A straightforward fluoride paste for the family
Crest states this regular paste helps protect against cavities on both teeth and exposed roots, and it is ADA Accepted by the American Dental Association. It suits households that want a simple, no-frills toothpaste for everyday use.
What comes in the pack
The pack contains three 161 g (5.7 oz) tubes, boxed together at about 22.1 x 11.9 x 4.4 cm, so you have stock for several bathrooms or months. The paste is labelled gluten free.
How to use
Adults and children aged 2 and over: brush thoroughly after meals or at least twice a day, or as directed by a dentist. Do not swallow. For children under 6, use a pea-sized amount to minimise swallowing and supervise brushing until good habits are established. Children under 2: ask a dentist.
Before you choose
This is a plain cavity-protection toothpaste with a US Drug Facts label, not a whitening or sensitivity formula. Keep out of reach of children under 6. If more than used for brushing is swallowed, get medical help or contact a poison centre straight away. The paste contains sodium lauryl sulfate and blue 1 colouring. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
