This morning's Today Show revealed a rather gross and unsettling discovery: Crest's Pro-Health Rinse apparently turns your teeth brown. Yep, brown. As in dirty than they were before you brushed and rinsed. Unbelievable, right?
According to the report, the mouthwash became popular for being alcohol-free and thus not causing that uncomfortable burning sensation when you rinse. But people started noticing their teeth becoming discolored and their taste buds altering after a few weeks of use. Piles of bad reviews surfaced on the internet and the company has since been knee-deep in lawsuits. It claims the effects are temporary and a side-effect of the alcohol-free ingredients. Well, personally I'll take a little burn any day over nasty brown teeth.
Below is an alternative alcohol-free option that won't put a damper on your pearly whites. The Natural Dentist ($10) will brighten your teeth, not soil them. And if you've already experienced side-effects from using Crest Pro-Health, voice your complaints on their website.

Wow, I can’t believe a company would sell a product like that without testing it enough to find out this happens.
Oh My GOD! I was using this! Good thing I bleach my teeth on a regular basis!
I went with the alcohol free mouth wash bc I was told that the alcohol in mouth wash maybe the catalyst for gum disease - by a dentist. So, she recommends all her patients use alcohol-free. I’ll have to let her know this is going on!
