Crest 3d White

Drug Overview

Crest® 3D WHITE™ FLUORIDE ANTICAVITY TOOTHPASTE is a specialized toothpaste designed to help protect your teeth against cavities while also providing advanced whitening benefits. It works by using fluoride, which is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. In addition to cavity protection, this toothpaste can remove up to 100% of surface stains, giving you visibly whiter teeth in just three days.

This toothpaste is formulated to not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also to maintain your dental health. By incorporating it into your daily oral care routine, you can enjoy the dual benefits of cavity protection and a brighter, whiter smile.

Uses

You can use this product to help protect against cavities, which are small holes in your teeth caused by decay. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene, and this product can be a helpful part of your routine to keep your teeth healthy.

Rest assured, there are no known teratogenic effects (which means it doesn't cause birth defects) or nonteratogenic effects associated with this product. This makes it a safe option for most users.

Dosage and Administration

It's important to take care of your teeth, and brushing is a key part of that routine. If you are an adult or have a child who is 2 years or older, you should brush your teeth thoroughly after meals or at least twice a day. If your dentist has given you specific instructions, be sure to follow those as well.

When brushing, remember not to swallow the toothpaste. For children under 6 years old, use only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to help minimize swallowing, and make sure to supervise their brushing until they develop good habits. If your child is under 2 years old, it's best to consult with a dentist for guidance on how to care for their teeth.
