Crest Complete Whitening + Scope Toothpaste, Minty Fresh, 3 x 120 mL

A low cost fluoride toothpaste that adds surface stain removal and strong mint flavor.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Adults who want one toothpaste for cavities, tartar, surface stains and fresh breath
  • Households that go through toothpaste quickly and like buying in multipacks
Skip it if
  • You have sensitive teeth, which Crest says a different product suits better
  • You want deeper whitening than surface stain removal
  • You prefer a toothpaste without dyes or sodium lauryl sulfate

What owners like

  • Covers cavities, tartar, stains and breath in a single product
  • Strong, fresh mint flavor that carries the Scope taste
  • Saves buying a separate whitening paste

Common complaints

  • Whitening is limited to surface stains; the maker says tetracycline stains may not whiten
  • The maker suggests a different Crest product for people with sensitive teeth
  • The mint flavor is strong, which will not suit everyone

Based on Crest's US and Canadian product pages, a Canadian pharmacy listing with the full ingredient list, and a Dentist.net blog review.

What it does

A fluoride toothpaste that combines Crest whitening with Scope flavor, sold here as three 120 mL tubes.

  • Fluoride formula the maker says fights cavities and tartar with regular brushing
  • Removes surface stains for whiter teeth, per the maker
  • Scope flavor that the maker says kills millions of bad breath germs in laboratory tests
  • The Canadian listing describes an active foam formula
  • Three tube pack for stocking up

A sensible everyday pick for anyone who wants cavity and tartar protection, surface stain removal and a strong mint taste in one tube. The trade-offs are that the whitening only targets surface stains, and Crest itself points people with sensitive teeth toward a different formula.
