I thought it was because I had too many cookies (sugar sometimes does it), but the canker sores wouldn't go away even after a long while of eating healthy. They did disappear when I was away from home. I finally realized it was because I was using Crest Tartar Protection Whitening toothpaste at home, the sores appeared when I ran out of my old Aquafresh tube and cracked open the Crest. I still have regular, unopened Crest Cavity Protection and Tartar Protection, but I'm not sure if I even want to try them.

I bought a few whitening products, including Crest Advanced Seal white strips. After using it, and that alone, that night the right side of my gums were intensely swollen. It doesn't hurt to eat really, I mean it still consistently hurts but no more to eat. It especially hurts to swallow for some reason or to talk. My teeth don't hurt nor are they sensitive but I use Dr. Collins brand restore toothpaste which I highly recommend. It hurts up into my cheek. I thought maybe I had a wisdom tooth coming in but instead of being in the back of my mouth, it was going to be in the center of the right side of my mouth. It's disturbing how many complaints and all the terrible things I've read on this site and that this poison is still being sold.

Oh my goodness, I searched in Google about my sore mouth symptoms, and this popped up. I have been using the Crest Multi-Protection Toothpaste, both night time and sensitive brand. Well, on and off for the last 5 weeks, I have had trouble with an ulcer/canker sore behind my front teeth. My gum between the top front teeth has started bleeding, and I am in discomfort. My gums looks strange above the top front teeth, porous-like and the ulcer is really bad behind the teeth. My doctor gave me an ointment, but I have to see a dentist on Wednesday.

I bought Crest Pro Health gum protection and have been using it for about a week now. The first day I noticed film, thick clear stringy film in my mouth. I thought it would stop after the first time. It kept happening every time I used the toothpaste. This was so bizarre that I had to look up the cause and found this website and was floored at how many people this has happened to. I just hope I don not have any permanent damage. It’s too early to tell I think, but am hoping since I will no longer use the product the damage is temporary. I will never use this product again. I’m losing so much skin inside my mouth it was really scarring me.

I began to use Crest Pro Health Clinical Gum Protection a few weeks ago. I noticed right away that my gums became sore as I brushed. A few days into using it, I noticed little sores beginning to form and itch. The insides of my mouth feel swollen, and the edges of my mouth are all cracked and bleeding. None of this began to occur until after I used this product.

It’s very alarming when your mouth, which I use every minute of every day, is affected by toothpaste and wash. It’s funny how the Crest company ran all kinds of sales on the Crest Pro Health! Why? I only bought the crap for the sale!

I feel so sick. I wonder if Crest is even the cause. It amazes me that so many are sick, spent so much money and Crest doesn't get punished at all! Refunds and medical bill payments are not enough. How long are US consumers going to take this crap? My mouth was sore, tongue was coated, and I had strings of white mucus. I had to keep wiping out my mouth. It is disgusting. My dentist said to use a mouth guard. My doctor said it was allergies. I was ready to go to an ENT specialist (I am on Medicaid, just so you know you are paying for all of this, for P&G). Now, I think it is the Crest Pro Health toothpaste.

I started using Crest 3d Vivid toothpaste. I had a bad sore/dry throat. I thought it was sinus or allergy issues. Doctor prescribed anti-biotic (didn't work). With one pill left and not feeling better, I saw a Crest 3d commercial and put two and two together. I stopped using toothpaste. All toothpaste used baking soda to brush teeth. I gargled with peroxide (rinsed well) and also gargled with Biotene (only mouthwash that did not irritate the sore area). It has been five months since I stopped using Crest 3d toothpaste and it’s much better (about 88%). I am not a doctor. See your doctor or dentist and decide what is best for you. Someone else with the same complaint said it took 6 months to completely heal. I can't wait! Hope this helps someone.

Crest 3d strips made teeth very white. Caused burning tongue, lips, throat, gums and slouging of sides of mouth. Stopped use after 3rd time in September but this awful problem won't go away .Why can't someone say how to get rid of this? Please anyone. Please.

After using Crest Pro Health mouth wash, my tongue started burning and looked like it had been injured. I could not taste anything for a couple days. That part is getting better but I have an extremely dry mouth. Lips have swollen inside; but after not using it for almost a week that has gone down. Lips feel extremely chapped although they are not. I have had a metallic taste in mouth which does seem to be getting better; but the whole situation has been scary and painful. I have gotten some sores on inside of mouth that almost look like burns. Those are healing but makes it painful to eat. Everything started getting better when I quit using the mouthwash, so I do believe that it is the fault of the mouthwash. What ingredient is it that is causing such misery and why are they still selling this product?

Poor. I purchased Crest Pro-Health (sensitive + enamel shield) along with Crest Pro Health Mouthwash and Crest Pro-Health at CVS because it is a trusted product and was on sale. I received a coupon from CVS for purchasing over $10 worth of the product. It's been two weeks. I woke up last night after brushing my teeth with Crest Pro-Health (sensitive) and my lip was swollen on the right side, inside was hard like I had been numbed by a dentist. I iced it off and on the remainder of the night. It went down some but is still very noticeable and kind of numb now.

I began using Crest Pro Health Cinnamon toothpaste several months ago. The skin was sloughing off the inside of my mouth daily and deep cracking and peeling occurred at the corners of my mouth. I finally suspected it was due to the toothpaste. I stopped using it and the sloughing has stopped and the skin at the corners of my mouth is in the healing stages.

I used Crest 3D White Strips. Results were burning tongue, lips and throat, and gums that won't heal. They made the teeth very white but so so sore. I'm going crazy, can't eat taste or sleep. My mouth, lips and tongue are so awfully dry. Please help. Why is my submission always failing?

I have irritated tonsils and soft tissue peeling off in my throat and cheeks. I have spent the last 4 months trying to figure out what is going on inside my mouth. I have had 4 doctor's appointments including an MRI of the sinus down to the throat. I am so glad I found this site because the doctors are at a loss as to what to tell me. They say I am fine but it feels like my mouth went through a cheese grater. I am on day 4 of not using the Crest Whitening & Tartar Protection toothpaste with Peroxide & Baking Soda. My symptoms have finally started going away. Finally, there's an answer to my misery and endless medical expense. I have a hard time understanding how a product doing this to this many people (image how many that have not posted here) can be on the market in the USA. I just sent my two remaining tubes of Crest to the landfill where it belongs.

I was using Crest vanilla mint toothpaste because the flavor was gentle and didn't burn my mouth. However, after about a month my gums started bleeding and I could see my gum line receding (yikes). Gingivitis perhaps? Nope! As soon as I stopped using the toothpaste, any and all problems stopped right away. Bad Crest!

I need to put "0"! Wow! I am so glad I found this site! I just came from the doctor's tonight after being diagnosed with "something viral". I was prescribed Z-pak & cough medicine with codeine! And, I find out it's because I've been using Crest Pro Health for Me because I ran out of my own toothpaste 2 weeks ago & used my son's back up tube.

Began using this toothpaste two days ago. Since then, my mouth is burning, skin is sloughing off the inside of it and tiny cuts appeared on my mouth insides. Lips are swollen. Mouth irritated, very painful. Eating and tasting food are difficult activities and not enjoyable. Mouth is swollen. Made appointment to get seen by my dentist.

I bought and used 2 different Crest pro-health toothpastes. After roughly two weeks, I got this non-stop pain in my outer lower and upper gums, right where gums meet cheeks meat, also under my tongue. It is very unpleasant without any signs of it going away. Don't ever use them! I am very, very mad!

I bought a tube of Crest baking soda and peroxide whitening toothpaste about 2 months ago, and ever since then, I have had open sores and splitting skin inside my mouth along with severe dry mouth. Eating anything that is "dry/hard" such as toast or English muffins hurts my mouth and anything anywhere near "hot" such as a tacos or barbeque sauce burns my mouth to the point of tears. I was used to putting hot sauce on my pizza, now I can't even eat a taco? It even hurts just to brush my teeth. I started brushing with baking soda about a month ago just to avoid the mint from the toothpaste burning my mouth, but every once in a while, about every 4 days, I suffer with the toothpaste just because the baking soda tastes terrible.

I purchased Crest Pro-Health clinical gum protection as I have started to have problems with my gums. After brushing with it, my whole mouth was on fire and it caused my gums to bleed. It was awful for me and I hope a child never uses it because of the burning it causes.

I bought Crest Pro Enamel 3 weeks ago hoping to stop any further damage from losing all my enamel during a hard pregnancy and having no dental insurance! So, I bought this toothpaste after some of my teeth have been deteriorating since the enamel lose, thinking it can’t do any harm, either it'll keep deteriorating at this rate or help! I was dead wrong! I have little cuts and sores all on the insides of my lips, cheeks, gums, and my tongue, most with white, almost see through puss looking film over them. It’s extremely painful.

Beware, Crest toothpastes and mouthwashes! Please share, urgent! I recently bought a tube of Crest Pro-Health Sensitive + Enamel Shield, which made my teeth so excruciatingly painful that I have not slept in 3 days. It has also given me agonizing pain in my ears, gums, tongue and throat, an awful headache and I hurt all over! My teeth hurt so bad I wanted to pull them out myself or rip my head off to make them quit hurting.

I recently purchased Crest's Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection as well as their Pro-Health Multi-Protection mouth wash. After about a week of use, I've developed a thin, white, burn-like patch of tissue on the inside of my mouth on my lower lip. The skin, or tissue, is sloughing off! I thought for sure something awful was happening to me, that I was developing oral cancer or something God awful like that. But then I realized, I'd just purchased new oral hygiene products. I will be making my own natural toothpaste from now on. Absolutely unacceptable crest!

I have been suffering with this for 3 years. The most dry, cracked, splitting, swollen and so painful lips in the world along with swollen tongue. With a dry mouth, I was going crazy. I went to doctors that gave me creams and told me to take b12. I even bought creams, chap sticks of every kind. I even changed my make up twice! I went to one more doctor and he told me to change my toothpaste. I was in shock. I have used Crest Toothpaste since I was a kid and I had just went out and bought another tube.

I have used Crest Pro Health/Sensitive toothpaste three times. Each time, I've had mouth tissue slough off. Also, my teeth did not feel clean. It’s very disturbing!

I really wanted to put no stars but the site said I had to rate this. My actual rating is no stars.

I got the Crest Pro-Health Cinnamon toothpaste and I started developing a metallic taste in my mouth. I looked it up because I thought it was the result of a new medication I was prescribed. I actually stopped taking the medication because of the phenomena, but doing so didn't make the metallic/acid taste in my mouth go away.

I bought Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection around 3 days ago. I started using it and the inside of my mouth started peeling. Pieces of skin were sloughing off. I tried one more day and it was the same thing. My teeth and gums are very sensitive now. I will never use Crest Pro Health of any kind again.

I began using crest pro health about a month ago and started noticing a weird film/mucus coming from my gum line. I thought it may have been from a permanent bridge I have but it's been in place for over five years and this just started a few weeks ago. I started searching the internet for solutions and I am very happy I found this site because it all makes sense now. I can't believe such a trusted brand would produce a product that has messed up so many people and they are keeping it on the market without warnings or cautions. I will never buy a Crest or P&G product again. This is very disappointing.

My overall rate is zero stars. I started using the Crest Mult whitening with scope, about a few months ago. For the last 2 weeks my mouth have been burning, and it feels like the inside of my cheeks are burning with sores, and the tip of my tongue is burning. I did not know what was causing this burning. When I eat, it would hurt. At first I thought maybe it was too much acid juices or something, so stopped I drinking orange juice and eating apples, but my month still hurt. So, I thought what burns in my mouth, and I realize when I brush my teeth with the scope inside the toothpaste, it burns.

I was a regular user of Crest. I used the Complete and the Whitener kind. I brush my teeth twice a day. I had no dental problems whatsoever. For over 5 weeks, my mouth has burned. There were white sore places on the bottom of my gum. My lips are swollen. I thought it was thrush. I went to an emergency doctor because we are new to this area. He said it was not thrush, and then asked me what kind of toothpaste I was using. I have started doing some research and found that I am not alone in this painful situation. I want to join a class action suit. I am in trouble and feel that Crest should do everything possible to help me.

I have been using Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouthwash for the past 3 weeks. I am so glad I found this website! I have been experiencing soreness in my gums to the point that it hurts to eat. I haven't been able to taste anything in the paste 3 days and my tongue feels sore and swollen. I even have peeling on the inside of my mouth. I can't believe all this is due to using a "trusted" brand that I purchased to aid in the health of my teeth and gums. I will no longer purchase Crest products. I never want to go through this pain and discomfort ever again!

I have been using Crest Pro Health Clinical Gum Protection for about 6 months. I didn't really have any complaints until last week when I discovered that there is major discoloration between my teeth. It looks like my teeth are rotting. And now if I look closely at my gum line, it is discolored there too. I am going to my dentist next week and have him take a look. I am thinking seriously of filing a complaint with the Food and Drug Administration.

Crest Pro-Health mouthwash. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. So this was what happened to me and I drove ENTs, dentists, and one (1) oral surgeon crazy. Gastroenterologists are crazy and this is what it was? I will never purchase a P&G product again. Cleaning, mouth-care or otherwise. I will stick to generic baking soda made into a paste and brush my teeth with it like I used to. I am so sick of advertising jamming dentists who are getting kickbacks from suppliers. Where is this product or components of this product made? I sure would like to know the answer to that one.

Completely ruined the inside of my mouth, especially my tongue and lips. For days I have been dealing with a lot of pain and stinging and burning. My mouth feels like sandpaper and I have no taste buds. It's as if I have had the whole inside of my mouth burned by a hot liquid. The worst part is I'm undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. I started using it after my 3rd treatment and I kept using it blaming these problems on a side effect of the chemo (one I did not have after my first two treatments). Only after researching my problem online did this product pop up and I put two and two together. Shame on Crest. How is it still on the market?

This is about Crest Pro-Health mouthwash. I've used this mouthwash on and off over the last year. Each time I used it, I have lost sensation and taste in my mouth. My tongue becomes numb and my taste buds are ruined for up to three-four days. It felt like I've burned my mouth.

Unpleasant after taste after rinsing my mouth with Crest Pro-Health mouthwash. It lasted throughout the day. When I ate something, food tasted really weird. I thought this was normal, but then I decided to stop using it. Didn't like they way it made my taste feel.

I started using Crest Pro Health about 2 months ago. At first it just burned. My partner bought the Matching mouthwash and we have been using them both about a month. I don't use mouthwash as often because it normally bothers my mouth. But this has been terrible!

I've recently started using Crest Pro Health toothpaste. My mouth is killing me. First the inside of my cheeks started peeling. Then my lips started burning like they were badly chapped. Now my tongue and gums are throbbing with pain. This product should be recalled.

I started using Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash about four months ago after my dentist suggested that I start using a mouthwash after I eat. I started noticing dark brown stains in between my teeth. After googling "brown stains on teeth," I found tons of similar stories to mine on the Internet! I wish I would have known all this before I started using their products!

I have healthy teeth and gums and I am not allergic to anything. I don't normally use mouthwash. Three days ago, I bought the Crest Pro Health Complete Rinse Fresh Mint for the first time. After the first use, my right cheek and lower right jaw were extremely sore. The next day, after the second use, the same area became swollen and were very sensitive. I didn't use the rinse today, but the swelling has continued. Eating or drinking certain things seems to aggravate it even more.

I have used Crest toothpaste for years, but not anymore. I found the Pro-Health whitening toothpaste to leak from the cap, creating an enormous mess in the bathroom. What happened to the tried and true screw on caps? New is not necessarily better.

I started using Crest Pro-Health Mouth Rinse at the suggestion of my dental hygienist. After about a week or so, my lips became very dry and chapped. I do not lick my lips and use lip balm on a regular basis. I couldn't figure out what was going on at first. I then figured out that it seemed to coincide with the use of the mouth rinse. My lips were extremely dry and peeling; and I had to use lip balm or Vaseline every few minutes to keep them hydrated. They were very uncomfortable and unsightly. I discontinued the use of the mouth rinse a little over a week ago and my lips are now healing.

When I first brought the product, I didn't see any reason to not buy it until I started experiencing problems with my gums. They were swollen with a bump on the roof of my gums. It cause massive pain from a scale of 1&10, I would rate the pain that I was experiencing a 10. It has caused the side of my face to be swollen and caused me burning gums. I could eat nothing, my face and mouth was in a lot of pain and I didn't see on the box about any warning about this product.

After purchasing Crest Pro-Health Gum protection weeks ago, I noticed my mouth became sore. I assumed it might have been medicated and it would take a while to adjust. That was until literally chunks of the interior of my bottom lip started coming out. My bottom lip looks like it has been burned. I will never use Crest toothpaste again!

I started using Crest Pro Health about a month ago after receiving a sample from my dentist. Immediately following the first use, I noticed a white film on my gums and inside of my cheeks.

I was using the Pro Health toothpaste and it made my lips numb. Now, my lips have been burning so bad that I can't sleep at night. I thought they were chapped and tried everything. I am even putting antibiotic ointment on them now, thinking there is an infection. I just googled "my lips are burning off of my face" and found similar complaints pertaining to your toothpaste!

I have been using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and mouthwash. Since using these products, I had been suspicious that they were the cause of my inability to taste certain foods and make others taste bland or just bad. I've also had several abscesses on my gums. I see now that I am probably one of the luckier ones.

I was advised by my dentist to use a sensitive toothpaste such as Sensodyne. I was using this toothpaste for a few months when I saw Crest Pro-Health Sensitive + Enamel Shield. Considering that it is about $2 cheaper and the tube is larger, I thought I would give it a try. I normally love Crest products. After one day of using the Crest toothpaste, I noticed that the lining of my cheeks started peeling.

My teeth are overly sensitive to everything I eat since I started using Crest 3D White toothpaste. I started using it two weeks ago. But I have now stopped.

I have been using Crest pro health for several years per my dentist's recommendation.

I have been trying for weeks to figure out what was wrong with my tongue! I haven't been able to taste anything and there is a white coating over it, even though I have not been sick or using any allergy meds. I have peeling, white skin on the inside of my mouth, mostly along my bottom lip. Now I know it's the stupid Crest 3D White toothpaste I've been using! I have never had any cavities until recently, which I can now trace back to using this toothpaste.

I've been using Crest 3D toothpaste for under a week and woke up yesterday to swollen eyes and a swollen lip. Around the bottom of my lips was a red line of bumps where it felt like they had been burned. I took benadryl and it only got worse. My entire face is swollen and covered with an intense rash. It feels like someone coated my face with a burning chemical of some sort and the itching is unbearable.

Crest Pro Health toothpaste left lips & tongue with burning and numb sensation after 2 daily uses, which wasn't bad enough for me to have second thoughts; after 3rd use, I was also spitting out portions of my mouth's lining. Now after investigating, I'm very angry. I'll never use Crest anything again.

I keep trying to find the Crest toothpaste I used to use. Every time I use Crest now, my mouth and tongue become raw. It hurts to eat tonight. Under my tongue is especially painful.

I have been using Crest Pro Health for about two months now. I started having inside skin sloughing from the start. I thought maybe that's what it was supposed to do to help your gums and teeth, so I kept using it.

I have been using Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste for 3 months and I have developed canker sores inside my jaws. There has been a scab on my lip that has been peeling for over two weeks and all this started when I began using this toothpaste. I want to know if there has been a lawsuit filed, I will definitely add an addendum to it.

l like your new pro-health toothpaste but my family had a hard time closing the top. It is the first toothpaste that just runs out of the tube, making a terrible mess. I wish that they would change the lid or the way it just pours out--maybe a side mounter holder? I have lost, at least, two tubes and can't afford to buy your product, which I do like. Please call back, if possible.

I opened a new tube of Crest Scope Extra Whitening toothpaste and noticed that it left a minty taste that seemed to stay for a very long time with a tingle to my tongue. After a week, I have now got a constant tingling in my tongue, no taste sensitivity and my tissue on the inside of my lower lip is starting to peel. I thought I was nuts as my husband does not seem to have any symptoms but thank goodness I found this sight and see that there are many other people experiencing similar problems. I hope that there is a recall on this product soon, as we are now throwing out our tubes.

I too started using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste just about two weeks ago; I immediately started feeling dry mouth and lips, painful gums, and tingling mouth within hours of using the product for the first time. I also thought I was going crazy, but I realized it pretty immediately that it was the toothpaste since it was the only thing I had changed in my daily routine. The active ingredient for this toothpaste is different than all others. Instead of sodium fluoride it uses stannous fluoride, which is a tin based product. I suspect most people having these same experiences are allergic to tin. Why they are using this type of fluoride is beyond me; none of the other companies I looked at do. I went back to my old toothpaste, and I am already feeling a little better each day.

I used Crest Vivid toothpaste one time 7 days ago. The following morning, I had a very painful ulcer on my bottom lip that doesn't seem to be healing. My husband also developed several ulcers and many inflamed taste buds after using the product once. I am wondering if we got a bad tube of toothpaste--perhaps, it wasn't formulated correctly? At any rate, Crest really should investigate.

I got the Crest Extra Whitening with tartar protection and started to have a burning feeling inside my mouth and thought something was really wrong with me. I went to the doctors because my cheeks were red, puffy and hurt, and the doctor asked me if I had started to use anything new, and the only thing that is different is the toothpaste.

My husband started to have severe pain in the roof of his mouth on Sunday evening. He took a Vicodin that I gave him and got no relief. Through Sunday night, it got even worse. By Monday morning, we were in the ER. The ER doctor said he thought it was an abscess and sent us to the dentist. The dentist said, no abscess. I told my husband that it looked like he had burned his mouth really bad on some food. My husband said he is 42 years old and would have remembered burning his mouth with food. So they sent us to the oral surgeon. The oral surgeon said the x-rays are good and have burned his mouth on something. He sent us home.

I started using Crest Pro Health toothpaste because my dental hygienist recommended it. After two weeks, my gums are painfully sore, my mouth feels very dry despite drinking plenty of water, and I have a white slimy film on the inside of my mouth. I was about to make a doctor or dentist appointment, but I decided to first do a search on the Internet to see what this white slime in my mouth might be. I was very surprised to see that there are many complaints about Crest Pro Health products. I will stop using it and see what happens. I hope it improves quickly because this is painful and unpleasant!

I'm so glad I found this site.

My mouth feels like it is chemically burned. I can't taste and my teeth are very painful. I also had a filling chip out. I checked the bottle for a label or warning on the fourth day of using it because I had noticed my tongue started to burn and teeth were starting to hurt pretty badly. There is no label or warning on the bottle whatsoever. Until I researched it today, I had no idea what was causing it, and I am now sure it's this rinse. It all happened within 7 days of using the product. I have never had an adverse side effect to any product or medication and I do not have any allergies.

While I cannot be 100% sure, obviously, I believe my Crest Complete Extra Whitening toothpaste has been giving myself and my husband canker sores on the sides of our tongues. Neither of us are prone to canker sores typically, but we have both experienced more than a few within the past few weeks.

After using the Crest 3D, I developed a large lump on the inside of my cheek. It bulged out so much that it's hard for me to chew food. I will be going to a dentist tomorrow to see what's going on. If it's something to do with the toothpaste, I will be contacting a lawyer for my pain and suffering and dentist visit.

I am so glad I found this site and read the reviews. I thought I was losing my ever loving mind for months now. My husband and I have been using Crest 3D since it came on the market and now that I am to the point of losing my mind. I was browsing trying to find answers why I am suffering, so here it is, right in front of my eyes.

I used Crest Pro-Health, usually, I used the original Crest, but I bought the toothpaste and mouth rinse. For the past two days, my lips and tip of my nose has been tingling. The inside of my mouth is raw and my throat is about the same. I thought I was seriously ill (possible stroke, etc). When looking online for possible reasons, your tooth paste came up repeatedly. What is in it that caused this reaction? I brushed three times a day; this could have seriously hurt me.

I purchased a tube of Crest Pro-Health and started to notice that the skin around my mouth was peeling, my gums got very sore and swollen, and my lips have burnt marks on them. I did not know what was going on. I thought that I had eaten something with citrus as I am allergic. I went to an allergy doctor, went to primary doctor, and finally, when I saw my gums with a thick white coat, I went to the dentist.

I have been using Crest 3D toothpaste and mouthwash for four days. I can no longer taste anything. My gums feel numb. My tongue hurts. And my taste buds are enlarged. Needless to say, I stopped using it today after finding other comments online regarding these products.

After using Crest Pro Health, this product has caused peeling in the lining of my mouth and sores with ulcers. The product is not fit for human use.

I brushed my teeth with Crest 3D Vivid White toothpaste once on Saturday evening, October 1, 2011. I ended up in the emergency department with hives spreading over my body including my eyelids, face, neck, and trunk. I have written the company to find out if there were perhaps any metals in this product, as I am allergic to nickel. I am on my 5th day of steroids and anti-histamines. When I pulled the tube out of my shelf this evening, my fingers started to burn. What is in this product?

I too am having some of these symptoms. My tongue is raw to the point that it hurts to eat, let alone brush my teeth. And since I am a messy brusher, the corners of my mouth are also in bad shape. No more Crest for this girl!

I'm submitting this complaint for the Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection antiseptic oral rinse. The use of this product has led to an adverse reaction in the gums and tongue. Within two days of use, I noticed that my tongue has become extremely sensitive to contact with just about anything. Any kind of food would cause a stinging sensation to the tongue, as if it were spicy, while salty foods cause a more painful sensation. At first, I thought this was a one-off occurrence possibly, because I didn't rinse off the mouth-wash properly the night before. However, I took extra care to rinse thoroughly with warm water with my next use. The condition appears to have worsened. I woke up with my mouth feeling extremely dry and the tip of my tongue feels burned. There's swelling in my gums. And the number of canker sores appears to be increasing by the day. I've never had a problem like this before. It's an utter disaster! How did Crest ever approve this?

The inside portion of my mouth is sloughing off and I have swollen taste buds! I am Linda of **, and I can assure you that I am no dentist and have not been paid to come here and post this complaint! I bought the Crest ProHealth and 3D whitening toothpaste by Crest 2 weeks ago and the inside of my mouth is sloughing off. If I could post a photo, I would show you!

My experience is the same as others have described. After using the Crest 3D White toothpaste for a short period, I felt like I had chemical burns in my mouth. I had painful lesions or ulcers on the insides of my mouth and on my tongue. It cleared up after I quit using the toothpaste. Just to make sure, I started using it again once my mouth was healed and I felt the same side effects all over again. I couldn't eat and drink much of anything because of the extreme pain and swelling. I have even lost a few pounds because of it. Not a fun way to lose weight. There needs to be some kind of warning on the packaging.

I have tingling in my lips, a line of bumps inside my lower lip, canker sores throughout my mouth, loss of taste at times and white film that comes off from inside of my lower gums/front lower lip. This has been a horrible experience for almost 2 years. I have spent thousands of dollars on doctors, prescriptions and acupuncture. The emotional factor has been terrible, I have had no idea what was wrong with me until I found this site and realized that I have continually purchased Crest pro health at Costco, for this time. I am so shocked that the reviews of this go back to 2004 and Crest leaves it on the market, causing people thousands of dollars and unbelievable emotional stress and trauma.

I have been using Crest Pro Health toothpaste for several months now. I am glad I am not the only consumer having these problems. I noticed I would have phlegm come from the back of my throat after brushing. I would also have dry mouth and I just discovered recently that it looks like the roof of my mouth is peeling off. This is an awful feeling. It feels like I cannot swallow at times.

I used Crest Pro-Health one time and it had a terrible reaction in my mouth. I lost tissue from both sides of my mouth, got sore bumps on my cheeks, tongue, and the back of my mouth. It had left me unable to eat anything except soft, bland food.

I have been using Crest Pro Health toothpaste for about 2 weeks. Since I started using this product, I have noticed that chunks of skin are coming off of the inside of my mouth. I am also starting to get an ulcer inside my mouth. I am going to discontinue the use of this product immediately now that I see I am not alone. I am planning to call Crest tomorrow to complain. My husband, however, is not having the same problems. So, it doesn't seem to affect everyone the same way.

After seeing the commercial a few times, I decided to try the Pro Health toothpaste. It said it could rid gingivitis after "X" amount of days. That was about 2 or 3 months ago. After only using the toothpaste for a few days, I threw it away! The insides of my cheeks were raw and my teeth actually hurt. Since then, my entire mouth, all around my gum line, top and bottom, is nothing but sore! I feel like I have an infection underneath my gums and it won't go away!

First, I would like to say thank you to all of you who have posted your problems with Crest. I thought for sure that I had some sort of illness like cancer once my lips and gums swelled up and started peeling. Luckily, I, too, googled my symptoms and thankfully found this blog. I had been using Crest Extra Whitening with Tartar protection for several months. During this time, I had been having problems with skin sloughing off on the inside of my cheeks. My tongue was mottled and my dentist diagnosed me with geographical tongue and said it was most likely caused by spicy foods, etc. My whole mouth felt sore and burned. I stopped eating spicy foods and salty foods (even though I didn't eat a lot of salty foods in the first place) but the problems persisted.

I noticed mucous-like 'threads' in my mouth as I opened and closed my mouth while talking. I would wipe it away with a tissue and see what looked like mucous and/or mucous membrane. I thought perhaps it was due to the lipstick I wore, not the toothpaste. I was given a tube of Sensodyne and used it in place of my usual Crest. The problem was resolved. I bought a tube of Crest Pro-health and all hell broke loose! Now I have mucous threads, a coated white tongue, canker sores, dry mouth, and exceedingly bad breath.

I had bought a bunch of Crest Pro Clean Mint toothpaste and mouthwash (with coupons) about 8 months ago and I really liked it, so I have been using it exclusively. I started having mouth problems about 2 months ago. Swollen lymph node or salivary gland (doctors can't agree), very dry mouth (mostly the lower half), strange taste in my lower mouth walls, swollen inner mouth wall (lower half), swollen tongue, neck pain, jaw and ear pain. I have been to 5 doctors now which included two different types of antibiotic and sticking a camera in my nose and down my throat. They want to do a CT scan soon because they have no clue what is going on yet. I had the idea that maybe it was dental related so I searched Google with my symptoms and found this site with all these complaints. It never even occurred to me that my problems might be my toothpaste and I still have a hard time believing it, but I am going to see a dentist and stop using the Crest Pro brand to see what happens.

I developed a huge blister on the inside of my gum. I thought it was from eating something hot but couldn't recall doing so. I went to my dentist, was put on antibiotics and had my teeth cleaned about 10 days later. That was about a month ago.

This is about Crest Prohealth toothpaste. I started using Crest prohealth toothpaste the other day. I woke up yesterday and I could not feel my teeth and my jaw anymore. Also, when I brushed my teeth my gums started bleeding. This has never happened to me before. This product needs to be off the market as soon as possible.

My tongue hurts and it is burning. The sides of my tongue has large red bumps and hurts. I can't taste very much and it hurts to eat or drink. I couldn't stand it any longer and I have to wait until October 1 to see a doctor due to insurance reasons. I went online and read all of this about Crest. I am shocked because I just started using Crest plus Scope. I immediately switched toothpaste and am beginning to feel somewhat better. I still have no ability to taste and my tongue is still red, but it hurts less. I am disgusted with this product and will never buy Crest again.

Me and my husband have been using Crest 3D Whitening toothpaste and Crest Multicare toothpaste this year. For a while we had both started experiencing symptoms but today we both figured out that it had everything to do with these two toothpastes. I had been getting severe dry mouth, the inside of my cheeks were rough and my lips were dry. I got big blisters in the back of my tongue and I thought I was just going through something and eventually it would go away. Just the other day a piece of my back tooth fell off. I couldn't believe it, a chunk of my tooth fell off. I'm only 23 and I'm healthy. What the heck is going on? I freaked out.

Started using Crest Pro Health Whitening and my gums started peeling. I will never use this product again. You would think they would take these products off the shelves with all the complaints and problems it's causing people.

I brush my teeth 2 to 3 times a day and floss every day. In January, I had my regular dental cleaning and checkup. I'm 52 years old and the hygienist probed the depth of space in my gums; the spaces were 1s, 2s, and 3s.

In July, I began using Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouth rinse. About 6 weeks later, I began experiencing some sort of reaction. Initially, the skin inside my cheeks sloughed off. This was the first 4 weeks. On 9/11, I woke up with a burning, itching inside. My mouth coupled with swelling and pain. I visited my physician twice and she could not figure it out. During this time, on 9/12, I had my teeth cleaned. The hygienist commented on the severe brown stains between my teeth. I drink 1 cup of coffee per day, one cup of tea, maybe during the week, and no red wine or soda pop. They spent the majority of my visit scraping. Two days ago, I googled the brand and type of toothpaste and found this site. After discontinuing the use of these two products, over 24 hours ago, my symptoms almost totally cleared up. I think a warning or at least side effects should be listed on the product.

I have been using the Pro health mouth wash and the pro health whitening tooth paste. I stared noticing my tongue was turning a white color, and swelling. Also, sores have formed inside my mouth and on my tongue. It has become very painful to talk and eat.

I used vivid white strips from Crest to make my teeth white. My fingertips where I touched the strips have dried out! It's been days and no cream or amount of soap scrubbing has helped to get it back to normal. I am thinking of going to a dermatologist soon.

99% of the posts here and on the world wide web are **! They are complaints posted by dentists! They don't want you using this great whitening product because then, they can't overcharge you for their overpriced equipment and fees! Trust me, it's true! Look at most of the cities, you know most of them right? That's no accident! These dentists have a degree and money. "Money doesn't care who owns it".

My eyeballs fell out because of 3D toothpaste. I am so happy I found a place where others experience the same eyeball problems. The 3D toothpaste works. That's excellent! My teeth have never been whiter. What a stupid sue-happy society! They are trying to make a quick buck!

I used the Pro-Health toothpaste and mouthwash. My tongue became swollen and had a type of metal tasting coating on it and my lips. My lips burned and swelled and I lost the taste of all foods. I also had sores on the gums, inner mouth and lips. I have been suffering with a great deal of stomach reflux pain and burning in my throat and stomach along with a persistent cough.

I had issues after using Crest 3D white also. After using this product, I had many blisters form all over my gums.

I used Crest Pro-Health for one month and it was terrible! I can't believe what I am reading about this product. I never review products but I am in a lot of pain and, like others, googled "welts on roof of mouth." This is where it took me. And I have been using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste for a month. I have used Tom's of Maine natural toothpaste for a long time (because all of the other products I use on myself and in my home are natural) but I was talked into using Pro-Health by a few people and I liked it until this week. I can't eat. Welts are all over the roof of my mouth and throat that worsen with hot foods, using a straw for some reason and trouble swallowing. Back to Tom's, I go. I hope that the pain stops soon. It's Day 2 of not using the evil toothpaste.

I used Crest Pro-Health - Clinical Gum Protection and Crest Pro-Health Complete mouthwash. I've been using the toothpaste for a couple of months. I noticed dead tissue coming off my cheeks at first. But I wasn't sure what was causing it. After another week, I developed sores along my gum lines and under my tongue. Also, I have a metallic/salty taste in my mouth and eating most foods feels like acid in my mouth. Searching all the symptoms online led me to this website. I stopped using these products today, so I'll update if/when the symptoms clear up.

I went on vacation and used the travel-sized Crest Pro Health toothpaste for a week. I got extremely sick after four days that I thought it was the flu or a cold--but I had no fever. When I went back home, I ran out of the Crest Pro Health toothpaste and started using my regular toothpaste, Crest with Baking Soda. Suddenly, my cold/flu symptoms went away. However, I did still use the Crest Pro Health mouthwash after I came home and I now have developed sores on my gums and had some fillings chip. I am going to the dentist on Wednesday.

My throat hurts. I have sores on my tongue and gums and the roof of my mouth and tongue are numb and tingling. I thought something was seriously wrong with me, so I just Googled "roof of my mouth and tongue is numb" and this website turned up. Unbelievable! I ran upstairs to check on my toothpaste and sure enough, I too am using Crest Pro-Health Whitening that I bought from Costco in a 3-pack. I've been using it for about 3-4 weeks.

I purchased a tube of Crest Complete Multi-Benefit Whitening with Scope. For the next week, I continued to use it but my tongue got sore, it's as if you burned your mouth on pizza or hot coffee. I could taste nothing. I used it for 5 days and then we went to our vacation home in Arizona and I used a different toothpaste. All discomfort went away. I returned home and used the Crest again and there it was again. I now have bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, raw tongue and a ton of mucous in my throat, and my nose feels really dry along with chapped lips. Crest needs to get their act together. If you see all the complaints there has to be something wrong with it. Shame on you Crest.

I always had healthy gums, tongue and lips. Two months ago, I bought Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste Radiant Mint. After using it for a month, I started to feel burning sensation on my tongue and gums. Initially, I thought it was the cinnamon gum that I was chewing. I stopped using the gum. However, the sensation continued. My lips started to get very dry. Finally, after two months, I realized that this might be due to this new toothpaste. I googled it, and was very surprised to find other people also complaining about this product. I will not be using it anymore, and I hope that my mouth will go back to normal--no burning, no dryness.

After giving my father whitestrips to try, he experienced a shortness of breath. After explaining what had happened, I realized the days when I felt a shortness of breath were also in connection with using whitestrips. I never used them daily (thankfully), only on occasion. My shortness of breath lasted the better part of the day each time. Buyer beware - the whitening solution can do more harm than good! Also, I was required to rate my overall experience (above) as one to five stars, I was not allowed to leave this blank. I had to select one star to post this complaint. I would never endorse this product after having such reactions to it. Zero on the product, zero on the "stars" ranking system!

Mouth burns from Crest Pro Health toothpastes and unusual taste when using Crest Pro Health mouth rinse. My lips are now dry, tender and developed several freckle-like spots on the outside and one larger, dark one on my top gum. The insides of both of my lips are irritated and cannot stay moist. My mouth and throat are dry all the time. Now, my breath has changed, gums have began bleeding and developed tiny bubbles, pits and tender areas. When my youngest teen child and I used these products, they burned our mouths.

I was halfway into my 2nd tube of Crest Pro Health Toothpaste when I got a large bump inside my cheek and noticed that my mouth, tongue, and gums are burning. I also felt like my teeth were changing. Upon closer inspection of my teeth, it appears that they are translucent and they are very sensitive. I believe my teeth have been compromised.

Oh my goodness! I am so relieved knowing that I have finally figured out what has been wrong with my mouth these past 5 and a half months! Thank God I have found this site for I had gone to doctor after doctor and dentist after dentist asking them why the inside of my mouth felt like it had some sort of chemical peel, why I had canker sores and why my teeth were turning yellow and had receding gum lines.

I used Crest Pro Health toothpaste two times and immediately started feeling side effects from it. Not only did I have a bad taste in my mouth, my tongue became numb as well as the inside of my mouth. My taste buds enlarged and it burned to use mouthwash or anything acidic. I went to the doctor and they confirmed that I am having an allergic reaction to this toothpaste. It feels like the burning sensation when you burn your tongue on something hot and I cannot taste anything. I will never use this toothpaste or any Crest products again.

I ran out of my regular brand of toothpaste and ended up trying one of the few travel-size samples that my dentist gave me on my last visit. It was Crest Pro-Health and I immediately hated the taste and texture of it.

After using Crest Pro-Health for one month, I started having a constant metallic taste in my mouth first. Then I had changes in my tastes and then came the sores, dry mouth, swelling, and chunks of mucus are coming out of my mouth. The pain has been horrible, and very debilitating. I hope this goes away soon.

When will the bleeding stop? When will I no longer have constant pain in my gums? I have never been more disgusted, disappointed or infuriated by a product before purchasing Crest 3D White Multi-Care Rinse. I have never had oral hygiene issues until after I used this product, and I only used it 3 times! It has now been 10 days since I last rinsed my mouth with this poison and my gums are still sore, swollen, and bleeding! I don't care about getting my money back, though if there is serious damage to my health, I will be looking into suing your company for ruining my mouth. At this point, I would just like to know when my mouth will no longer be in pain? When will the bleeding stop? And why is this horrible product still on the shelves? There are numerous sites of similar complaints about this product with some symptoms far worse than mine! It sickens me that I'm one of the luckier ones, I can still taste food!

I've been using Crest 3D white combined with Crest pro health rinse.

I went online and typed in some disturbing symptoms I've been experiencing over the past month. I was shocked to discover this website and saw how many people have been experiencing the same symptoms, and that they have been caused by the same new toothpaste I just began using at the same time I began experiencing these symptoms: Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid toothpaste! I, too, have a mouth that feels raw and sore constantly, ulcers on my tongue, dry lips, burning sensations when I eat. I haven't experienced the metallic taste but my sense of taste has been diminished.

My daughter began using Crest Pro Health Toothpaste two weeks ago. She noticed a metallic taste in her mouth. Then, her gums began to itch. It was followed by a rash that covered her entire mouth. Now, she has blisters on the inside of her cheeks, gums, tongue and under her tongue. Her mouth is covered with what we thought was a film, but have discovered it is the skin peeling off. She cannot taste anything, let alone eat. I sent her to the doctor. He prescribed Nystatin oral rinse. That was two days ago. She is still not getting any better. She discontinued the use of this product four days ago but is still experiencing the after effects.

I have been using Crest Pro-health mouthwash for about a week now and noticed that every time I spit, I see dead tissue and blue (dye) specks. I figured that it was supposed to happen. Then, I bought the Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection since I found out I had gingivitis, and guess what? It got worse. I continue to spit out dead tissue but it was bigger than before, and the other night, I had this strange feeling in my cheek and when I opened my mouth I see a lot of dead tissue on the inside of my cheek. **.

I have been using Crest Extra Whitening tooth paste and it has taken me several days to figure out that the toothpaste is the cause of terrible pain in my mouth. My gums, tongue, and lips are swollen and look like they've been burned by acid.

I had a sore spot along my gum line for weeks. After a close examination today, I discovered that it was the tiny blue flakes in the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste that was getting caught in my gum line. I'm done with this toothpaste. Besides the mouth film, the sore gums is just too much to bare.

I used Crest Pro-Health mouthwash and 3D White toothpaste. The toothpaste gave me sores in my mouth and made my gums bleed. The mouthwash made my tongue feel like I burned it. I could not taste my breakfast and it hurts until before dinner.

Crest Pro-Health toothpaste has caused gum problems for me and a peeling of the gums with redness and irritation. I changed medication thinking that was the problem, so I have used it for several weeks without realizing it is the cause of my problems.

I developed sores on my gums and it was very painful. How long, after discontinuing the use of the toothpaste, do the sores go away?

Have burning, raw tongue, as well as red, sore bumps on the sides, dry mouth and gum soreness for 10 days. Kept brushing with my Crest toothpaste and Googled the symptoms. Thought it was a condition called BMS that occurs in menopausal woman. Could it really be my toothpaste? I'm trying a different one to experiment. That would be horrible if I've suffered all this pain and agony over using bad toothpaste.

After using the Crest Pro Health toothpaste for a few weeks, I've come to associate the peeling in my inner mouth to the product.

I began using Crest Pro Health mouthwash because I saw a coupon in the newspaper and I figured it would be good to get a discounted yet trusted brand name mouthwash. This mouthwash is terrible. My tongue has been tingling all day, similar to the sensation of a burnt tongue when it comes in contact with hot food.

I switched mouthwash to Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse and I used it on the first night I bought it. The next morning, I couldn't "taste" anything—no spicy foods, nothing. Everything had a metallic taste to it. By the evening, I could begin to taste food again, though not very well.

I've been using Crest Pro-Health for three months. I've developed stringy mucous at least daily since starting this product, developed a permanent sore throat, and now have severe gum recession, which I didn't have prior to using this product. The 3.5-year-old cosmetic dental work was also severely stained most likely from using this product since my teeth were whitest lumineer shade until last week, and now they are dark yellow/tan.

I bought the Crest Pro-Health (invigorating clean) mouth wash last week and soon after began to break out. It started on my arms and moved to my back, chest, forehead and eventually my legs.

I just can't believe everything I am reading. I typed in swollen gums and hurt mouth and tongue in my search for help this morning and the first thing that came up were all these complaints about Crest Pro Health toothpaste.

I have been using this product for months because my wife bought a 5-pack of it at Costco. I keep telling her how much I dislike it, but given that I work 65-80 hours a week, I don't do a lot of shopping. Tonight again, I brushed only to get a sore yet numb tongue (much like when you burn it on something) and excessively dry throat and sinuses. After drinking water and applying Vaseline, I decided to finally do some research, which led me here.

I am stunned after reading all the other complaints about Crest Pro-Health products. I have been using both the toothpaste and the whitening rinse. My mouth has been numb, tingly, and the taste buds in my mouth seem to be inflamed, raised up, and red. Also, my mouth has a white film in it and a metallic taste. My mouth and lips are very dry as well. I thought I had thrush so I paid to go to a doctor and was given a prescription for thrush (the doctor just looked at the white on my tongue and prescribed me a prescription which was very expensive) but that did not help the situation.

I want the taste of Coca Cola back. Tonight, I went to a family restaurant and realized my drink tasted just like Crest 3D toothpaste. This taste also occurs on foods. I realized that I have lost my taste and smell altogether. I constantly smell only the toothpaste. I have had a cold lingering since May 13, 2011. The cold finally disappeared August 4. I have not been ill for the last 3 years. Everyday since the cold started till today I

After my last dental cleaning I went out and bought Crest ProHealth Mouthwash (used previously, just fine, unless they now changed ingredients), and

I purchased Crest Pro Health toothpaste about 3 weeks ago. The same time my Doctor put me on a new medication. A few days after this, the roof of my mouth felt like it does when you bite into a hot piece of pizza and the cheese sticks to the roof of your mouth – peeling skin, and numb. Then shortly after that, I woke up in the middle of the night and my tongue, lips, and chin was numb. I immediately stopped taking the new medicine thinking that was a side effect.

Crest Pro health toothpaste or toothpaste with gum care is causing the insides of my gum to peel away in large pieces, like a chemical burn of some sort. I had a sore on my tongue and my gums are sticky.

I have been using it for two days. My mouth is dry and my tongue feels dry and weird. My sense of taste is altered and my breath is horrible about 20 minutes after using the rinse. I wish I could figure out how to make this weird tongue feeling go away. I’m glad to find that I am not the only one with these odd symptoms after using the Crest Pro Health line of products.

A few months ago I purchased Crest ProHealth toothpaste and mouth rinse. I mentioned this to my dentist and he said he tried it but that the taste lasted too long. Well, not only did it last long but today, two months after I stopped using it, I cannot taste anything and have sores inside my mouth. I poured it down the drain. What I would like to know from Crest, is how long I need to wait to get my taste back and the roof of my mouth unnumbed. I thought I was going crazy until I found this website and now am blown away. There needs to be some class action against this company. Taste buds are very relevant to our lives.

I landed in the emergency room twice with a serious allergic reaction - anaphylactic shock. I went to see a fine allergist and was tested for various things that we thought might have brought on the attack. Nothing we tested for (nuts, berries) turned out to be the culprit. I mentioned to the doctor that I got the reaction immediately after brushing with Crest whitening toothpaste with scope. He dismissed my suggestion that it was the toothpaste.

i switched toothpaste in may 2011i purchased crest whitening toothpast with scope in it from walmart after about two days i started breaking out with bumps in my mouth and burning over my skin i did not think about the toothpaste because i had purchased new perfumes that i normally dont use . my whole body was burning i was itching having out breaks all through the day after the first week i purshase benadrly it would releive the itching but it would come back so i went in to emrgency room one morning i woke up with blistewr in my mouth throat was sore could not hardly breathe the doctor told me i was having a allergic reaction to something i had to figure out what it is

I purchased Crest Pro Health whitening toothpaste; within three days of using it, I developed red gums, a white tongue similar to when you drink something hot and burn it, and the worst symptom was a swollen lower lip and burns all over the lip lining. The skin was peeling off within two days. I'd like to know why there was nothing on the box or tube referring to any side effects. I almost went to the ER after spending the afternoon at the walk-in. They were baffled as to what was wrong, and I was in a panic until I happened to read about others' side effects. I immediately went to brush my teeth to see what would happen, and it made my mouth ten times worse. Nice, Crest. Thanks a lot.

I am assuming that 1 star is the worst possible experience.

Thank you for your reports on Crest Pro-Health Care. I take medication that may cause tooth decay and gum problems. I am very aware of these side effects and take great care of my teeth, and am on constant watch for products that will assure me that I am doing the right things. The Crest name has always been a part of our family, feeling confident that they knew what was best for my dental health. We would only switch brands when my husband would do the grocery shopping, looking for the"deal" of the week. We always went back to Crest. Pro-Health caught my eye, and even my trusted dentist gave these away as samples. So, to keep up on my program, I began to use this product. Over the next few months, I began to have a burning mouth and my gums were receding.

My mouth has become exceedingly dry and swollen feeling --the inner cheeks. The action of eating has even made scrape marks against the inside of my lower lip.I have dry mouth anyway, because of having to have one of my submandibular salivary glands removed (because of a benign tumor), but this was much more than just dryness.

After using crest prohealth tooth paste, my tongue went numb & I developed thin, white strips of mucous forming throughout the day in my mouth. I was referred to an allergist who asked me what toothpaste I was using, and it turns out both she & her mom had the same reaction to this particular toothpaste! I have stopped using it and my symptoms have gone away, although my tongue continues to have some residual numbness still. I will never, ever, use this toothpaste again!

I purchased a tube of Crest Pro-health toothpaste due to the heavy build up of tartar, I get on my teeth, I have used Arm and Hammer but I am always looking for something new to try. I have to say, it did work on the tartar, I have never seen anything like it. It does have side effects, I began to notice a numbness around my mouth, my tongue surface was rough but like I said, it worked on the tartar and I continued to use it. I have an allergy to metal/nickel that is extreme, I suddenly started to notice that my hair was falling out, a lot.

This is a product complaint and I feel it should be pulled from the store shelves. I purchased Crest Pro Health Gum Protection toothpaste. Well, it has done everything but protect my gums. I thought I had a food allergy at first but now see that I have a chemical burn. It started with my lips swelling up. The skin around my lips became red with sore developing around the edges of my lips. Then inside my mouth, my gums are swollen and red. The inner lining of my checks are bumpy and peeling.

After research, found similar complains on the Web: www.**. Please be aware of it!

Approximately 3 weeks ago, I purchased a tube of Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste from Walgreens. For most of my life I have used Aqua-Fresh toothpaste, but after a dentist visit last year, I was told that my gums were starting to recede and that I should take better care of them. With that in mind, I purchased this product because I thought it would help me to do that.

I bought a tube of Crest Pro-Health whitening toothpaste and had a nasty experience with it. I had this slimy sensation on my teeth and in my mouth. My tongue felt like sand paper and I had these nasty strings of white mucous in my mouth that I was constantly trying to get rid of.

Pretty much the same experience as everyone else here (Crest Pro Health Toothpaste and Mouthwash). I started experiencing a slimy feeling around my teeth and gums. Didn't come on real fast after I started using the product so I didn't make the connection. Later, the burning around my gums and the slimy feeling got so bad I went to the dentist thinking I had gingivitis or something else and they prescribed me an anti-fungal which did nothing.

Am also having a problem with this toothpaste. Shortly after starting to use it, I experienced a tingling and numbness in my lips and tongue and a slimy coating in my mouth . It was quite scarey to say the least. I think the company should issue a warning about this side effect .I was quite scared until I found all these complaints from people experiencing the same side effects. I hope something is done about it.

I started using Crest Prohealth Gum Protection as of 04/2011 and my mouth is damaged. My gum has been bleeding around my tooth. Everyday a new area starts bleeding and the gum area is swollen and raw. It hurts. It starts bleeding without aggravation such as brushing, bleeding, etc. This product is horrible. I never had this problem before in my life. The ONLY product I've been using is Crest because I saw the fancy ad on TV of the promises to improve your gums. Well, it has damaged my gums!

I bought Crest Toothpaste 4.6oz plus. The seal was broken open, I didn't see mine till I got home. I think that is a hazard. They are not plastic wrap like the bigger ones. Anyone can put anything inside of them, so I think something needs to be done about this. I will no longer buy this product until something is done about this. So can you please let me know when this product is fixed. Thank you!

I started using Crest Pro Health a few months ago. It was new and I grew up using Crest. I started getting sores in my mouth, then the roof of my mouth kept peeling after about two months of that. Then, I decided to look into causes of this issue. That was when I saw these complaints and it all became clear. I have had severe dry mouth and swelling on the inside of my lips and infected taste buds. Now, I know why. I discarded the toothpaste and I will be informing my dentist of this situation. I called my sister to tell her about this and she has had some of the same symptoms. She has also had a serious problem of receding gums for she has used this product much longer than I have. We need to do something to get the word out so people will stop using this product!

My girlfriend used the crest pro health mouthwash for 3 days. The first time she used it, she had a burning sensation. Then, the burning disappeared, but things started tasting weird. It's been 1 day after she discontinued use.
