I started using this when it first came out. At my next check up my hygienist asked what I was using on my teeth??? I told her and she said stop. She said my gums were bleeding when they normally dont. She said it was the mouthwash as she has seen it in other patients and has advised all of her patients (that mention using it) to stop. I stopped and she rechecked me 4 weeks later and it was better. So even free I wont (and didn't) get any.

That's why I only got 2 bottles...for the guest bathroom. I HATE this stuff..it is disgusting.

Does Crest Pro-Health Rinse stain teeth blue?
Crest Pro-Health Rinse Refreshing Clean Mint flavor contains a blue dye.
The dye is safe, will not permanently stain your teeth or tongue, and should wash away with normal eating and drinking.
However, you might want to try Crest Pro-Health Rinse Cool Wintergreen flavor, or Crest Pro-Health Night Rinse, neither of which contain blue dye.

Some consumers may notice blue specks in their sink after spitting out Crest Pro-Health Rinse Refreshing Clean Mint Flavor.
The blue dye in the mouthwash can bind to germs in your mouth, making them more visible when you spit into the sink.
Some consumers find that running water in the sink before spitting out the rinse helps prevent the blue specks from sticking.

Does Crest Pro-Health Rinse stain teeth brown?
Like all mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis, Crest Pro-Health Rinse can contribute to temporary, surface-level brown tooth discoloration, which is reported by a small percentage of individuals.
Tooth discoloration could actually be one indication, in some people, that the product is working: after the rinse kills germs in your mouth, the dead germs can collect on the tooth surface and create the appearance of a brown stain.
Tooth discoloration could be exaggerated by many other factors, such as existing tartar on teeth, consumption of colored beverages like coffee, tea and/or red wine, or tobacco use.
Brown tooth discoloration from use of mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis is not harmful. It is reversible - and largely preventable - through options like brushing with a power toothbrush and tartar-control/whitening toothpaste, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly.

Why doesn't the Crest Pro-Health Rinse label contain a stain warning?
The active ingredient in Crest Pro-Health Rinse has been recognized as safe and effective by an FDA advisory panel. The label meets current FDA standards.

Some other mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis, and have the potential to contribute to temporary brown tooth discoloration, have been on the market for years, and do not carry a stain label.

Crest Pro-Health Rinse’s product label does instruct users to “use [the rinse] after your normal brushing and flossing routine.”

Does Crest Pro-Health Rinse cause taste loss?
Crest Pro-Health Rinse does not cause permanent taste alteration.
Oral care products containing active ingredient CPC may cause a temporary aftertaste, or temporary change in the taste of food, in a small percentage of people.
CPC stays in the mouth for long periods of time, which allows the rinse to provide its 12-hour benefit.
Aftertaste/change in the taste of food typically goes away shortly after product use is stopped.

How does Crest Pro-Health Rinse compare to the leading anti-plaque, anti-gingivitis mouthwash?
Both Crest Pro-Health Rinse and the leading anti-plaque, anti-gingivitis mouthwash are formulated to fight germs that cause plaque, gingivitis, and bad breath.

But, Crest Pro-Health’s unique formula does not contain alcohol.
This means that the product does not burn, making it easier to use for the recommended 30 seconds twice daily. If the product is not used for the full 30 seconds, users will not realize the full health benefit.
Alcohol - at high concentrations - has been reported to contribute to dry mouth, which can worsen bad breath and the growth of more germs.

How does Crest Pro-Health Rinse compare to Scope?
Scope is a mouthwash that is formulated to kill bad breath germs, providing minty-fresh breath.

Crest Pro-Health Rinse provides important health benefits that many ordinary mouthwashes do not.
It kills 99% of germs that cause plaque and gingivitis, as well as those that cause bad breath, all without the burn of alcohol.

What is the product made of?

The formula's inactive ingredients may include, but are not limited to, water, glycerin, flavor, poloxamer 407, sodium saccharin, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, propolyne glycol, blue 1, yellow 6, and green 3.

Are there any other products that use Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC) in the market?
Yes, however, not all of the products are formulated to kill plaque and gingivitis germs.
Crest Pro-Health Rinse's innovative formula allows CPC to be available for killing plaque and gingivitis germs, as opposed to binding with other inactive ingredients in the formula.
