do NOT try this at home

Several months ago I decided to be proactive about my tooth and gum health by purchasing Crest Pro Health mouthwash. Both Dave and I have been using it regularly to help ward away gingivitis and bad breath. Unfortunately, I was doing more harm than good. I went to the dentist last week and was told I had bad staining on the backs of my teeth. They asked what kind of mouthwash I used, and when I reported Crest Pro Health, they told me to promptly throw it away and never use it again. The hygienest then proceded to scrape my teeth for 25 minutes in order to get all the staining (and enamel while she was at it) off. So if you have this product at home, get rid of it NOW! so much for my hollywood smile....

Good to know! We use good old Listerine...I hear if you soak your foot in it (maybe for toenail fungus), it will turn it blue! This is sounding a bit Smurfy,I never liked that cartoon. Have a great 4th.

What? I had no idea! Thanks for the heads up. I'm glad you made it to your appointment with all you had going on that day.

is it all mouth washes or just that brand? I noticed in the hospital they have all been recalled??
