Color-Changing Toothpastes

Crest Kids Color Changing Toothpaste Encourages Brushing for Longer

Crest Kids Color Changing Toothpaste is the only toothpaste for kids of its kind on the market and it encourages kids to brush up to two times longer. As a result, kids develop healthy brushing habits to support lifelong health and cavity protection.

Getting young ones to brush their teeth for the recommended two minutes twice a day is often a challenge for parents and caregivers, and this new toothpaste leans into color-changing technology to end the struggle. The bubblegum-flavored toothpaste goes from blue to pink after two minutes of brushing.

The Crest Kids Color Changing Toothpaste launched alongside a suite of Oral-B color-changing themed toothbrushes to transform this daily task from a hassle to an enjoyable activity.
