I love Crest Expressions Vanilla and Cinnamon flavor they are so good. I really craved to brush my teeth all the time when I was pregnant I loved the way it taste. I've never been a big fan of Colgate.

I dont use toothpaste my mouth is too sensitive to the mint flavors, the only toothpaste I can use are the kid ones fruity flavored or the lemon, vanilla flavored ones,but mainly I rinse my mouth with peroxide (DO NOT SWALLOW)its a good replacement for mouth wash, and babking soda for replacement for toothpaste.

yes my childs dentist told us to use baking soda instead of toothpaste, but i cant stand too lol. and peroxide is great . I recently found out that crest ect has formaldahyde in them wich can cause cancer, and alot of people are sensitive to it and can cause rashes ect that may be why your sesetive to it. i just joined a company who makes non toxen items and i am excited about trying so much of there stuff

Yes the whitening toothpastes do work. My husband uses Colgate and I use Crest. He likes the Colgate Complete and I grew up with Crest and don't have any cavities so I won't switch.

i used to use pepsodent. but now i have swithced over to close-up.i think all toothpastes are the same except fo some chemical ingridients in them. i dont believe in whitening of teeth because over the past few years i have not seen any significant increase in the whiteness of my teeth.

I used to use colgate before but as i see no improvement with ma teeth i stopped using colgate and now i have started using pepsodent whitener. It got a good taste in the mouth asa well as the breath also stays fresh for a long time and it also whitens your teeth as well.

I think crest is the better of the two, in fact I have a tube of both and will always grab the crest. It just seems to clean and freshen better to me.

well if you don't drink coffee, tea, or dark juice, and don't smoke the tooth paste works. Crest does prevent cavities, but colegate taste better. decisions, decisions.......

Crest. It's just old habit. My grandparents used it, my parents used it.....what am I supposed to do? Just switch and ruin the family name.....it would shame the family.
