It happened to me and one other person I know. I went out and read the reviews for this product on Amazon and it appears to be a common problem. So don't use this product unless you want brown teeth.

btw, 250 ml bottle of this is free this week at Walgreen wyb Crest Pro Health Toothpaste. maybe not be worth it even if its free?

Thanks for the heads up OP.

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.

i cant believe these results from such a ''trusted'' name, i faithfully used and LOVED this product for months before i noticed a brown stain around gums & inbetween teeth, i am DILIGENT in my oral care & use whitestrips so my teeth are nice n white, now i look like ive either chewed tobacco or done meth, im so upset and apparently Crest is doing nothing about this? there should be a warning on the label

This was on the Today show a few weeks back.. We use Listerine- but, I've read mixed reviews on Pro-Health. But, my aunt is a dentist and she'd shoot me for using something that isn't ADA approved! hahahah!
