I am a licensed dentist who works for Crest. I would like to add to the conversation about Crest Pro-Health Rinse.
Crest Pro-Health Rinse kills 99% of the germs that cause plaque, gingivitis and bad breath in a unique alcohol-free formula. Unlike alcohol-containing mouthwashes, Crest Pro-Health Rinse doesn’t burn, making it easier to use for the recommended 30 seconds twice daily. Alcohol – at high concentrations – has been reported to contribute to dry mouth, which can actually worsen bad breath and the growth of more germs.
Like all mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis, Crest Pro-Health Rinse can contribute to temporary, surface-level brown tooth discoloration, which is reported by a small percentage of individuals. Tooth discoloration could actually be one indication, in some people, that the product is working. After the rinse kills germs in your mouth, the dead germs can collect on the tooth surface and create the appearance of a brown stain. Discoloration could be exaggerated by things such as tartar on teeth, consumption of colored beverages like coffee, tea and/or red wine, or tobacco use.
Brown tooth discoloration from use of mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis is not harmful. It is reversible – and largely preventable – through options like brushing with a power toothbrush and tartar-control/whitening toothpaste, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly.
