 Only whitening rinse without alcohol Jul 28, 2011
By nonpareil
At least, it is the only one that I could easily FIND without alcohol - I do live in a smaller town so our range of products may be limited. For many people, it is critical that a mouthwash not contain alcohol, as that substance is absorbed on the tongue, thus gets into the system even without swallowing.
I can smell/taste the hydrogen peroxide after use. Apparently the gasses travel from the mouth to the nasal cavity, which if I recall my anatomy training correctly, is logical. I am willing to put up with that if the bleaching action works because I am unhappy with the appearance of my teeth and unwilling to give up various foods that stain them. I am also thinking that I will use this mouthwash for a period of time, then return to my regular one. And plan to keep swapping off.
I have not (yet) noticed any of the adverse reactions reported by other users. However, I do feel the same sensations caused by the Crest Pro-Health "multi-protection" rinse I had been using prior, which is to say that a tingling is produced that some might even call pain. Because I've been using a mouthwash right along, I've come to expect this sensation and associate it with my mouth getting cleaner, bacteria being killed.
The bottom line is that my teeth are becoming whiter over several weeks. My marker is one capped incisor that unfortunately matched my teeth 'way back when and now is far too white, creating a telltale contrast. I think my aging teeth are simply becoming translucent and I'm not sure anything can correct that. But with this whitening rinse, they definitely are better.
UPDATE, Nov. 4, 2011: I want to report that I have been using this product daily for 5 months now without any of the gum-pain, bleeding or tooth sensitivity problems reported by other users. Apparently these are problems for some but not for others. I want to be clear that I don't doubt the reports of others; I am simply stating that with long-term use, I have not experienced these negative results.

Works well, and I abuse my teeth... Dec 03, 2011
By iTimbot
So, other than brushing regularly, which I learned after a very painful root canal experience (it wasn't the procedure that hurt, but the events necessitating the procedure, that were torture), I'm pretty much brutal on my teeth. I have dipped Copenhagen long cut for the better part of ten years, usually a 1/4 to a whole can a day. I know. Judge me if you like. BUT! What I do is ALWAYS rinse my mouth out afterwards. I also drink a lot of coffee and smoke cigarettes fairly regularly. Now that you view me as white trash, I'll say this: my dentist told me that for as "much as you dip and drink coffee, your teeth and gums are darn near perfect." When he pokes and prods, I feel no pain in the gums. I attribute it to this rinse and others. My teeth don't look like a smoker's, and they're not dingy looking. They're pretty nice teeth, so Crest 3D white has been my counterbalance of choice for my terrible habits. Been using it for over a year, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm like that one guy: I see mouth tingling or pain as progress, bacteria being killed. I love this product.

 Great Product. Saw Results in One Week Nov 20, 2010
By Andrew Hong
Along with Crest's 3D toothpaste, I began to see results after using them for 1-2 weeks. However, at the same time, there seems to be a few cons to come with it.
PROs
-Worked for me! I brush my teeth 2-3 times a day and use the rinse morning and night
-Feels like it works
CONs
-The aftertaste isn't that great.
-Lost sense of taste to certain things. Foods didn't taste as sweet as before. This has happened in the middle of the day. Hours after rinsed with the mouthwash. Taste eventually comes back.

Good Jul 23, 2011
By Danielle
I have been using this for about a week and I definitely see an improvement in the whiteness of my teeth. I brush my teeth with the crest whitening toothpaste, rinse with water, use the mouthwash, then rinse with water again just to avoid swallowing any and to get rid of the extra peroxide. Definitely makes my mouth feel cleaner than just brushing. I personally like the taste but it might just not be for everyone.

 Heartburn side effect Feb 06, 2012
By J. L. Maddock
"Tool Coveter"
It whitens, but at a cost. At least for me.
With me, some foods trigger very bad heartburn. Even though I don't swallow this mouthwash, it caused me to have heartburn every day, worse yet in the middle of the night. It took me a while to figure out what was causing my heartburn, but as soon as I stopped rinsing my mouth with this, the heartburn dissapeared!
A few uears ago I had tried using a dental tray with whitening gel at night. It, too, caused me to experience heartburn. I figured out the common active ingredient was hydrogen peroxide.
I don't know why this happens, or if any one else experiences this. I just can't use this product because of the heartburn side effect.
BTW it did help to reduce coffee stains on my teeth.
