If you have both of those needs, this might be the pasty concoction for you. It includes cetylpyridinium chloride which we've only seen on one of the other 3D White products. That product wasn't focused on either of the specializations of this paste. Probably the most notable thing about this item is that it actually has two active ingredients. Most that we've seen only have one active with a ton of inactive. It contains the usual sodium fluoride along with potassium nitrate. This is the only 3D white product to include potassium nitrate which is included to reduce pain in sensitive teeth. It calms the nerves in teeth to acheive this. This paste also includes both cellulose gum and xantham gum. Normally, either one or the other of these will be included. Crest 3D White products contain "micro-cleansing" teeth whiteners that the company says can remove up to 100% of stains in just five days. It also contains the cavity-fighting active ingredient sodium fluoride. Crest was introduced in the United States as "Fluoristan" in 1954, as it contained stannous fluoride. In 1955, the name of the product was changed to "Crest with Fluoristan." [3] [4] [5] The composition of the toothpaste had been developed by Joseph C. Muhler, Harry Day, and William H. Nebergall at Indiana University, and was patented by Nebergall. Procter & Gamble paid royalties from use of the patent and thus financed a new dental research institute at this university ("The House that Crest built"). [6] [7] The active ingredient of Crest was changed in 1981 to sodium fluoride, or "Fluoristat", which it uses today as "Dentifrice with Fluoristat"; Crest Pro-Health uses stannous fluoride again and an abrasive whitener together called "Polyfluorite". Crest is accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA), [8] [9] as well as by equivalent dental associations in other countries. any toothpaste that has the seal of the American Dental Association.

It actually comes as two separate tubes. Both of these tubes contain different ingredients. The first tube lists active and inactive ingredients whereas the second tube just says "ingredients". Besides having two separate tubes, one of the most striking things here is that it contains stannous fluoride instead of sodium fluoride. This is different from most of the other Crest products we have looked at so far. It contains zinc lactate, sodium gluconate, and hydrogen peroxide. All three of these are unique to this specific 3D White paste. market and being continuously monitored once in market. How is Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste different from Mild Mint is one of the flavors of Crest 3d White. This specific tube of toothpaste doesn't have any other special features other than the flavor. The only thing setting it appart from the Arctic Fresh paste is the flavor. Despite this the ingredients are very different. This one contains alcohol where as Arcitc Fresh does not. They both contain Cellulose Gum but only this one has Xanthan Gum. Basically, this one just has a ton more ingredients. The only thing that the other tube has that this one doesn't is mica, which I assume is purely cosmetic. The world of toothpaste is a mysterious place.
