Because this toothpaste relies on Stannous Fluoride and polishing agents, it performs best when used with an electric toothbrush. The high-frequency vibrations help the silica particles break down stubborn surface film (pellicle) more effectively than manual brushing alone, improving stain removal and overall cleaning performance.

Why We Like It
If you’re looking for the best “bang for your buck,” Crest Pro-Health Advanced Extra Whitening is a clear winner. Rather than being a specialized whitening treatment, it’s a complete oral-health toothpaste that also delivers a whitening boost.
It is clinically proven to protect the areas dentists check most: cavities, gingivitis, plaque, sensitivity, tartar, whitening, and fresh breath. The “Advanced” formula uses Stannous Fluoride, which not only fights cavities but also creates a protective antibacterial shield around the gums.
Who is it best for?
This toothpaste is ideal for families and budget-conscious shoppers who want one product that does everything. If you want a dependable daily toothpaste that keeps teeth bright and gums healthy without paying premium prices, this is an excellent choice.
Who Should Not Get It?
Those seeking fast, dramatic whitening or deep bleaching may be disappointed. This formula does not contain high levels of Hydrogen Peroxide, so it won’t lift deep, intrinsic staining. If you need quick results for a special event, a more intensive whitening formula would be a better option.
