Kills gums
I started using my husband's toothpaste (the product listed on this page) when my Sensodyne Repair and Protect ran out. It seemed okay at first, so I didn't bother replacing my Sensodyne. What a mistake.<br /><br />As mentioned, this toothpaste was fine for a week or two. Suddenly I developed a sore area on the small web of skin/muscle that connects the bottom lip area to the bottom gum. Despite using Orajel, it continued getting worse and is now a nice white dot of pain. Brushing my teeth with this Crest toothpaste was like applying acid to this area and it made me procrastinate about brushing my teeth altogether.<br /><br />I only really connected the sore with the toothpaste today when I decided to get some more of my regular Sensodyne, and man was it a difference. I was able to brush the sore softly without it stinging too much. It already feels a lot better than it has done these past few days.<br /><br />I didn't really experience the &#34;slime&#34; I have seen mentioned a lot here, but that's possibly because I use mouthwash right after brushing.<br /><br />Either way, would not recommend this to anyone who values their gums.
