I have used Crest for many years and will continue to do so because it is an excellent product. However, I do not recommend it at this time for one reason - the cap. After using the toothpaste a very few times, there is no way to close the tube. Packing it in a suitcase requires wrapping it in a plastic bag because the toothpaste is squeezed out.
I hope that you will re-package it in a different container with a cap that will close.

Decent product with poor packaging

I tried Pro-Health toothpaste upon the recommendation of my dentist. It had been years since I had purchased a Crest product. The toothpaste itself is not bad in regards to flavor, but it does lack the foaming action of the brand I have been using for the last 5+ years. The packaging is inferior in my opinion. The tube is too broad/ rigid at the neck. The lid is also too large. It is a serious challenge to utilize the entire product once the tube borders on empty. I am on the fence as to whether or not I will switch back to my old brand, due almost exclusively to the current tube design. I cannot stress enough the need for Crest to change to the traditional tube and lid design.

I have used Crest toothpastes for many years and have never been unhappy with the products. However this new Pro-health had a sandy grit that was really ucky. I will throw it out with the box after only one use. What a waste of money.

I was in Sam's club last month and needed toothpaste and I have been using crest cavity brand which they did not have so I bought the new PRO-HEALTH clean mint. I am so dissappointed with this product after using Crest toothpaste for most of my life. It liquifies so rapidly that I have it running down my arm before I am half finished and it has practically disappeared before I finish. I like the fact that it does so much for my dental health and the clean mint is great, but I would rather have it in a more traditional paste. It is also difficult to empty the tube when it becomes depleted so unless something is improved I probably will not buy this product .
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareMay 21, 2010
I understand your frustration with the Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste. We have strict quality controls at manufacturing plant, so we wouldn't expect it to be runny. We'd like for you to give it another try, please call us at 1-866-587-2338. Thanks!

Tooth Paste Leaks all over
CrestUser
I think half the tube of tooth paste of Crest Pro-Health has been on my counter or inside my bathroom drawer. I've read the comment section. Tried snapping the lid shut; keeping it upright. To no avail. There's a definate flaw in the consistency. I had to finally give up and throw it away IN a plastic bag!
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareApril 7, 2010
Sorry you had this problem with the Crest Pro Health Toothpaste. Once the lid is snapped shut you can use it as a twist off cap. This may help with the leaking. Hope you'll give it another try!

Great product; extremely poor packaging
bobbie
The Pro-Health toothpaste is great,very effective, but I join others with objections to the tube design. The snap top works poorly, leaking roothpaste all over. Also the"shoulder" of the tube is so hard, you loose a lot of the product that stays in the tube. We are instructed to flatten the tube from the bottom as it is used. It will not stay flattened ! I almost wish for the "old fashioned" metal tubes with the small screw top.
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareApril 5, 2010
Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the flip cap on the Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste. The flip-top cap is also a twist-on cap. You may try to snap the flip-cap closed and twist off the cap to dispense and then twist it back on for easier use. Also, you are right if the tube lies flat, there is less of a chance of leaking. Hope you'll give this a try!

The toothpaste is fine but I am tired of cleaning out of the drawer, off the counter, etc. because the cap does not close. You need to change the lid NOW. Over 1/2 of the toothpaste has been wasted because it leaks out the cap.
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareApril 1, 2010
How frustrating for the cap on the Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste to leak in the drawer and counter. The flip-top cap is also a twist-on cap. Since you’re having leaking, you may try to snap the flip-cap closed and twist off the cap to dispense and then twist it back on. In the meantime, I'm sharing your review with our package team. Hope this helps!

This is the best toothpaste I have ever used, only after 1 week of using it, I could tell the difference. I like the texture and taste, which is like no other toothpaste I have used before. The benefits compliment the toothpaste by ensuring you are doing the best for your teeth and overall mouth health.

Terrible packaging

I am no longer using this toothpaste as the new caps do not close once they are opened. I woke up one morming to find that half the tube had leaked all over the counter. This is the second time I have complained about this and this is the last time I use Crest. After 40 years, I will be switiching brands because I cannot stand the design of the cap. Very wasteful and I would like my money back.

The toothpaste has a slightly different flavor than most of the other brands but not displeasing. I do have an issue with the new flip cap being extremely messy. With a new tube on hand, I unscrew the cap instead of using the flip feature. This keeps the toothpaste from oozing out of the flip hinge and making a mess. I would rather see the old screw cap back, much neater.

The toothpaste is great, The typeof plastic is hard to use. Each time you need toothpaste you must make sure the paste is up near the top of the tube. The plastic is soft and does not stay where you squeeze it. The paste falls to the side or off if your brush is not directly under the nozzle immediately. The cap is hard to snap into place. We are donating the other three tubes we bought to the homeless shelter. We bought the four pack of large tubes. We are buying the regular crest tooth paste as neither one of us like this packaging. We have never been dissapointed with your products before.

Worst Crest toothpaste I have ever purchased.
Margie
I have always loved Crest toothpaste products but I purchased a multi package of Crest Pro-Health Whitening toothpast at Costco and wanted you to know that the paste is very difficult to squeeze out , and the paste feels like it has sand in it and the tops of the tube break easily. We usually use the Crest Extra Whitening - Clean Mint toothpaste but I decided to try the Pro-Health when I was it in Costco and really regretted my purchase. Just hope you are interested in a customer's opinion.

Sloppiest toothpaste I have ever tried.
ravenc
This is the messiest toothpaste I have ever used. The gel is more like a liquid and keeps seeping out of the toothpaste container unless the cap is put on really tight. I have two teenagers and a husband who will not take the time to put it on tight. This morning was the last straw. Even though the cap was closed, the toothpaste had leaked out during the night and caused a long line across the counter and down into the sink. So much leaks out that it is not worth the money. I threw it away.
Response from Crest:By AndrewConsumer CareMarch 16, 2010
Oh no...what a mess. Sometimes during shipping or storage before you even buy the product, they can get too hot or cold, and this can change the product a little, and I am sorry for that. I hope that you give Crest another try.

The tube lid is way too messy, and very hard to get paste out. Guess I have to find the old fashioned tube. Your new tube won't keep the paste up at the top when we push it there. The cover is hard to keep closed.
