 How can Crest possibly mess up toothpaste??? February 24, 2008
Kristina Thompson (Omaha, NE)

I purchased a six-pack through the subscribe & save program--I have used both Colgate and Crest in the past (including Tartar control and whitening formulas) and was never displeased before.
When I tried this Crest toothpaste however, I found even the little that I ended up tasting to be sickeningly sweet. When I checked the ingredients list I was surprised to find sodium saccharin on the list--the chemical that is also marketed as "Sweet & Lo."
I checked other toothpastes that I do like and found that they also contained sodium saccharin. The reasonably explanation for my dislike of the Crest is that they used too much sodium saccharin in this formula.
Those who use sweet & lo or similar sweeteners may find this toothpaste fine. Those who are very sensitive to saccharin should steer clear. I am sensitive to it, and now I have no idea what I will do with six tubes of toothpaste. I'll probably end up giving them all away.
Other than my issue with the taste, the toothpaste seems to work well, leaving your mouth feeling very well-cleaned and fresh. I won't be able to use the toothpaste long enough to determine whether the whitening works or not.

The purchase of this item will be to place in our Shelter in Place Emegency Supplies. My decision to purchse this item was based on my previous experience and knowledge of the quailty Crest carries with their product and that it is suitable and acceptable to a large audience. I need to have dependable products that I can count on when I need it. Toothpaste is no exception.
 All right by me !!! July 11, 2007

Hey, I can't literally promise you that you won't get any cavities or extra tartar if you use Crest Tartar Control Whitening Formula Toothpaste--but I will say that it's an important part of the total plan for keeping your teeth clean and healthy. Crest toothpaste freshens your breath; and Crest also does a good job of warding off cavities and tartar. This version of Crest contains "tartar blockers" to reduce tartar buildup on your teeth. Crest also has the overall effect of adding some whiteness to your teeth. Crest can also be used by children over age 2 if you supervise them as they brush their teeth.
The toothpaste comes out easily after you simply unscrew the top cap and gently squeeze the tube. It sticks well to the toothbrush so it doesn't slip off before you can get it in your mouth! It contains floristat which has sodium fluoride; this fights cavities and tartar if you brush your teeth two or three times a day. In addition, Crest is indeed sugar free. Crest sweetens the minty flavored toothpaste with sugar substitutes; and Crest is accepted by the American Dental Association as an integral part of an overall plan to keep your teeth healthy. Crest, of course, is NOT a substitute for regular and routine dental checkups; and the toothpaste manufacturer cannot literally guarantee that if you use Crest you will have cavity-free, pearly white teeth without any tartar. Instead, Crest reduces the chances of your getting cavities as it reduces the amount of visible tartar and darkening stains on your teeth.
If you have any questions about Crest or if you need to know more specific information, contact Proctor & Gamble, the manufacturers of Crest. They have a website and there should also be a toll free number on the tube of toothpaste.
Overall, Crest gives us one of the better toothpastes around and it is an important part of the total plan to take good care of your teeth. Brush with Crest after meals to immediately reduce your chances of getting a cavities or excess tartar. I am very impressed with this ADA approved toothpaste and I recommend it highly.
Excellent product February 24, 2008

I honestly think toothpaste is like soda, you're either a Coke or Pepsi fan, or Colgate or Crest fan and never a waiver happens between the two. This Crest is nothing short of awesome. It does a marvelous job on the tartar control and freshens your breath at least until lunchtime! Great stuff, been using it for years, and have better dental checkups as a result of the less tartar. Quite frankly, I'd use anything to keep from having that dental scraper on my teeth any longer than necessary! Highly recommend!
 A Good "Entry-Level" Toothpaste, But There Are Better September 12, 2008
James Koenig (Minnesota)
It must be stated that Crest makes a very good toothpaste. It has the ADA seal of approval, has fluoride to help strenthen enamel, and has low abrasiveness. It is made in a pleasing variety of flavors and has additives that reduce tartar formation. That said, it lacks Xylitol.
Xylitol is a natural sweetener that the human body (and bacteria) cannot metabolize. Thus, there is no extra sugar for diabetics, and there is no sugar for the bacteria in the mouth. What is even better, is that bacteria ingest Xylitol and since they cannot metabolize it, they die off, thus lowering the amount of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. There are several toothpastes that have Xylitol in them, but the leader in the field is Spry toothpaste with fluoride. Xlear Spry Spearmint Toothpaste with Xylitol (With Fluoride), 4 Ounces As a dental professional, I have been recommending Spry with fluoride as the toothpaste of choice. Spry has a singluar drawback in that it does not have a tartar preventative added to it. So, if you have a tartar build-up problem, alternate brushing with Crest and Spry and you have the best of both worlds!. (As a dentist, I recommend that people brush 3-4 times a day. If you brush 4 times a day, brush with Spry twice and Crest twice. If you only brush twice a day and you really want and need the tartar preventative, Spry makes a chewing gum that has Xylitol in it that you can chew mid-morning and mid-afternoon (between brushings), and you still get the benefit of Xylitol.Spry Spearmint Xylitol Chewing Gum 100 Count
