Package/product is not tamper proof
I am confused. When I click to write the review the product is call Crest Pro Health Max Cavity Protection. The box and tube does not use the word Max. The other issue is the lack of tamper proof packaging for this particular toothpaste. The packaging in the store is a cardboard box with no glued tabs. The tubes of toothpaste do not have the foil seal like the samples the dentist office provides. The single tube box has glued tabs. Other flavors come shrink wrapped in plastic. Why is this three pack not tamper proof?

We know how important it is to have a sealed toothpaste, and want to help. If a toothpaste comes in a cardboard box, it typically will NOT have a foil seal. The cardboard is sealed at the end flap. We offer many versions of our toothpastes, including Max Cavity Protection, and a general Cavity Protection toothpaste. If you have more questions, please call us at (800) 492-7378.

Please bring it back.
I agree with other reviewers, please bring back the original. I have a horrible toothpaste allergy and this was the only toothpaste I could use. You've changed the formula and now my mouth cracks and bleeds when I use it. I've been desperately trying to find a replacement and have spent over $100 on other brands trying to find one. My mouth is in so much pain, now I dread brushing my teeth. Why do brands do this? There's a million different variations, is it that terrible to have a basic paste without all of the "extra artic blast mint plus pro" nonsense?

We're very sorry that you're experiencing mouth irritation when using our Crest Pro-Health Cavity Protection toothpaste. While we extensively test our products for safety and know they're safe to use as directed, individual sensitivity to a product’s overall formula, or a particular ingredient in the formula is possible. We recommend that you discontinue use, and our Crest Team would like to learn more details of your experience, so we can further assist you. Please give our Crest Team a call at 1-800-492-7378 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday – Friday.

Is this one still available?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my crest, cavity protection, regular paste. I used my last tube, I have not been able to find it at the store, actually four different stores.. Have they discontinued this exact toothpaste? I do not like the gel or the green mint or the one with scope or a whitener. Please let me know where I can purchase this in Minneapolis Minnesota. Thank you for your time.

Stop changing things already
I too get extremely tired of the products I use changing. As one reviewer says, from emailing the company she found that crest cavity protection plus is the same as the crest cavity protection. But I had to come to this site to find out and this is not the first place I looked for the answer. Please just leave well enough alone and stop wasting our time.

Cavity Paste-Good/Cavity Paste Plus-Disgusting
I used to use Pro-Health Whitening, tasted great, but according to some responses by Crest on this website they added an "Amino Acid Technology" to make the stannous fluoride or something more effective and the flavor is now disgusting. Because of this I switched to Crest Cavity Protection Regular Paste, same thing I grew up with and tasted great, now I can't find it in stores but there is a Crest Cavity Protection Paste Plus and now it tastes like crap. Was the amino acid that was added to the Pro-Health Whitening added to the Cavity Protection Paste?

We understand that the preferences of our consumers can vary, and we do our best to offer a wide variety of toothpastes in the hopes that you will find the perfect one for your oral care routine. We are disappointed to hear that you are not enjoying the flavor of our Crest Max Cavity Protection Paste, and we will share this feedback with our team. While some of our pastes have had the amino acid technology added to them to improve their performance, this paste does not contain that technology. We would love a chance to assist you with this further, and invite you to give our team a call at (800) 492-7378.

Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Crest products in our house. I use the whitening toothpaste and strips and boy do they make a difference. This toothpaste is perfect for in between brushing with the whitening toothpaste.

Best One, Not harsh
This is the only toothpaste that doesn't burn my mouth. The other "upgraded" ones have chemicals that don't agree with me along with many other people.

Reaction to the toothpaste
I was using the basic Crest toothpaste which I can't find anymore. Bought Crest Plus cavity protection. It is not the same . It burns my mouth. Feels like it is too strong. Was the formula changed?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 11 months ago
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear this happened, and we hope you're feeling better, Julie. Safety is our top priority, and while all of our products are safe and effective, some users may not tolerate a particular formulation. It's helpful to know we haven't made any recent changes to the Crest Pro-Health Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste formula. If irritation persists, we recommend you discontinue using the toothpaste and consult with your dentist. Your dentist may recommend an alternate version, such as a sensitive toothpaste. So we can learn more about your experience and share this with our team, please give us a call at (800) 492-7378, 9 am-6 pm EST, Monday-Friday.

New packaging ... same toothpaste?
I emailed Crest about the new Crest Plus ... and this was the response. Thank you for contacting Crest. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused and I 'd be happy to assist. Our base Crest toothpaste is now part of the Crest Plus family of products. Crest Plus is the same great toothpaste that you know and love under the classic Crest name. Our goal is to make it easier for you to find a product that is right for you and the benefits that you are seeking. We did change the artwork and packaging; however, we did not change the formula for the Crest Cavity Protection, it is still the same toothpaste that you'd come to know with our base toothpaste. Thanks again for reaching us at Crest and please feel free to get in touch if you have further questions. Billy Crest Team

Sick and tired of shrinkflation
The only reason I'm giving this three stars is because of shrinkflation now they are selling the 8.2 oz toothpaste in a 5.7 oz package for the same price. I could tell right away when I opened the box that the tube was smaller. Go figure. I don't know when this nonsense is going to stop.

Great toothpaste but was it discontinued?
All great but was it discontinued? If so then it's a terrible mistake on the company side as I cannot find it anymore online, there's only the "plus" variant which I'm not sure is the same so I'm not buying it!

Suspecious Ingredients
For some reason, P&G no longer lists the "inactive ingredients" on the tube of toothpaste. Upon going to the P&G website, one finds that it is very hard to locate the full list of ingredients (requires properly clicking through many layered webpages). Once found, the list unclear on at least one important point. Instead of listing the ingredients used to provide flavor, P&G just lists "flavor". Flavor is not an "ingredient" it is a vague category. What chemical(s) are you using for "flavor" ..... one can only wonder.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 2 years ago
We're sorry to hear you had a hard time finding the ingredients in your toothpaste, and are happy to help. The flavoring ingredients used are proprietary, so this is why we don't list them. You can view a full list of our ingredients on the Smart Label website. So that we can help you further, please give us a call at (800) 492-7378.

Happy dentist!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this toothpaste! It helped my teeth look and feel great. My dentist also liked it a lot too, I have no cavities at my most recent visit. That is why I waited so long to review this, I wanted to make sure that it really did a good job of keeping my teeth clean before I left a review. The packaging was standard and good, nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either

same great brand, always great effectiveness, and not bad tasting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the flavor of this toothpaste to not be overwhelming or to sweet which I liked. Also they seal the package very good so I do t see spills happening very easily. All in all same great brand, always great effectiveness, and not bad tasting.

All day freshness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Crest prohealth, Max cavity, protection, toothpaste, gives me a sense of comfort, knowing that my teeth are protected from cavities. The texture is not gritty at all, and leaves my teeth filling fresh all day long.

Teeth felt clean all day!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually I’m a Sensodyne or Colgate girly, so this was my first time in a long time trying Crest thanks to Influenster. Texture is basically like most other toothpastes, but it lathered really well while brushing my teeth. Not tooo minty which was new for me. My teeth felt clean literally the entire day, from 6AM when brushed to 10PM at night when they’re once again brushed.

Not Bad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a different toothpaste for years as I tend to stick with what works. This might replace it. I love how clean my teeth feel after brushing. The product itself does not feel too thick which is a plus for me. I looked up the price where I would normally purchase my oral health things and the price is fair. I would definitely recommend.

Effective toothpaste with minimal flavor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer Crest toothpaste. This version is not the one I typically choose so it’s good to try a different one. The flavor is minimal and you don’t need much on your brush. It foams up rather significantly. I expect the tube to last longer for this reason. The packaging is easy to use, light weight and says recyclable. All good things. My teeth & mouth feel clean and refreshed after use.
