Bought this thinking it would help whiten teeth. Huge mistake. After about a week of using, my teeth and gums began hurting. At first I didn't make the connection. But then I started getting bad sores on my gums and my molar teeth starting hurting so bad I swore I had toothaches. I thought that the toothpaste might be to blame, and sure enough when I looked it up it said that this toothpaste can cause your teeth and gums to hurt. I am immediately throwing this toothpaste in the trash and never buying it again. It has brought me nothing but pain and frustration, it hurts to eat and even talk sometimes. Almost the entire right side of my bottom gums have sores, and my molar teeth hurt. If you think you might have a sensitive mouth like me, STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!

I don't consider my teeth overly sensitive, I'm almost always pretty good about dental hygiene. One section of my gums over a tooth started bleeding and I was very concerned and contacted my dentist. They told me it could be from food that got stuck and could be not so severe gingivitis. So I started brushing my teeth extra good each morning and night, flossing extra good, and using mouthwash. Nothing seemed to be improving, instead, it got worse. Two nights ago I brushed my teeth super well for a good 2 minutes and after my mouth was on fire. It burned to even drink water so I freaked out and assumed the worst. Again I contacted my dentist in the morning and it turns out that, rather than being unhygienic, I was having a reaction to my toothpaste-- Crest Baking soda and peroxide. I switched to a new toothpaste last night and my mouth is already feeling better. My dentist also told me baking soda and peroxide are both overly harsh for teeth and to be very wary of what is in my toothpaste. Just a heads up, it can be good for some but if you are hygenic and dont ahve a big plaque build up this one probably isnt the one for you, speaking from personal experience.

This particular brand of Crest toothpaste wouldn't go into my books as being my favorite. With that being said I can't say that it's the worst toothpaste out there either. I have tried many kinds and this one is kind of in the middle. This toothpaste is good because it does whiten naturally with the baking soda and peroxide. I can't say that it whitens your teeth that much. I didn't notice any major differences. The thing that I do and don't like about this toothpaste is the gritty texture. I like it because it feels like it's cleaning your teeth in a scrubbing manor. It feels like it's getting them more clean. I don't like the texture at the same time because it is a weird feeling in your mouth. Maybe I'm just used to the smooth toothpaste feeling. Usually toothpaste with baking soda in it doesn't have the best taste. This one wasn't too bad though. It has a soft mint taste to it. I would say to give it a try for yourself and see what you think. It also is a pretty good price which is nice, especially when trying something for the first time.

For years I had been a loyal user of Crest Baking Soda and Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste. Some of the qualities that appealed to me were the Crest name brand. I feel that overall Crest makes top quality dental products that I'm comfortable using. Also, the baking soda and peroxide offered such a great cleaning. When you put it in your mouth and start to brush with the combination, it begins to bubble and almost fizz. You can really tell it's working. This combination can taste bad but Crest offers the Fresh Mint flavor that I absolutely love. It's refreshingly pleasant and not overwhelming minty. I felt like this toothpaste offered nice tartar control and for several years my teeth seemed to benefit from it. Unfortunately, overtime I noticed that my teeth didn't seem as white as they once did. I began trying other toothpastes and came to realize that this Crest paste just doesn't offer the whitening benefit that the newer Crest whitening products can offer. I had to make the change to a new paste.

I bought Crest Baking Soda and Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste because I used to brush my teeth with pure baking soda every few months to help whiten my teeth and I hated the taste. Well I saw that they had Crest with baking soda and thought to give it a try. The taste of the toothpaste wasn't as bad as brushing your teeth with just baking soda. The mint flavor with the baking soda and peroxide had a descent taste to it, I wouldn't say a fantastic taste but a descent taste. After a couple weeks of use I notice my teeth starting to whiten some. So it does work. It not only helps whiten your teeth but also helps prevent tartar build up which protects against cavities. The baking soda and peroxide helps get rid of bad breath which is awesome if you have really bad morning breath. It leaves my mouth feeling clean and fresh after each use. I highly recommend you trying this toothpaste, I doubt you will be disappointed with the results.

I am a fan of Crest because I have always had a good experience with all of their products. I have found that I particularly like this toothpaste because of it's whitening power through the use of natural ingredients (baking soda and peroxide). Usually these products (baking soda and peroxide) will cause a toothpaste to not taste so good, but that is not the case with this toothpaste. It has a fresh minty taste without even a hint of peroxide or baking soda taste. As I already said, it has great whitening power and keeps my teeth feeling and looking clean and white. I highly recommend this toothpaste. Look for it in a double pack to get a better deal.

I have been using this baking soda and peroxide Crest toothpaste for several years.  I work in the dental field, so I know Crest is a great product - I never use another brand.  I selected this toothpaste for myself because I am prone to chanker sores (for me they are often by stress, trauma [biting the cheek] too little iron in the system, not drinking enough water, or too much citrus or acidic foods in the diet).  I still get the sores, but this toothpaste does help.  Many people know that treating chanker sores with baking soda neutralizes that ulcer, therefore the small amount of baking soda in the toothpaste does help.  The peroxide factor, of course, helps the teeth to become whiter... both pluses for me!  I am picky about the flavor of toothpaste products, and in my opinion, this one is fine.  Like anything, a new product, especially toothpaste, may take some time to get used to, but it is great for me!

I'll begin by saying I grew up using Crest and now it's all I buy for my family (with the exception of Sensodyne for one family member). So Crest is definitely a preferred brand in our house. However, this version of Crest leaves a bit to be desired. While I love the taste of this toothpaste and also the really cool, fresh feeling it leaves in my mouth after brushing, its name implies that it is a whitening toothpaste, and we have not noticed a difference in the whiteness of our teeth since using it. (Not that there was room for major improvement, but we saw no difference whatsoever.) It costs a bit more than some of the other types of Crest and doesn't quite live up to its name as a whitener. That said, I recommend sticking with the less expensive versions of Crest (they all taste great, will get your teeth clean and leave your breath smelling fresh) unless you really just need the whitener. And in that case, I recommend trying a different product.

I have used this toothpaste for years, and I'm not exagerating when I tell you that, atleast 2 to 5 times a month, SOMEONE comments on my white smile.  I have whitened my teeth in the past, but it's been probably a year since the last time I whitened(used Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal) my teeth.  I was with some family members last weekend, and two of them asked me how I keep my teeth so white.  And of course I told them about this toothpaste!!  I am also a coffee and tea drinker, so it does work.  I have been using this toothpaste for.........hmmm, just a guess....about 4-5 years???  Maybe longer.  GO AND BUY SOME, YOU'LL LOVE IT!!

I think I might have an overly sensitive mouth. I absolutely cannot use Listerine, no matter how good my dentist says it is, because it feels like its burning the inside of my mouth. Similarly, I've been having a hard time trying to use Crest Baking Soda And Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste. It really irritates the inside of my mouth, to the point that brushing my teeth is practically painful! I have to say that my husband loves this stuff, and uses it every day without complaint, so obviously not all people are going to have my reaction to this toothpaste. In theory, it seems like a great toothpaste: it whitens with baking soda and peroxide, which are time-proven ingredients, it of course protects against cavities, and it includes tartar protection. It does it all! The problem is, it doesn't do much for me because I avoid brushing my teeth just to avoid having this toothpaste in my mouth. When brushing, I find its gritty texture unpleasant and its minty flavor way, way too strong. The longer I brush, the more I feel like the inside of my mouth is being burned, especially my tongue. Maybe I'm just a wimp or a weirdo, but I'm going to have to stick to a simpler, milder toothpaste.
