Review of Crest toothpastes, their composition and reviews of use

• What is special about the Crest line of toothpastes and are they really as effective as they say;
• Where can you buy these pastes (you probably already know that finding them in regular city pharmacies is very problematic);
• What is useful to know about the composition of Cross toothpastes and their active ingredients (we will analyze several examples in detail);
• Well, and finally, do they really whiten, how safe is it for tooth enamel, and also many other interesting points from a practical point of view...

Generally speaking, Crest is an American brand owned by Procter & Gamble and sold in many countries around the world. It dates back to the beginning of Procter&Gamble's research into the problem of dental caries in the population and the development of effective dental care products. Moreover, the first Crest toothpaste was born back in 1955, and since then the brand has confidently maintained leadership in the production of dental care products in the USA.

Today there is a very wide range of Crest toothpastes on sale, aimed at solving a variety of problems - we’ll talk about this a little later.

On a note

Despite some excitement around Crest toothpastes in Russia, the United States itself has an absolutely neutral attitude towards this toothpaste - it is sold there, as they say, on almost every corner, along with many others.

Crest toothpaste is known to many Russians from humanitarian aid in the 90s, when, together with “Bush legs”, it was very accessible and gained love among the broad masses. However, unlike chicken of rather dubious quality, pasta at that time looked quite decent compared to competitors’ products. Largely thanks to the reputation that formed then, Crest pastes remain popular today, despite minimal marketing support.

Meanwhile, of course, advertising cannot be completely avoided, and if you analyze it, you can note that the specificity of Crest toothpastes is that the manufacturer does not limit itself to one or another category of active ingredients, and does not rely on the indispensable naturalness of the composition ( which is in fashion today). Simply put, exactly those components that actually work and have been tested in practice are added to the toothpaste.

On a note

For example, sodium lauryl sulfate can be found in many brands of Cross toothpastes. Today, real hysteria has developed around this substance - they say that it causes allergies, mouth ulcers, promoting stomatitis (and in practice, sometimes this is actually the case), and is almost a carcinogen. However, sodium lauryl sulfate is a highly effective surfactant, foams well and perfectly cleanses the teeth and oral cavity of various pollutants.

And if the paste is positioned as a whitening one, then be sure that it will contain polyphosphates (they loosen tartar, leaching calcium from its structure, and at the same time partially from the enamel itself), and will also be abrasive enough to create a danger for teeth, if you are naturally prone to painful sensitivity. It is useful to consider these points in advance.

In addition to toothpastes under the Crest brand, so-called whitening strips are also widely known, used for teeth whitening at home. If you decide to use them, we recommend that you first read the materials on this topic in the “Teeth Whitening” section of our website.

All Crest pastes - from healing to whitening

The range of American Crest toothpastes today is very extensive, so in order to better navigate such a variety, all these pastes can be divided into two types:

• health-improving;
• and whitening.

Crest healing toothpastes are represented by the following products:

• Clinical Sensitivity - to protect sensitive teeth and prevent the recurrence of sensitivity;
• For Life 50+ - takes into account age-related changes in the oral cavity, protects against caries, gingivitis, tartar, and prevents age-related weakening of enamel;
• Clinical Gum Protection - effectively fights gum inflammation;
• Gel Clean Mint - resists the appearance of plaque, the development of caries and gingivitis;
• Healthy Fresh - healthier teeth and oral cavity in general plus a bright mint taste;
• Whitening Fresh - 2 in 1: healing effect, whitening and breath freshening.

Whitening pastes include products from the Crest 3D White series:

• Luxe Sensitivity Pampering Mint - eliminates sensitivity and at the same time gently whitens teeth;
• Radiant Mint - polishes teeth, protects against caries and, according to the manufacturer, removes 80% of stains from enamel in just two weeks;
• Enamel Renewal - strengthens enamel and removes 90% of surface stains in just a week;
• Glamorous White Luxe is a highly effective whitening product that removes 90% of stains from enamel in just 5 days (wonder what makes it so effective?);
• Vivid Radiant Mint is positioned as an effective whitening product with an enamel preserving formula;
• Arctic Fresh is a whitening product with the effect of enhanced (“Arctic”) freshness.

Whitening toothpastes also include products from the Complete series:

• Scope Outlast is a gentle bleaching agent with quartz (sounds scary, we can only hope that we are not talking about quartz sand) that provides long-lasting fresh breath;
• Pro-Health Whitening - gel paste that reduces enamel sensitivity, whitens and revitalizes teeth;
• Whitening + Cinnamon - a product for whitening teeth, fighting caries and tartar, has a cinnamon flavor (there is also;
• Anti Bac - comprehensive oral care with a pronounced antibacterial effect;
• Baking Soda & Peroxide Whitening - renews the natural whiteness of teeth and protects against tartar.

On a note

It is more correct to say that whitening toothpastes do not whiten, but lighten teeth. That is, we are not talking about chemical enamel whitening, as happens, for example, in a dentist’s office, when a special gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth. Whitening toothpastes work differently: they mechanically remove plaque and tartar from the enamel surface, making it noticeably lighter.

However, if a person’s tooth enamel is naturally yellow, and there is no colored plaque or tartar on it, then, of course, whitening toothpaste will be useless in such a situation. Well, maybe it will protect against caries.

Crest toothpaste is also available in children's versions (Crest Kids Cavity Protection). Products for children are offered in soft tubes with images of cartoon characters. They have a rather pleasant taste, as well as a bright color, which makes it easier to teach children to brush their teeth regularly.

But buying Crest toothpaste in Moscow or any other city in Russia today is not always easy - you can hardly find them in pharmacies. Therefore, they usually order via the Internet (there are specialized online stores, and some advanced consumers buy from Amazon and EBay).

Overview of the manufacturer's line

The line for adults includes two types of pastes: whitening and healing. In addition to the adult series, the manufacturer also presents options for children. For safety and ease of use, children's pastes are packaged in soft, bright tubes.

Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White and reviews about it

Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White toothpaste is, one might say, one of the most effective products in the manufacturer’s range in terms of enamel whitening intensity. When creating this paste, several technological solutions were used at once, which make it possible to quickly remove stained plaque (and partially tartar) when brushing with it.

As the manufacturer assures, 90% of surface stains will be removed within 5 days of using the paste, and a pronounced effect will become noticeable after the first use. The product is recommended for use in the morning and evening, as well as after eating coloring foods.

Let's take a closer look at the composition of Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White:

The paste contains fluoride in the form of sodium fluoride (Sodium Fluoride), which promotes the mineralization of enamel and protects teeth from caries. However, it is difficult to call this compound innovative, since even a number of domestic and not very expensive pastes contain amino fluoride, which is more effective and advanced in this regard (sometimes in combination with tin fluoride).

A significant role in the removal of mineral dental plaque belongs to sodium pyrophosphate (Disodium Pyrophosphate): this compound, being a strong complexing agent, will actually help to “pull” calcium ions from the tartar matrix, thereby promoting its loosening. But you need to understand that at the same time calcium will be partially removed from the surface of the tooth enamel.

So usually pyrophosphates (and polyphosphates in general) are not introduced into toothpastes intended for sensitive teeth characterized by thinned enamel. Therefore, if you have sensitive teeth, then Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White toothpaste will not be the best choice.

One of the advantages of the paste is the absence of sodium lauryl sulfate in its composition, which is replaced by an alternative compound - sodium laureth phosphate (also an effective surfactant).

As reviews show, Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White toothpaste really gives a fairly quick whitening effect, although you need to understand that in most cases it will be possible to lighten teeth by no more than 1-2 tones (for coffee lovers, smokers). It’s better not to count too much on a dazzling Hollywood smile.

Review

“...I tried many different pastes, but only this one showed a decent result. Moreover, within a week the effect was clearly noticeable! The paste foams wonderfully, polishes and gives a kind of shine to the teeth, your breath is fresh for several hours after brushing, and no plaque is felt until the evening. I ordered the product on ebay, the price was only 350 rubles. It’s very difficult to buy Crest 3D White Luxe paste in local pharmacies and stores, so we have to get out of it.”

Tatyana, Omsk

In view of the craze among people with whitening pastes, I would like to remind you that such products are mostly highly abrasive and are contraindicated for people prone to hyperesthesia (tooth sensitivity). That is, a person, thoughtlessly using such means, risks simply erasing his already weakened enamel, aggravating the situation (especially in the cervical area, contributing to the deepening of wedge-shaped defects).

However, for sensitive teeth, whitening pastes with medium abrasiveness are also produced (the RDA controlled abrasiveness index should not be higher than 75) - such products usually contain:

• Enzymes (bromelain, papain) that help dissolve the protein matrix of dental plaque;
• Potassium compounds to reduce enamel sensitivity;
• Sometimes also strontium compounds to block dentinal tubules, which play a direct role in the occurrence of painful sensitivity of teeth to various irritants;
• Compounds for enamel mineralization (calcium glycerophosphate, calcium citrate, the same fluorides, etc.)

(See Sensodyne, ROCS, and Splat Liquum Gel toothpastes as examples).

3D White Series

One of the directions in research, in addition to the fight against oral diseases, was the creation of an affordable product that could provide high-quality teeth whitening at home.

After all, the darkening of enamel is caused by many factors - partly bad habits, partly food and drinks that contain large amounts of coloring and other substances.

We have prepared for you a list of toothpastes without fluoride, which is considered very harmful.

This article explains how to floss correctly.

Here: https://www.vash-dentist.ru/krasota-i-uxod/zubnyie-pastyi/iz-tailanda-vidyi-osobennosti-i-otzyivyi.html - you will learn the distinctive features of Thai toothpastes.

The “Crest 3D White” series occupies a leading position among professional products for enamel whitening. The effect becomes noticeable within 5–7 days after starting use. In some cases, it may take a little longer - about two weeks. In such a short time, about 85–90% of the stains on the enamel are cleared.

At the same time, development specialists, as well as dental professionals, insist that, despite such results, there is no danger to the enamel itself .

Unlike many products offered on the market, the unique composition avoids high levels of abrasiveness. This allows you to safely use this product every day for a long time.

Features and Benefits

• Possibility of regular use, which ensures high performance and permanent whitening effect.
• Whitening the entire surface of teeth from 90 to 100%.
• The quantitative indicator of lightening is up to two tones.
• Removing up to 85% of dark spots on enamel in a very short time - from 5 to 14 days.
• The special formula allows you to achieve the desired result without damaging the enamel or increasing its sensitivity, even with twice daily use.
• Protection against dental diseases, in particular caries.
• The product is a way to remove not only soft plaque, but also a harder formation on the surface of the teeth - stone. This property makes the paste a way to prevent gingivitis, periodontal disease and periodontitis.
• Special components in the product provide a very high degree of foaming. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to clean and lighten even the most difficult to reach areas without much effort.
• High foaming is also a way to save paste, since very little quantity is required for each cleaning.
• Among other things, “Crest 3D White” has a very powerful refreshing effect that lasts for quite a long time.

We invite you to additionally watch a short video review of one of the Crest 3D White products:

Crest Complete Extra White Plus Scope Outlast

In addition to the whitening effect, Crest Complete Extra White Plus Scope Outlast toothpaste emphasizes the longest possible freshness of breath. Reviews of this paste indicate that the promise of fresh breath “five times longer” is not an advertising gimmick.

Review

“I prefer to use high-quality pastes, but I’m not always satisfied with the effect. I was completely disappointed in the vaunted ROCS, so I decided to try Cross extra white plus. I was amazed by the effect! Your teeth are really white, there is no plaque for a very long time, and your breath is fresh for half a day. I especially liked the scent with a slight medicinal aroma, so powerful and refreshing. For now I will only buy Crest, it’s a pity that I couldn’t find it for sale in our stores, I have to order on the American website, but with a guarantee of authenticity.”

Egor, Moscow

However, it was not without advertising tricks. In particular, the content of quartz in the paste is designated as a miracle novelty, thanks to which teeth are supposedly especially well cleaned and whitened.

It is also useful to read: Lakalut toothpastes and reviews of their use

Let's look at the composition of Crest Complete Extra White Plus Scope Outlast paste:

Quartz is not visible. It would be a stretch to include hydrated silicon oxide (Hydrated Silica) here, although quartz consists of anhydrous crystalline silicon oxide, and this same Hydrated Silica in amorphous form is a typical component of 90% of any modern toothpastes.

  Crest toothpastes are premium, just look at their price. But I can’t say for sure whether they are really effective, because I haven’t used them very much and for a long time. I most often brushed my teeth with a paste from the 3D White series, namely Advanced Vivid Stain Protection, so I will evaluate it more objectively. You are unlikely to be able to whiten your teeth like Hollywood actors, but making them one and a half shades whiter is quite possible, of course, if you strictly observe oral hygiene and pre-professional cleaning in a clinic. But the feeling of freshness after using this paste remains much longer in comparison with products in the average price category.

  A year and a half ago, my daughter got braces. After the long-awaited removal, the question arose about removing plaque and stones. The teenager also wanted to whiten his teeth. We were very lucky with the doctor who dissuaded us from the ZOOM whitening procedure and advised us to start using Crest paste. He explained this by saying that wearing braces had thinned the child’s tooth enamel. The paste allows you to restore enamel and perform gentle whitening.

  I have been looking for a paste with real whitening for a long time... I just have natural yellow teeth, but still everyone wants to be beautiful with a Hollywood smile. My sister and I (and we have the same problem) tried several brands of toothpastes, but instead of the promised effect, we were content with the fact that the enamel was slowly destroyed, and the teeth became weaker and more sensitive... In the end it came to the point that I I couldn’t eat hot food, cold drinks or ice cream... It was very disappointing, especially in the summer at the height of barbecue and ice cream... Then I had to go to the dental clinic, where the dentist almost killed me for all my experiments... He prescribed me a whole a course of treatment that consisted of proper nutrition, a complex of vitamins and Crest 3D White toothpaste (well, he took pity on me and allowed me to whiten my teeth, but only with this paste and only after I had restored the enamel)

  My friend recommended Crest 3D White toothpaste to me. She has been working as a dentist for more than 10 years. The paste is really good - whitens teeth with a bang. I used to have yellow plaque and had to constantly have my teeth cleaned. Now I use this paste, and the need to make an appointment with the dentist immediately evaporated. Toothpaste does not weaken tooth enamel, so there is no need to worry about this. Now I have healthy snow-white teeth.

  I use Complete Plus Scope Liquid Gel paste. Every time I buy a new scent, fortunately Krest has plenty of them. I'm happy with the paste, it smells nice, cleans great, and is suitable for almost all brushes. I don't really like the price, but the quality is guaranteed. I also used Crest Sensi Relief Scope paste, which is very expensive, in my opinion, and is intended primarily for sensitive teeth.

Crest Kids Cavity Protection

Now a few words about Crest children's toothpaste.

Crest Kids Cavity Protection is a children's dental care product created specifically for young consumers (from 2 years old), does not contain sugar, and gently cleans teeth due to its low abrasiveness. Kids love its fruity taste and glitter, which makes dental care more fun and interesting.

Please note that the toothpaste contains fluoride (today many parents prefer to buy fluoride-free toothpastes for their children, which, however, is not always justified).

Composition of Crest Kids Cavity Protection toothpaste:

The main active component of the paste is the same sodium fluoride (Sodium Fluoride). Otherwise, the composition of the paste is not particularly remarkable, and one might even say that it is rather meager. Unfortunately, it was not without the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate.

It is not always possible to buy Crest children's toothpaste in Russian pharmacies and not in every city; it can be easier to order online (although the price will not be the lowest).

Review

“We first tried the Crest children’s paste with beautiful glitter at my sister’s house, it was something incredible. Both my niece and daughter brushed their teeth with it with great pleasure. It’s a pity that it is not sold in pharmacies and stores in our city. I read that many people order it on American websites, and my sister sends it to me from Dnepropetrovsk. By the way, my daughter is already 6 years old - and not a single damaged tooth!”

Alla, Nikopol

Briefly about the manufacturer

Modern cleaning products are designed to perform a number of functions at once:

• direct cleaning;
• preventive (and sometimes therapeutic) effect;
• aesthetic.

Crest toothpaste is a world-famous brand. The manufacturing company is a member of the no less eminent Procter & Gamble corporation, which sells many popular cosmetic products and household chemicals that have received well-deserved recognition in the consumer market of developed countries.

For the first time, oral care products from this company appeared in the 50s of the last century. Since then, the developers have carried out titanic research, the product is constantly being improved and updated, thanks to which the product line of cleaning pastes satisfies the needs of even the most fastidious consumer .

Some popular products of the corporation that help achieve various goals have already been appreciated by Russian consumers and occupy not the last place in the ranking of the best.

Crest gum protection paste

Crest Clinical Gum Protection medicinal paste is a fairly recent development in the Crest series of health products. As the name suggests, it is aimed at protecting and healing gums.

The manufacturer promises that in just four weeks this remedy cures gingivitis and at the same time fights caries, reduces enamel sensitivity and refreshes the oral cavity.

Composition of Crest Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste:

The main active ingredient is tin fluoride (Stannous Fluoride), but its effect is mainly reduced to fluoridation of the enamel in order to strengthen it and protect it from caries. But the main effect on the gums is zinc lactate (Zinc Lactate), an antibacterial and antifungal component.

The rest of the composition can be called quite meager. And if we are talking about protecting the gums, then perhaps it makes sense to pay attention to the toothpastes Lakalut, Pomorin, Mexidol and Forest Balm - their component composition is noticeably richer in this regard.

Again, since Crest Clinical Gum Protection paste is focused on protecting gums, the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate in its composition, which in some cases contributes to the development of stomatitis, looks rather strange.

Review

“I bought Cross toothpaste for gums on the recommendation of a dentist. Before this, my gums had been bleeding and itching for several months. This remedy completely helped get rid of the problem. Expensive, but effective! Our pasta costs 800 rubles.”

Tamara, Voronezh

Prices

You can only talk about cost if you choose just one of all the Cross brand products. In general, all toothpastes of this brand are somewhat more expensive than domestic and even advertised European ones.

This is partly due to the cost of shipping from another continent. But their cost is fully justified by the huge number of advantages and high efficiency.

The price range is not too wide. It all depends on the selling company and the region, but on average you can buy “Crest” toothpaste in the range from 600 to 800 rubles .

Health-improving paste Cross for people over 50

Crest Pro-Health For Life 50+ paste is intended for oral care for older people. Simply put, the paste formula is aimed at eliminating problems that arise in the oral cavity in older people: strengthens enamel, removes tartar, reduces tooth sensitivity, prevents inflammation of soft tissues, protects against bacteria, and freshens breath.

Paste composition:

The active component is the same tin fluoride (Stannous Fluoride). Zinc lactate is responsible for antibacterial properties.

Among the disadvantages of the paste, one can note the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate in it, the absence of calcium compounds that promote the mineralization of enamel (glycerophosphate, citrate, or at least hydroxyapatite), the absence of potassium and strontium salts (which would very effectively solve the problem of tooth sensitivity).

Review

“Crest toothpaste is the best product for pensioners, but the price in Russia does not allow ordinary citizens to use it. In our pharmacy it costs 780 rubles. My son regularly sends it to me from America, I am pleased. I forgot about the unpleasant smell from under my dentures. If possible, buy it. The remedy is worthy."

1 Biorepair Pro White, keeping enamel white

The Italian brand has been on the market since 2007. It is known for its unique formula for restoring tooth enamel. The product is contained in a 75 ml foil tube. Its action is aimed at restoring damaged enamel and restoring whiteness to teeth. The effect is achieved using specially created microRepair particles.

They penetrate microcracks in the enamel, forming a special layer on the surface of the tooth. Thus, a gradual process of restoration of enamel and dentin occurs. The protective polymer PVP prevents the coloring pigment from eating into the tooth enamel. Contains no SLS, harsh abrasives or parabens.

Buyers respond well to the product. They praise the paste for its pleasant minty taste and good plaque removal. Many people see the effect of teeth whitening and restoration. Considering the relatively small volume of the tube, the price may seem high.
