Top Oral Health Products Under $20: Crest Pro-Health Rinse

This Mouth Wash Has Our Mouths Celebrating!

After reviewing Crest’s new Pro-Health Rinse, my mouth felt tingly clean enough to offer up my personal recommendation. Crest’s new rinse has been years in the making, and its development is making mouths all over the world cleaner, healthier and fresher.

Crest Pro-Health Rinse is an antigingivitis and antiplaque mouth rinse that was formulated to kill the bacteria in the mouth that causes plague, gingivitis and bad breath.  One thing we have had a problem with was the fact that we felt like the strong alcohol
 based rinses of the past were killing our mouths along with the bacteria. The reason why we got this sensation in the first place is because companies were using alcohol as the active ingredient in these other rinse products. You will not run into this problem with Crest Pro-Health rinse because it contains no alcohol, and the active ingredient in Crest Pro-Health is 0.07% Cetylpyridinium chloride. That being said, you can actually enjoy your thirty second gargle regime because Crest Pro-Health rinse does not cause that burning sensation in the mouth like the other leading brands.

The professionals at Crest Pro-Health boast a twenty-four hour protection against gingivitis and plaque when Crest Pro-Health is used. That simply means that if you use it in the morning, but do not get another opportunity to use the rinse until twenty-four hours later, your mouth is still getting the protection it needs. When used in laboratory testing, the new Crest Pro-Health rinse was successful in killing ninety-nine percent of gingivitis and plague causing germs and bacteria, along with those that cause bad breath.

One thing that I found out during this trial period of using the product that I did not know before, is that Crest Pro-Health is actually mild enough to be safely used following oral surgeries. This is quite beneficial because germs and bacteria often congregate around vulnerable tissue areas such as that of those following oral surgery. Crest Pro-Health also helps alleviate gengivital inflammation.

Until I found this blog, I thought I was going crazy! Lost my sense of taste, my tongue feels numb. I think I'll discontinue using Crest ProHealth -- weird.

Ive always had nice white teeth. However I started using the pro health tooth paste and it gave me the same disgusting brown stains along my gumline everyone is talking about. They will not go away with normal brushing and white strips. Crest blows.

I've been using the regular blue Pro Health rinse for about a year without any problem. Last week I decided to try the night rinse. By the second use I was developing ulcers on my tongue. I switched back to using the regular blue rinse last night (after 3 or 4 uses of the night rinse) and there was a noticeable improvement with many of the smaller ulcers disappearing and the others less sensitive. I expect that with continued non-use of the night rinse that the remaining ulcers will clear up as well. II guess you just have to try it out first and see if you'll have any negative reaction to using it. I switched to regular Pro Health because my dentist said that the alcohol in Listerine was causing sloughing of my gums and and the inside of my cheeks. The regular Pro Health rinse resolved that problem.

My first sign that this might be the Crest was that I rinsed twice with it (once before and after flossing) and then my taste buds seemed tingly, and my sense of taste has been diminishing since (about 48 hours later I have very little taste ability on my tongue). I also noticed yellowing on my molars, fortunately none really on front teeth, but I have discontinued using since it made my sense of taste diminished. I was using the Night formula. Ironically I just bought the same brand but in the more regular Peppermint, still unopened. I may return it for Listerine or something else. Anyway, I can't understand why this product has not yet been pulled. I want all of my senses back in working order!!!

Be thankful that all you had was stained teeth. I had canker sores in my mouth for three days and have the pictures to prove it. I couldn't eat a thing in those three days and lived on Jamba Juice! My dentist contacted Crest on June 19, 2007. They told my dentist that they would contact me, and almost a year later, I'm still waiting.

I do not work for P &G. With that said, I have been using Crest pro-health because my birth control was causing white patches and canker sores in my mouth. I no longer get them. My teeth have actually been whiter since I've been using the mouthwash, and the taste loss is only for 45 minutes after using it...because it's mouthwash. I don't know what else to say.

I have been using Crest Pro Health Mouthwash for about a week. I bought it because I saw that it didn't contain alcohol and I thought that it would prevent the burning. It still burned! And now I woke up today and I cannot taste! Luckily I don't have the brown stains that everyone else is talking about..maybe because I have only used in a few times. I will never use this product ever again! It needs to be removed from the market!

Crest pro-health is awful! It should have a WARNING on the bottle. I haven't been able to taste anything for the last two days, and I'd only used Crest pro-health for about half a week! My mouth tastes like dirty metal and food just tastes wet and sour, no matter what it is. This lack of tatse had better go away soon! This is an awful product to be avoided! At least I didn't get tooth staining....
