Crest Pro-Health Night Toothpaste — 

Crest Pro-Health Night is a flouride toothpaste for sensitive teeth. It is also supposed to help you wake up with fresher breath than other toothpastes. First thing I noticed was the tube is dark blue in color with the medical symbol in lighter blue in the background. Crest obviously wants you to know this is a serious toothpaste. I wear retainers at night so the whole fresher in the morning thing was what really got my attention. Also this is for sensitive teeth, and I have that, so I was eager to try this.

The texture of the Crest Pro-health night is gritty, which made me feel like my teeth were getting cleaner. Good. The moment the paste touched my sensitive tooth i had intense pain. Bad. How is a tooth paste made for sensitive teeth causing pain? The taste was weird, slightly minty, but mild. I was thinking that there was no way this mild paste would leave my breath fresh in them morning.

Here is what I have found after three weeks. My tooth no longer hurts when I use this paste. You get used to the taste. Your breath is slightly less dank in the morning than with other pastes. i have not noticed my teeth being whiter at all. I attribute the lack of sensitivity to the Recaldent my dentist gave me, not this paste.

So, to me, Crest Pro-Health is average for the price. I wouldn't buy it again, and by the way, you are only supposed to use it for four weeks at a time! The directions on the back say you must be over twelve as well, so it is not for the whole family. I already buy a baby toothpaste, I don't want to have to buy a separate tooth past for everyone in the family!
