Crest Reviews

After using Crest Pro Health gum protection toothpaste, my mouth began shedding its lining. Like a chemical burn, it is peeling. Just awful. It has made my mouth very sensitive, and it is peeling the inside of my lip and cheeks.

We began using Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste and Mouthwash about 8 weeks ago at the advice of my dentist. Right away, I noticed the metallic taste and dryness it left in my mouth. About 2 weeks after beginning daily use, I noticed an increase in canker sores. I didn't think anything of it as we are really trying to eat better and everyone in the family has increased their fresh fruit consumption. Then I noticed I had lost all sense of taste and smell, but I attributed that to a severe sinus infection. Next I noticed excessive sloughing of skin in my mouth. I thought that was weird, but it wasn't painful or bleeding so I didn't think it was a big deal. Then about 2 weeks ago my lips started burning excessively and seemed extra dry.

Started using the product. I developed sores under my tongue. When ever my tongue came into contact or brushed against my teeth, it was painful. This happened whenever I eat, or sometimes drank. My gums even started to bleed when I brush.

I began using Crest Pro Health toothpaste in mid January 2011. I didn't notice at first but my wife noticed mood swings and an increased irritability with me. Toward the end of the month, a small bump appeared on my rear, which was alarming but I did not relate it with Crest Pro Health. By the first week of February, I was using the Crest Pro Health product 5 times a day, brushing religiously after every meal or snack. Although I didn't notice at the time, my bump on my rear had grown to a small tail and my wife noticed that I actually began to breathe fire, much like a dragon of sorts. This became a problem during sleep, causing us to invest a tremendous amount in smoke detectors and flame retardant bedding. I have since discontinued the product. The product, to my dismay, began to slowly transform me into a dragon. This created tremendous stress at work, including alienation from social peers and intimidation by anti-dragon coalitions.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a serious burning on my tongue and gums. My taste buds were extremely flamed red and felt like sand paper! I could not brush my teeth for over a week as it hurt like hell. I finally went to doctor and they treated me for thrush. I knew that wasn't correct and the medicine they gave me did not help. After a few days, small blisters in my gums began to form and under my tongue! Since I stopped brushing my teeth and rinsing with mouth wash, I cleared up after about 7-8 days. I thought maybe I burned my mouth bad on something I ate.

An allergy has developed from using Crest Vivid Whitening Toothpaste. I had to seek medical attention as I have had the symptoms for 6 months.

I recently purchased Crest Pro-Health toothpaste about a month ago. Shortly, after my mouth became dry at night, gums bleeding and receding, teeth very sore, blisters in mouth, and skin peeling off the inside of my cheeks. I finally thought to see if there were any complaints with this toothpaste. Wow, 14 pages of people with the same problems I have and they were all about Crest Pro-Health toothpaste.

I have been using Crest Pro Health on and off for a while. Recently, my tongue became swollen, and literally red and raw where I can not eat anything salty or spicy due to pain. The skin came off on my tongue and is very dry (almost like a cat's tongue -- sandpaper feel.) The roof of my mouth is raw and red. I have read numerous complaints about reactions and am throwing it out immediately and switching back to Colgate.

On 12/12/2010 at about 10:00pm, I went to Crest and purchased some items. On the way out, I was approached by a loss prevention guy in the store. He asked me where is that tape. It was actually rubber bands. I open my bag. Without checking my receipt or anything he walks away. He didn't even say I'm sorry or anything. I asked to speak with a Supervisor so I could file a complaint. The Supervisor was very rude and started yell, telling me to go in his office.I told him I don't want to go in that office.

After a few weeks of use, I noticed that about 10 minutes after brushing my teeth, white strings of mucus would gather and peel from the insides of my cheeks. I asked my husband if he noticed the same, to which he replied no, but it did dry his mouth out. A few more weeks went by with me dismissing this seemingly harmless result of use. Then I started to notice I was getting an extremely dry mouth and lips.

I have been using pro-health Crest toothpaste for just one week. When my mouth got extremely irritated and dry plus the inside of my mouth has skin peeling I got alarmed and I went on the web to find out more about it. I am returning it to Target where I bought it from and I will also print the complaints I read about from other people. Hopefully, they take it off the shelf. I am very upset and I hope that my mouth does not get worse.

I bought Crest 3D for my 16-year-old daughter. She used it for about 1 week, before we threw it away. She has chemical burns all in her mouth as well as all over her tongue. I had to take her to the dentist today for a special mouthwash to help her. She has cried to me for the last 3 nights. It breaks my heart. She can't eat and can barely drink. I have spent around $150.00 on medications for her, as well as over-the-counter pain relievers. All these for a $5.00 tube of toothpaste.

I purchased a tube of Crest Pro-Health toothpaste a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed the "grittiness" of the toothpaste, feeling as if it was really getting my teeth clean. However, I started having issues with numbness of my tongue and the feeling of the inside of my mouth being "burned" as if I had eaten something too hot. I honestly did not relate this to the toothpaste. I googled "burning sore mouth" and started to find all types of similar issues, fingers are pointing to the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and mouth rinse. I will discontinue use of the toothpaste in hopes that my mouth will stop being painful and sore.

I bought this toothpaste so I wouldn't have to use white strips. I started getting cankor sores on my lower gums. I didn't connect that it was a side effect of the toothpaste until my husband used the toothpaste and received an allergic reaction. Right after he brushed his teeth, his throat felt it was on fire. I told him to gargle with mouthwash-- big mistake. Made reaction worse (sodium fluoride). Took Benadryl for swelling, ate ice cream, drank ice water, gargled with salt water, and sucked on a cough drop before he was able to finally go to sleep. Never have we had a reaction before. Toothpaste went into garbage. Will go back to "old" toothpaste. Two days later, my husband's throat finally feels okay.

I started using Crest Pro Health mouthwash on my dentist's recommendation for tooth sensitivity. I have only used the mouthwash for 1 week and have lost my sense of taste. My mouth feels like it was burned and I have a terrible metallic taste in my mouth. I Googled Crest Pro Health and was amazed at how many similar complaints have been posted.

Switched to Crest Pro Health Mouthwash. After one use, I have sores all inside of my lower mouth. I am going to inform Crest of this and ask them to return my money. The sores have lasted for almost a week and don't look like they will be going away anytime soon. It is very painful. I am extremely disappointed to find out so many people have reported this and there hasn't been a recall of this product.

I have been using this toothpaste for a few weeks now. I have developed major sores and irritation on my tongue, gums and inside of cheeks. They feel like canker sores but more irritating with a constant burning feeling. I have had canker sores before and these are more annoying and feels different. I have been thinking what I ate over the past few days and am realizing that the only new thing I have done is changed toothpastes. On a while I decided to do a search online only to find a slew of complaints! Aha! Now it makes sense.

I started using Crest Pro Health about a year ago. At my 6-month check-up, I had a cavity. No big deal, right? Well, my second 6-month check-up, I had 4 more cavities! I haven't had a cavity before using this toothpaste in years!

I was not a brand-loyal toothpaste customer and would purchase whatever was on sale. Not anymore! I purchased Crest Pro-Health and it took me months to realize that it was the cause of my horrible mouth issues because it took a while to develop. I had burning and irritation as well as the skin on the inside of my cheeks peeling off and my tongue chemical burned and covered with painful sores. I had to see a doctor and was prescribed medication that did nothing before seeing a dentist who immediately asked if I was using Crest Pro-Health. Bingo! If dentists are fully aware of the awful side-effects of this toothpaste and it's plastered everywhere on the web about the potential health hazards--why is it still on store shelves? I've wasted time and money and had my health compromised all over a tube of toothpaste!

On the advice of my hygienist, I switched to Crest Pro Health products. A few days after I began using it, my tongue became very sore. I have little white blisters on both sides of the front of my tongue, as well as the tip of my tongue. The top of my mouth is sore. My mouth feels like it is on fire, and I have a very bad taste in my mouth. It took me a few days to even think about it being Crest, since it was recommended to me.

My dentist gave me Crest Pro-Health and I decided to try it. I used it as well as Aqua-Fresh Extreme Clean for about 5 months. I noticed my mouth would shed inside but I still was not sure it was that toothpaste. After a while, my tongue was really sore. So I switched toothpaste and tried Colgate Sensitive. The second day I used the Colgate Sensitive, my tongue starting bleeding and my gums sore. So, another tube of toothpaste to give away. I think I'm going back to old faithful, baking soda.

My 9-year old daughter brushed her teeth this morning and instantly after, had a large red ring around her mouth that was hot and itchy. Tonight, she again brushed her teeth to see if this was the problem and it was! Again, a red staining ring around the mouth, itchy and burning in throat.

Same as most here: Severe sloughing of cheeks and lips. Also, staining along the gum-line and in between lower teeth. The latter may be caused by the Pro-Health rinse, which I started using at the same time. Do not use either of these products. Who knows what long term damage they can be doing. I'm going to the dentist to have the stains removed.

I have been using Crest Pro-Health whitening toothpaste for about 4 to 6 months. I've always trusted and liked Crest products, but not anymore. This stuff leaves a bad taste, burns and numbs in the inside of my mouth and tongue, and worst of all, has increased the sensitivity of my teeth. I finally put two and two together and am almost positive it's the toothpaste.

My dental hygienist gave me the tooth paste and oral rinse 4 months ago after the cleaning session. I have been using the tooth paste and oral rinse since. At first, I liked the products because my teeth and gum felt cleaner. I did experience many symptoms reported by other consumers at first: tissue shedding inside my mouth around the gum, lip and cheek areas; constantly peeling and raw lips which I had to continually moisten with Vaseline; raw tip of tongue; occasional metallic taste; and raw burning throat.

I wanted to try the new Pro-Health Enamel Shield so I got it and started to brush and my mouth was on fire. Something is in the paste that lit my mouth on fire. I still have all my teeth and thought by using this, it would help. No thank you, I'll go back to Total.

I started using Crest Pro-Health Enamel Strengthening Toothpaste because of some teeth sensitivities I was having. I was very pleased after just a few days that might teeth were feeling much better so I decided to continue using the product. My husband was also using it. Over the past 2 months, I have been experiencing horrible issues inside my cheeks, inside my lips, under my tongue and at the back of my throat. The skin was constantly peeling off and leaving everything raw and sensitive and clear blisters would form, grow over a few hours to a day, then burst. Sometimes, I would get them at the back of my throat which made me feel ill and awful. I spent hours upon hours over the past month researching what this might be and only came up with the info that clear, liquid-filled blisters can form when there is trauma to the tissue inside your mouth.

I used Crest Pro Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste for one week. I then began experiencing pain in both my gums and the inside of my mouth. After one week, I noticed swelling in my lips after brushing. I had blisters on the inside of my mouth and the skin began to peel. I have used other brands of enamel shield toothpaste without any issues. I would strongly recommend this product be removed from store shelves.

At my last cleaning, the dental hygienist said that I should use Crest ProHealth toothpaste so I bought some. A few weeks later, my whole mouth was sore and my gums swollen. A rash around my lips and especially the corners of my mouth. I stopped using it and used an old toothpaste I had and the problem went away. Several weeks later, I saw the Crest and thought I wonder if it caused the earlier problems? So I've used it twice and I already have a rash in the corner of my mouth. After seeing all the complaints on this site, I don't think I'm alone! I will be throwing this out. The product should be recalled.

It is normal to have some air in toothpaste. The amount of air in the Crest Pro Health is outrageous—it is making fun of the consumer. I use Crest product for the last 20 years. Guess it’s time to change. I wish the government would to something about this problem. I paid for something I do not get.

I used Crest Pro Health toothpaste for a couple of months and my tongue, mouth and throat felt sore. My tongue was numb and I looked online to see if anyone else was having the problem and if it might be the toothpaste. I was surprised to find so many people having the same problems and the product is still on the market. I quit using it immediately about six weeks ago and the tip of my tongue is still numb and it is more noticeable when I eat or drink anything warm or hot.

I just now realized that my problem may be the toothpaste. I have really disgusting and stringy mucous and what seem like pieces of lining of my mouth that appear after brushing my teeth. For a long time, I thought it was the cleaning that was exposing crud in my mouth right after brushing, so I would rise again. Now, I have had what I thought was a sinus allergy, and a terrible sore throat. I sing in a chorus, and cannot sing, my voice is so rough and scratchy. I went to the doctor, and told her I thought I either had developed allergies, or I may have sleep apnea, which is making my throat raw every morning. Now, I just can't seem to drink enough water or tea to soothe my throat. The doctor gave me a referral for sleep medicine. Just now, I realized it could be the toothpaste. I have a chorus concert in two days, and I hope stopping use of Crest Pro Health will help!

After using this toothpaste for only a few days, I started getting this nasty stingy mucus sloughing off the sides of my mouth. After a week, my gums were inflamed and I was having trouble eating. I hadn't made the connection between the pain and the toothpaste until my husband mentioned it being the only change we had recently made. I am glad I have stopped using it. I still have pain, three days after using it, but it's getting better. Don't use this product!

I purchased Crest Pro-Health enamel shield toothpaste and it has caused me to lose my sense of taste and my mouth feels as if it has been scaled. I have discontinued the toothpaste but my mouth has not returned to normal. This has been going on for about a month now. The product should be removed from the market.

After several days of using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste the inside of my mouth felt inflamed as though I had eaten something very hot that had burned my tongue, inside of cheeks and back of my throat. Not realizing the connection with the toothpaste, I continued to use it. My mouth and lips became very dry, sores broke out at the corner of my mouth and I had a continual strange sort of metallic taste. I also felt a bit under the weather as though I had a cold or allergic reaction to something.

Began to use Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield toothpaste and noticed some tingling and discomfort of the tongue. I wasn't immediately alarmed until the discomfort became worse. My tongue became painful and developed sores as well as sloughing of the skin on the inside of my cheeks. I ended up having to see a physician because the pain became unbearable and my tongue was burning constantly. The Doctor put me on a steroidal mouth paste which is where I'm at right now. I can't really taste food and it feels as though my tongue was burned. I have had out of pocket expenses already and am not sure if I will have permanent damage to my taste buds.

Crest Pro Health toothpaste gave me an allergic reaction in my mouth. My husband and I bought a bulk of his toothpaste at Sam's. I didn't know it was the toothpaste until I went to my doctor. On the first day, it started off with a numb tongue and swelling of the lips. Then within two days, the inside of my lips were bright red with welts. They felt very irritated and dry. My tongue felt as if I had severely burned it with hot food. It also had a sensation as if I had glass cuts. If I would grind my tongue on my teeth it stung so so bad! The back roof of my tongue was very red and looked infected. And my taste buds were swollen.

My complaint is about Crest Pro-Health tooth paste. It makes the tissue from the inside of my cheeks and lips peal or slough off. It also makes my tongue feel tingly and sensitive. This product should probably be removed from the public. I'm getting a fed up with The FDA. Are they understaffed or what? They are letting to many products with problems on the market for the public. I'm beginning to feel like a guinea pig and I'm sure a lot of people are feeling the same way. I'm going to let my dentist know about this. The inside of my cheeks and lips are sensitive and peels.

I bought Crest Pro-Health toothpaste about 5 days ago. It advertised itself as an incredible product that sounded like it was the best thing for your teeth, besides a new set! But my mouth started getting increasingly raw and irritated. Last night, my mouth was so sore and dry and my tongue was numb. It actually looked and felt like my gums had receded slightly! I used a new toothpaste today, and while still a little sore, my mouth feels much better. I looked online to see if anybody else had complaints, and found this website with lots of them!

I began using Crest Pro Health two weeks ago after my dentist gave me the day and night formulas post-cleaning. Since then, my mucous membranes behind my lips have inflamed and I look like Angelina Jolie. My lips are red, burn and itch because of the inflammation. My husband has been using the product as well and has been complaining that he cannot taste anything since using the product. I thought we were crazy until we found so many other complaints on the internet. I'm going back to good old Pepsodent!

After using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste the first time, I noticed filmy, white "strings" in my mouth, which reappeared each time I brushed. After several weeks of use, the interior of my mouth became raw and sore. I ultimately realized the two were related; the stringy material was actually my mucosal membranes being shed from my mouth. After two days of non-use, my mouth is not quite healed but it is certainly recovering.

I have used Crest off and on throughout my life. After just finishing a tube of Aquafresh (one dollar off coupon), I bought Crest Baking Soda and Peroxide Whitening with Tartar Protection Fresh Mint. I have used this exact product in the past and had no problems whatsoever. After brushing my teeth one single time with this new tube, my lips cracked open and bleeds when I smile and they are very tight and dry. It's like they are severely chapped, and I thought that was the problem. So, I've been using Vaseline intensive care for lips and it helps throughout the day until I go and brush my teeth again and I didn't put two and two together until last night.

I purchased Crest Pro Health toothpaste on Feb 1st, 2010 and after using it once I realized inside of my mouth was peeling. I brushed right after dinner and the peeling went on until I went to bed which was about 4 hours later. The symptoms lasted till the following morning as things didn't taste right, then didn't feel normal for several days. Looking at the outer box in which the toothpaste came, I notice strange abnormalities in print job as if fraudulent.

The container of Crest does not state the country of origin. It states distributed by. Where are the product contents made, China?

I began using Crest pro-health toothpaste about a week ago. I started to notice a sore on the side of my mouth on the second day of use and it continued to get worse throughout my using the toothpaste. On the third day of use, my tongue felt like it was burning and my taste buds were inflamed. I also developed a white coating on the back of my tongue. On the fourth day of use, I had constant drainage and mucus everywhere and my previous problems had gotten worse. The next day, I brushed my teeth and my tongue to burn very badly. It felt like it was on fire. It then dawned on me that it was the toothpaste causing this. I immediately stopped using the toothpaste and two days later my mouth was fine.

I purchased a travel size tube of Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and used it after lunch for three consecutive days. After the first day, I noticed a blister on the back edge of my tongue. The second day, I began to get a numb tongue in addition to the painful blister. On the third day after using, my taste buds seemed to have been damaged. Nothing tasted right. I called my dentist to inquire whether the toothpaste might be a problem and dentist advised me to stop using. It has been four days since I last used the Crest and I am still experiencing a numb tongue, no taste, etc.

My wife and I began using Crest Pro Health toothpaste, and within 24 hours of using the toothpaste, both of us were experiencing sores on our tongues. The appearance of the sores was similar to pimples on the skin. We immediately stopped using the toothpaste. However, it took several days for the sores to subside. Both my wife and I have developed sore throats and sinus drainage. When we called the consumer relations number on the Crest container, we were told that no one else had complained of these problems.

We used Crest Pro-Health Night Toothpaste for several weeks and were very satisfied with it. Then our bathroom sink got clogged. First time in 20 years. We unsuccessfully attempted to unclog it. The plumber cost us $110. It took several more weeks of using Crest Pro-Health Night Toothpaste to figure out it was the culprit. We tried it in another bathroom and after several weeks, we had the same problem. We stopped using it. No more clogged sinks.

I have been using Crest ProHealth toothpaste for over a year. For the past 8 months, I have had problems which I attributed to sinus. However, after being treated for a long time for sinus irritation without any success, I tried to find out for myself what my problem was. I noticed that I only had problems when I went to bed at night after I brushed my teeth. At night, I could feel something draining and tickling in my throat which caused me to cough. So I would get up and cough up what was in my throat. The result was long stringy pieces of phlegm. I went through practically a whole box of tissue each night before I could clear up the problem. So I stopped using Crest ProHealth toothpaste and what do you know, my problem has been resolved. I have searched the web for others who have had problems with Crest ProHealth and it is amazing with so many complaints out there that this toothpaste has not been recalled.

I am a registered dental assistant in New Jersey and have experience with periodontal issues and soft tissue disease. I received a sample of crest pro health enamel shield toothpaste and tried it out. Needless to say, 2 days later, burning tongue, swelling of all mucosal tissue around mouth and stinging in lips. It has been 24 hrs and still not better. Very concerned about how this was placed on the market.

With all the filth and garbage that is on television,especially during family viewing hours, Crest finds it appropriate to spend their advertising dollars sponsoring garbage programs such as the aforementioned program "Operation Repo". The dialog in the program is comprised of one four letter word after another. Such lack of good taste on the part of Crest compels me to avoid all of their products until they upgrade their moral values.

After brushing my teeth with Crest on Dec. 13 at 8 o'clock am for about 10min, I noticed my right lower cheek on the side of my mouth began to swell. I tried applying a cold compress and rinsing my mouth with cool water, and that did not help. After five hours, I called the CVS pharmacy and explained to the pharmacist about the brushing my teeth with the toothpaste. He advised me to take a Benadryl for the swelling and/or Tylenol. After taking the Benadryl about three o'clock pm, the swelling began to decrease slowly. However, it's still apparent. This is ridiculous.

I have been having the skin from the inside of my mouth peel off. This was really freaking me out because I used to smoke and all I could think was cancer! This is not a sign however but when I searched the symptoms, I saw that this was happening to other people who were using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste. I have been using this product but never in a million years would I have thought that toothpaste would do this to me! I have also noticed my gums receding and I hope the damage is not too bad. I will be seeing my dentist right away and will no longer buy this brand. They really should pull it, there are just too many complaints!

I was brushing my teeth with a Crest Spinbrush pro toothbrush when I felt something funny in my mouth with the toothbrush. I didn't think about it much till when looking in the mirror, I saw some blood on my lip and the toothpaste coming out of my mouth turning color. I opened my mouth to find a slight cut on the inside of my lip. I looked at the toothbrush, turned it off and noticed that the top round portion of the bristle was ajar from the brush. I subsequently rinsed my mouth out with water, then re-rinsed with mouthwash to disinfect the lip.

I bought Crest Pro Health toothpaste, and within a week of use, I began to see brownish stains forming on my teeth. I have never smoked a cigarette or used any tobacco products. Also, I do not drink alcohol, and I do not drink tea or coffee more than once per week. These stains became increasingly prominent, almost a charcoal brown/black color by the end of the month. I went online to see what could be causing it and found thousands of descriptions like mine from users of Crest Pro Health toothpastes and mouthwashes. I went in to my bathroom to verify the brand and product line of the toothpaste I had been using. Lo and behold, it was Crest Pro Health toothpaste. I returned it to the store immediately and wrote a complaint, asking them to take it off the shelves.

I started using Crest Pro Health Toothpaste and within 2 days, my gums and the roof of my mouth started peeling. It leaves me trying to get the peel out of my mouth all day long. This is not what the Crest (TM) name is built on. I want to know if there are other problems that will arise later. Was this product tested properly?

After reading many complaints about Crest ProHealth toothpaste, I am having the hardest time understanding why it's not off the market or getting improvements. Maybe it works for some people. In my experience, the toothpaste peels off the skin of my mouth. I don't know if that is considered to be an allergic reaction. For some reason, I never got this with regular Crest, Colgate, Pepsodent, Aquafresh, AIM, etc.

After using the product noted, both the wife and I experienced mouth irritation. Additionally, placing the toothpaste tube in our medicine cabinet at the same location over months resulted in product leaking from the tube and removing the paint from the steel medicine cabinet. Contact me at the email above and I can provide a graphic picture of this. It does not seem to me that one should put the product in one's mouth if it removes paint from steel.

I used Crest Pro Health for a week, had a very dry mouth, very sensitive gums that I could not even floss. I work in a dental office. I mentioned it to a co-worker and they said they felt the inside of their cheek was sloughing off. We both stopped and now are back to normal. When a patient calls in with these symptoms, I ask them if they changed their toothpaste and to what, and then say to stop using and see if symptoms get better.

I began using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste several months ago. In the last few weeks, I noticed that my tongue was tingling and hurt. It felt swollen and any drink, food or anything that touched my tongue made it hurt. I noticed sores on the insides of my cheeks and the skin felt like it was being peeled off. Then, my neck started hurting. I could barely move my neck and I couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep. I felt like I had masses on the sides of my neck pushing down on the muscles of my neck. I was in a great deal of pain. I even tried going to a chiropractor twice a week, but I didn't get any relief. I knew something had changed so I didn't go to my doctor, I thought I could figure it out myself. Then I realized that it must be something I was doing different. It took about a month for me to figure out it was the toothpaste. I quit using Crest Pro-Health and switched to another brand. The next morning, my tongue felt better and so did my neck. I wasn't completely over the pain, but I could tell a difference. Just wish it hadn't taken me so long to figure it out. Why is this product still on the market? How can I complain to the FDA about this product?

On the evening of 6/29/2009, I brushed my teeth prior to bed with Crest Pro Health night. After getting into bed, I then started to feel severe pain and then started to feel something very slimy in my mouth. I then returned to the bathroom mirror pulling out long stringy skin, coming from my gums, lips and the inner parts of my cheeks. My gums are extremely sore, red and swollen. I then began to panic and called my parents right away. My mother then advised me to google complications with Crest Pro Health toothpaste, so I did. And with finding I was not the only one that had experienced this and all the complications, hurt and pain this product has caused to many, I was outraged. I have suffered from headaches, sore throat, face boils, numb lips, skin peeling off of my inner cheeks, gums & lips.This is not normal. Something needs to be done about this now.

About four months ago, I purchased Crest ProHealth toothpaste. I didn't know at the time why I was suffering from a continuous headache, lower and upper jaw pain. My teeth felt like each had a cavity, my gums, my tongue and the roof of my mouth were in so much pain that I barely survived each day. I had an MRI, saw a facial pain specialist, a dentist and my family doctor. No one had a clue what was happening to me. They put me on anti-seizure medication to block the nerve pain. By chance, I discovered a complaint blog about Crest ProHealth and it became very clear that was the culprit. I don't understand how this toothpaste passed the FDA process.

I purchased both the Crest Pro-Health toothpastes, morning and night formula. After using for about one week, I noticed that my cheeks were peeling. I was continuously removing stringly white skin. My lips became swollen and red, and burned very painfully 24 hours a day. I purchased every OTC lip medication that the local WalMart carried and none of them gave me any relief.

I started using this toothpaste about a year and a half ago. I noticed almost right away that the insides of my cheeks would start peeling approximately 30 minutes after brushing my teeth. I mentioned this to a friend that also uses the toothpaste and she has the same problem. I recently switched to the enamel shield variety (I have always used the clean mint flavors) and am also having the same issue with the peeling. I have only been using the enamel shield for about a week and already have a small canker sore on my gums and the right side of my tongue is really sore. When we went on vacation to Hawaii, I took a travel size of the Pro-Health and did not have the issue there. Was it the difference in the water or the size of the tube? As soon as we came back home, the peeling started again. My daughter’s cheeks also peel on the inside. Every morning, before I go to work, I have to take a paper towel and wipe the inside of my mouth to collect all of the stringy looking skin that has peeled. I have used Crest all of my life, and this Pro-Health is the only one that has ever caused me issues.

I used Crest Extra Whitening Mint Splash on 4/13/09. As I was brushing, there was a very bad stinging sensation (somewhat like acid) inside my mouth. The pain was very excruciating and the only relief that I got was to rinse with cold water for almost an hour. The inside of my mouth is red and swollen, especially my lower lip. I decided to google Crest and was very surprised to find all the complaints regarding Crest products.

I used Crest Whitening Expressions Cinnamon Rush flavor toothpaste last April 4, 2009. After using them for 2-3 days, I noticed that my lip became numb and dry. My taste bud was gone and I now have many sores in my mouth. I have never had a topical reaction like this before. I concluded that the toothpaste had caused this reaction. I got online and looked up allergic reaction to Crest and found this consumer list of complaints. I am not going to be using this crazy toothpaste ever again!

I have been using Crest Pro Health Toothpaste for some time. It causes a tingling, burning sensation on my tongue that I have kind of gotten used to. It has also caused a discharge in my mouth. At first it was odd - maybe some age-related thing that no one talks about? Then it became annoying, as I manually removed strings of white, filmy stuff from my mouth as surreptitiously as possible. It has lately become embarrassing in amount and frequency - almost continuous. I have to make sure I have a Kleenex handy. I was finally going to speak with my doctor about it, but had a dental hygiene appointment first. When I described this situation, my hygienist said she was stumped; often, it can be a sign of gum disease but since my dental records are excellent and have been for a while, she suggested I do more investigation.

I had been using Crest 'Vivid White' and 'Vivid White Night' toothpaste off & on for several months. The taste buds on the tip of my tongue became numb and looked as though they had been burned off- it was completely smooth. It burned, was sore and VERY painful when I ate, drank, or did neither. It became Very difficult to even speak because my tongue felt squeaky against my teeth and felt Disgusting! I seriously thought it was caused by the coffee I was drinking (flavorings?), or maybe the beef jerky I had been eating (sodium level?) or maybe it was salsa (jalepenos & spices?), even though I had never had those kind of reactions before.

I used crest pro-health (which should be called crest non pro-health), and it was almost like the inside skin in my mouth was peeeling off. It took me a week to realize that this toothpaste was poison. I also experienced blisters in my mouth and a soar throat. I thought I was a goner. This stupid toothpaste should be taken off the market.

I began using Crest Multicare Whitening toothpaste because I could no longer find the regular Crest Multicare toothpaste. Every time I used it, the inside of my lips felt like they had been rubbed with sandpaper. Pieces of skin from my lips would slough off and they felt puffy for hours. I also tried the Crest Pro Health and it did the same thing. I thought I was just an unusual case, but I have read many complaints about this, with some people having severe reactions. I am going to stop using it immediately, now that I know I'm not alone in my misery. No economic or physical damage, just discomfort for several hours after brushing.

One day after using this new tube of Crest toothpaste for three days my tongue swelled and broke out with a sore. The pain was so bad that I wouldn't talk or open my mouth. It lasted several days after I stopped using the toothpaste. I believe that the toothpaste has a poisoning agent in it and Crest should have to recall every tube. Someone needs to find out if Crest had a new factory make this and did not have quality control procedures. Pain, I still have the sore on my tongue after one week and it doesn't appear to be going away.

I purchased Classic whitestrips (tooth whitening). The product did not work. There is the # 1-800 on the box & they have a money back guarantee. After ringing for a long time it says all circuits are busy (several times, it took hours). When I tried to send an email by clicking the email tab on their website that requires filling out many boxes (I did them all), it comes back with a resopnse that says The email address you provided is already in the database. Use the browser Back button to return to the previous page to correct these problems- this response has nothing to do with them receiving an email that I sent them & whether or not I'm in the database is irrelevant. My contact info was input into the fields! P&G is required to keep track of what % of people who contact them complain.

I have been using Crest ProHealth for several weeks. My gums began swelling and bleeding when I brushed. I was in intense pain and visited the dentist several times until he determined that I was allergic to Crest ProHealth. By the time this was determined my entire mouth was swollen, I had horrible sores and was experiencing severe pain. I have no known allergies and I am a healthy person but for some reason my body was not able to tollerate Crest ProHealth.

THIS PRODUCT IS DANGEROUS and need to be recalled!!!

I used Crest Pro-Health Cinnamon flavor toothpaste. I have used other Crest products with no problems. I had allergic reactions that initially I attributed to some dried fruit I bought at the time. So it took a couple days before I realized that it was the toothpaste: swelling of cheeks, slight swelling of tongue, some swelling along the throat. A disaster. There are no side effects warnings on the toothpaste.

Crest's new tube will not fold upward with the ease of the old tube. And the top of the tube is much more difficult to use than the old nozel type. (Prohealth) Is there any kind of Crest Toothpaste that has the old container tube and spout?

I used Crest ProHealth toothpaste one night before going to bed and woke up the next morning w/extremely swollen lips and cheeks. The interior of my mouth had fluid filled blisters.

I am a healthy physically fit,18 year old male. I have had a clean bill of health , and do not smoke or drink. All I did is brush my teeth with Crest Extra Whitening Toothpaste. My gums swelled up so bad, and the pain was so unbearable that I had to go to the emergency room to find out what was wrong. The emergency room doctor told me gingivitis , however, I have had done and do brush and care for my teeth regularly. I have been so physically ill that I had to missed a day of school which I have never done in the past 4 years in highschool. All because I trusted that Crest would make a safe product.

I bought some crest whitening toothpase (with baking soda) and started using it two weeks ago. My skin started to breakout all over my body. I quit using it and tried to call Proctor & gamble. I cannot get throuh to them, all they have is recordings.

I have used about 3/4 tube of Crest Extra Whitening toothpaste. Yesterday, immediately after brushing my teeth in the morning (before eating/drinking anything) my throat and neck started to swell and go numb. It lasted a few hours but didn't go away completely. It happened again last night after I brushed my teeth, getting ready for bed. The swelling was much worse and swallowing was becoming difficult. It happened again this morning when I was getting ready for work, only this time my throat swelled so much I decided to go to the E.R. I told the Doc. what was happening and he immediately knew that I was having an allergic reaction to my toothpaste! I explained to him that it didn't make sense as I've been using this exact tube of toothpaste for over a month. He got to talking about how, when it was manufactured, it probably wasn't mixed thoroughly and that I may have been exposed to a high concentration of whatever toxin is in the paste. Makes sense. After reading multiple postings of the same thing happening to other people, I am not convinced that we are all having an allergic reaction as one would have to shellfish or milk. After all, toothpaste is made up of harsh chemicals that are advertised as being dangerous if swallowed (to all humans, not just the few with allergies).

I think Crest toothpaste is toxic. After having the tooth paste from my electric tooth brush flung to the back of my throat I spent another 10 hours in amazing pain and gagging. Today I have a very agitated throat and it is hard to swallow. During this awful experience 3 bottles of water were consumed to try to push the paste further down to the stomach however it only only slightly cooled the burn but did not come close to stopping the gagging.

I purchased Crest Pro-Health-- the toothpaste is excellent; the packaging is terrible. The lid does not stay on, and the product spills out.

I want to complain about the lid on the Crest Pro-Health tube. It is no good. The lid does not lock, and the result is a mess where ever you store it. My last purchase was four (4) 7.8 oz tubes from Costco. My wife was so upset with the mess that she threw them away. I love Crest toothpaste, but the lid needs to be fixed before I'll buy anymore. I have been using Crest for years. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I bought a tube of Crest (with Scope) tooth paste, and the side of the tube split open in my luggage, and I had tooth paste all over everything. It wasn't cut; it was as if the seam wasn't sealed. What a mess.

For 5 days after, I experienced throbbing and intense sensitivity to my teeth, gums and entire mouth. I also formed very bad canker soars.

I BOUGHT CREST PRO-HEALTH TOOTHPASTE CLEAN CINNAMON FLAVOR (LOT NUMBER 701255 EXP DE08) ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND STARTED EXPERIENCING TOOTH-ACHES, JAW PAIN, EAR-ACHES, AND A SEVERE SORE THROAT.

I started using Crest MultiCare (cool mint) toothpaste, now I have very Red, sore and inflamed gum's.....the whole mouth, I wan't to know what the hell I can do about this, and once I find out that this toothpaste has caused me this pain, I will be acting on it...Thank you very much.

When we cannot get any more toothpaste out of the top of tube, there is still quite a bit of toothpaste left inside the tube, which is wasteful.

I purchased the Crest Vivid white toothpaste and even after rinsing my mouth I would clean my face on a towel - the towel would become discolored. Yes the towel would look like it was bleached! I ruined about 5 towels because I thought I ruined them washing them w/Oxyclean. Not Oxyclean it was from the Crest toothpaste. There is no disclaimer on the packaging - NOTHING!

I just read two other people's posts about mouth problems when using this product. I have the same thing. I had burning pain when eating certain foods or even from my tongue touching my teeth. It was very painful. I could visibly see white and red painful areas on the side of my tongue where it is smooth.

My wife purchased a new Crest product --Multi Care-- that I had never tried before. I have been using Crest almost my entire life. In the first day that I used the product I noticed canker sores and redness in my gums. The second day I my tongue was swollen, my taste buds enflamed, and my gums were deep red and bumpy. It hurt so bad to brush my teeth, I quit brushing for a few days and struggled to eat or breath for another week. At night, I was unable to sleep comfortably because my tongue was closing off my breathing passages. My wife suffered through my heavily increased snoring like a trooper.
