too frustrating

Vic
The toothpaste itself is good. The lid is cheap & at first it just wouldnt close, then it broke & oozed toothpaste in the drawer, YUK. I hate to waste the $5, but cleaning up after the ooze on a daily basis was too annoying. Goes to show you... a good product but lousy packaging makes it a no go for me :(
Response from Crest:By MonikaCrest TeamJanuary 14, 2011
Ugh, sorry you had a mess! Here's a tip for the Pro Health caps...if you don't like the flip cap you can also use as a twist on. See if that helps with the ooze. We're happy to help with the wasted product. Just give us a call at: 1-800-285-9139.

Protects teeth, prevents tartar/plaque

DrAlAlDr
I've been using Colgate Total several years now. Recently my dentist told me I had demineralization on the back of my lower front teeth - a very difficult area to brush and prone to problems in most people. I tried Crest Pro Health Enamel Strengthening for 6 months until my next dental exam. At that visit, the hygienist (cleaned my teeth for 10 years) said there was far LESS plaque/tartar than in the past. The only thing I changed was the toothpaste. Complaining about packaging misses the point - toothpaste is for cleaning and protecting teeth, and Crest Pro Health Enamel Strengthening does that well.

Great tooth paste!

fyescas777
I really like the fact that this toothpaste protects and hardens your enamel, but the only thing that I don't like is the taste of it. You don't feel the just brushed feeling with this tooth paste, I wish they could change the flavor. I just bought a tube and I hope I don't get the same problems with the cap.

Terrible tasting toothpaste

Kristen
I have used Crest toothpaste my entire life (I am 32 years old) and have never disliked the taste of it. I was using Crest Multicare Whitening Fresh Mint Gel and liked it. Then TARGET discontinued selling it (and I haven't been able to find it at other stores where I live) so I switched to Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste - Fresh Mint. The taste of the Pro-Health toothpaste is awful. It doesn't taste minty fresh or leave a cool sensation in my mouth after using it like the Multicare Whitening Fresh Mint Gel product did, and it barely feels like I brushed my teeth. Which of your products you currently sell tastes the closest to the Multicare Whitening Fresh Mint Gel?
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareNovember 5, 2010
I understand how frustrating it is to lose your favorite toothpaste. I'm sorry you didn't care for the taste of Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste and I'm sharing your review with the rest of our team. In the meantime, you may want to try one of our Crest Whitening Expressions Toothpaste. Hope this helps!

Disappointed in Crest

Stella
I have used Crest my entire life, but have been very disppointed with Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste. It leaks everywhere, including down the cabinet. I've taken the cap off, cleaned it, and replaced it, but this hasn't helped. It is frustrating that you pay for a product and then can't even use half of it because it has leaked everywhere. This isn't the first tube to do this, but it is the worst. I followed all suggestions Crest provided and nothing has helped. It is time to find a different toothpaste because I can't afford to pay for a full tube and only be able to use half the tube, plus cleaning the mess is no fun. Please change the cap!
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareNovember 2, 2010
Hate to hear you're disappointed with the packaging of Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste. 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. I'm sharing your review with the rest of our package team. Thanks!

change the cap on the tube

Josie
I bought a 7.8 tube of Crest po.health enamel shield. When I laid it down and went to use it the next day,it was oozing out all over. It would not stand upright and the slightest use caused it to leak out. The toothpaste is fine but I feel I lost over half of the toothpaste from it oozing out continually. Just put a screw on cap and it would be much better.
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareSeptember 8, 2010
Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the flip cap on the Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste. I understand your frustration. Actually, 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. We'd still like to help, please call us at 1-866-587-2338. Thanks!

Love the toothpaste....hate the cap!!

JDawg
This is a great product, however the cap needs some attention rom the designers......I have used 2 tubes of this toothpaste and BOTH of the the flip caps broke off way before the toothpaste was gone. I know I could just unscrew the cap & use the toothpaste that way, but I love the convenience of the flip cap. New design needed for a great product!!

Very Messy

jmaney
We have used Crest toothpast for years. I am very happy with the dental results.
We will be switching to another brand of toothpaste, because recently Crest is messier then when toothpaste came in metal tubes that were always springing leaks. It is a fluid not a paste. It frequently runs off the toothbrush before I can get it into my mouth.
In the large tubes it is always running to the back of the tube. I do not have enough hands to dispense the last half of the tube properly. Also, the flip cap is too large and blocks the line of sight while dispensing.
If you ever decide to make it back into a paste, I will be happy to swich back.

I have very sensitive teeth and also have had some issues in the past with enamel. In the time I've been using this product my dentist has noticed a huge difference. My teeth are less sensitive and the white spots have almost completely disapeared. I would never switch unless they came out with a better version of this!

Not the best product I've ever tried.

The taste is not good. It does not foam up, half way through brushing your teeth there is no tooth paste left.

Response from Crest:By RosieConsumer CareApril 19, 2010
So sorry to hear about your experience. I'm not sure how much toothpaste you are using, but it may help to apply at least a one inch strip of paste to your brush when you begin. Unfortunately, Crest Pro Health Enamel Shield is only available in the Fresh Mint flavor. You may want to try the Clean Mint or Clean Cinnamon flavor of our other Crest Pro Health toothpaste to freshen your breath as well as whiten your teeth!

I was previously using a competitor product of enamel shield toothpaste, until my dentist gave me a sample of the Crest version! I love it. Both my husband and myself use it and have had no complaints. It has a fresh minty taste - which gives your mouth a clean feeling. Unlike others i have not had a problem with the flip tops.

Crest Pro-Health (Enamel Shield)

It taste terrible and the toothpaste cap also is hard to open and close, I hate to brush my teeth it taste so bad. I threw it away after using it about three times that’s all I could stand. I went back to Crest Baking Soda & Peroxide whitening.

Good toothpaste

Ralphie
I switched to Crest ProHealth about a year ago from another "sensitive tooth" toothpaste. It controls my tooth pain, that's most important. It also provides flouride. The flavor is not bad and it does not make me cough. It does not clean my sinuses, but that would be a nice side effect. :-)

Crest I hate package and taste

Anne
I do not want to spend 1/2 hour trying to find the type and flavor toothpaste I want - they all look alike I want the original paste -- not gel or different taste. At the store there is a wall of toothpaste and it takes 1/2 hour to find what paste i WANT and by then I forget to check the flavor. the boxes are all alike I bought crest prohealth -- clean cinnamon- it is terrible tasting it dried my throat I am coughing 1 hr after brushing maybe this would make good sinus drip med. I have used crest since 66 --yes 1966 I will be looking for a different brand today
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareFebruary 25, 2010
Hi Anne. Sorry to hear you don't like the taste of Crest Pro-Health Clean Cinnamon. Also, we’ve extensively tested this product for safety so I’m surprised to hear it caused you to cough and your throat to become dry. We’d like to gather additional information for our Health & Safety Team. Please call us at 1-866-587-2338. Thanks!

Toothpast Cap

New toothpaste cap is TERRIIBLE! It is hard to open or close, It is not durable and the connection has already ripped I won't buy another tube of toothpaste with this type of cap.

Worst packaging ever

Ken
Ihave used Crest toothpaste nearly all of my life, but I see this comming to an end. The reason you ask? The absolute usless toothpaste packaing. The cap will not shut properly after using, and if left open too far the paste runs out! I bought a 4 pack of Pro-Health from Costco, and when I'm finished with them, unless the tube design has changed. I;m finished with Crest. I don't know if anyone at the company is reading these reviews, but I'm not alone in my complaint!

Will never use another toothpaste

Ashlie
I don't think I will ever use another toothpaste. My mouth feels fresh, and stays fresh all day. Since I'm a smoker I am very particular about my teeth. I don't want to look like I'm a smoker even if I am one. And since using this product along with the mouthwash, I've noticed a complete difference in my teeth. I recommend this product to anyone who wants whiter teeth and keep them healthy at the same time.

Back to what worked

sailingStu
I was a Crest user until my wife switched us to the red box several years ago. Switched back when the red box said started saying "made in Mexico". Still like the regular Crest products, but not the new pro-health. The cap won't stay closed unless you wash the whole top completely. The paste is gritty and tastes like the sixty second wash at the dentist. The tube is smaller and more expensive than competing products. If you other wise like the product, it still needs a regular screw cap.
Response from Crest:By DeeConsumer CareJanuary 29, 2010
Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the flip cap on the Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield 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, the texture you're noticing is the micro cleansing crystals of the formulation. As you brush, the crystals begin to dissolve to form a protective barrier that helps prevent stains and the build-up of visible tartar on the surface. Hope this helps!

Ugh! That cap!

I bought this b/c I've used Crest for years and have preferred the gels. Thought this sounded like something I'd like. The gel is okay, but I haven't really noticed that it's much different than previous products. The packaging is the worst!!! Flip cap won't stay down, gel oozes out of the tube no matter what I've tried, and it's almost impossible to squeeze from the bottom. PLEASE, Crest - Can't you put a screw cap on this?

Best New Crest Product!

Prego
I must say that I was a bit surprised to read some of the unhappy reviews on the the new Crest-Pro Health tooth paste. I received a sample and once I used it, I went out to purchase a larger tube of it. It has improved the brightness of my teeth in only two weeks. It does a great job on polishing my teeth and making my breath feel really clean. I truly love it and so does my husband. I also appreciate that it addresses sensitive teeth as both my husband and I have a certain degree of sensitivity. It is a GREAT PRODUCT! Thank you Crest!!! Give it a try, you really won't be dissapointed!
