Crest Toothpaste Gum Detoxify Deep Clean, 4.1 Oz (Pack of 3) Product Detail

Review:

I was recommended this by my dentist because I had some receding gums and bacteria building up in there. It tastes great and it really lathers up with very little needed on the brush and feels like your getting a good cleaning all over in there. When I switched over, so did my wife since that's what I was buying. Oddly enough, we both started having issues with brown stains that we never had before. We had no idea why, and our dentist gave us the usual brush and floss better advice. We had recently switched to brewed coffee and thought maybe that had something to do with it. Then in doing my research, and from the comments in these reviews and Q&A, I realized that it's this toothpaste. Apparently when Crest first came out, they used the type of fluoride found in this toothpaste. Essentially this stuff is the original Crest toothpaste. It does a good job at killing bacteria in the gums and preventing plaque, something that is healthy and desirable from a toothpaste. But it had an undesirable side effect - brown stains. For whatever reason, this type of fluoride when interacting with food (and coffee) is prone to staining.So pick your poison. This is healthier for your gums and teeth, but ugly because of it's staining potential. Adversely, whitening toothpaste is abrasive in nature and might make your teeth look better but wears away the enamel to achieve that lightening.The wife and I have decided to split the middle. We're in our 50s now and our concern is health before cosmetics so we will use the detoxify at night before bed, and regular toothpaste in the morning.
