Oral-B Gum Care & Enamel Restore
Verified97 reviews
My mouth is burning, and am experiencing very sensitive teeth and nerve tingling - tongue hurting with ulcers - and this toothpaste was created to help build enamel ? This needs to be taken off the shelf immediatelly. It is toxic, cannot believe they are selling this! Show details
My mouth, gums, lips and tongue have broken out in ulcers.i suspected it was the toothpaste so i stopped it and it went away and i started using it again and its come back. Shouldn’t be sold. It doesn’t foam, doesn’t clean, it’s horrific . Show details
First I noticed the toothpaste smelt like dencorub arthritis cream. I used it , put up with the stinging in my mouth and gums, assuming it was benefiting my teeth and gums. ended up with the worst teeth pain, gums infected. I had an infection, xrays dentist, pain management. I blame this toothpaste. No problems till I used it. Show details

I used this once and straight away my teeth started to hurt. Gave it a couple of days and tried it again and same problem. I don’t know toothpaste for sensitive teeth would make my teeth hurt but it did. So today I decided to google it to see if it was just me and came across all these reviews. Wow. I did also notice the stringy stuff coming out of my mouth. This stuff is horrible. I bought 2 tubes on sale and now they’re both going into the bin. Show details
Ulcers, swollen and cracked lips and tongue – This product is AWFUL! I have a few different toothpastes in the house and couldn’t figure out why I’d randomly get this awful swelling until the skin cracked on my tongue and lips, ulcers along where my teeth meet my lips and cheeks. I went to the doctor several times, had multiple blood tests and started an elimination diet to try pinpoint this… Read more
aggressive reaction but it’s this toothpaste. From how many people have had a similar experience this should not be sold especially when it’s marketed to those with sensitive gums. My husband also has a reaction though nowhere as severe, just the mouth ulcers and skin peeling away
Awful. Shouldnt be sold – After only 1 day of use, my front teeth especially were so sensitive that I couldnt even drink cold water. My mouth and roof of my mouth feels hot and burnt like I've drank scalding coffee (I havent). Began to panic as I already have teeth anxiety and brush meticulously twice a day. Linked it to the tooth paste after reading other reviews. I've never had this issue with a toothpaste before, very disappointing. I hope the sensitivity subsides. Show details
Terrible reaction – I’m shocked to see so many reviews similar to my experience. The skin in my mouth is peeling and I have painful ulcers. Do not buy this product. It needs to be recalled. Isn’t it curious the reviews on the oral b website are positive and reviews on here are terrible.. seems suspicious to me. Goes from almost 5 star on your website to 1 star on here. Show details
Please dont buy oral B gum care and whitening – It burns like i am brushing with deep heat and could feel the heat for nearly 20mins after brushing. Thin skins used to peel off inside my mouth after brushing and my lips starts paining too after brushing for 3 days regularly and today is the 3rd day so, i checked my lips and i couldn’t believe the negative reactions of this toothpaste. I have attached the pic. I will never ever buy this product :( Show details

Great new toothpaste – Awesome new product. Soft mint flavour and almost no foam. Glad to see a product on the market that has taken out unnecessary chemicals. I dont need them. Well done Oral B. Show details · 1
Nice product but, – My gums swollen after use this toothpaste for 2 days. The rest was good, leave the fresh feeling after brush. I love this toothpaste. Is it how this product works, make the gum swollen after use it? Or is it just my gum have a problem and this product try to fix it when i use it. Show details · 2
Works Wonders – At 57yo I have found that my gums and enamel need some help. I only realised how good it was after I used another toothpaste for a while. I love it and I have had very good results so far. I find the negative comments on this site to be surprising because I have not experience any of the side effects that have been mentioned.

Negative reviews
The worst tooth paste product ever – I wish I could give this product a zero or negative rating. I've been experiencing severe ulcers and cracked lips. Initially, I thought my symptoms were due to my diet or the weather. However, after using the product three times, I suffered from ulcers, dry mouth, and painful lips each time. I believed I was the only one having these issues… Read more
until I came across numerous negative reviews from others who experienced the same symptoms.
Please avoid this product; it should not be available in the market. I am extremely disappointed .
Worst, most painful toothpaste ever – I was wondering what was causing the ulcers on my tongue and in my mouth and what it was that was making my gums and teeth hurt so much. My husband was also experiencing similar symptoms. I suspected it might be the toothpaste, but surely that couldn't be the case, right? But after switching toothpaste our symptoms miraculously disappeared! It… Read more
looks like we were not alone in our misery, and this toothpaste has inflicted pain and suffering on many other people. I'm shocked that this product is allowed to be sold when it does so much damage to so many mouths. If I could I would give zero stars for what is essentially what I would describe as poison.

Really bad reaction to this toothpaste – I’ve been using this toothpaste for a few weeks now and it’s taken me all that time to work out why I had a mouthful of ulcers and also why the skin on the inside of my mouth felt swollen and strange. Was relieved to find others have had the same experience. Relieved to find it’s all easing off now I’ve stopped using it. Wish I’d thought of looking at reviews before. Show details

Dubious Product – It has taken me 2 months to work out why the inside of my lips were swollen, burning, dry and ulcerated. The skin was also peeling in fine slithers. I removed various things from my diet, changed mouth wash, but it wasn’t until I finally realised it could be the toothpaste and stopped using it, that all the symptoms ceased within a couple of days.… Read more
I was rinsing with salt water every few hours to soothe the mouth. I thought this toothpaste would have been gentle, with “Gum Care” in the product title. I was shocked to read that so many others have also suffered, but also felt less alone Unfortunately I bought 6 tubes of it while it was on special!
Destroys gums, doesn't repair them – Apparently I'm not the only person here who wrote a negative review on Oral-B's website and had it taken down. This toothpaste is awful! I took a sample size with me while traveling and I ended up with ulcers on my gums. Don't even bother trying it unless you want to destroy your mouth.
DREADFUL SIDE EFFECT – This product is horrendous! As has been stated in all the other previous reviews this ruins the inside of your mouth! Ulcers and this dreadful side effect which seems to strip the membrane from inside your mouth and make it come out in sticky strings. Disgusting!! I work in hospitality and deal with clients. You can imagine the embarrassment of… Read more
having white stringy-like muccus coming out of your mouth while you are talking and even inhibiting your mouth movements! What is this evil stuff?!? My husband had exactly the same problems with it and it even affected his sleeping.. Terrible!!
Destroyed my mouth – This toothpaste is horrible. At first - it feels super fresh and clean, and then I noticed I had sores on the bottom of my tongue. Then the tip of my tongue. And the sensitivity… I thought I chipped my front teeth (I have never had a cavity at 30 years old - so never felt this pain!) Worried it was something worse - I’m googling mouth cancer,… Read more
herpes - the lot. And then I mention to my partner, my mouth is in so much pain (visible wounds on the bottom of my tongue) and he goes “me too!”, we both are using the toothpaste… I look it up, everyone has horrible reactions and Oral B has done NOTHING but fabricate reviews on their website. Shame on you. This has caused me stress and pain. Take it off the shelves.
Half baked product – Makes a weird white film all over my mouth and tongue that comes out of my mouth while i’m talking to people throughout the morning and makes ur look like I have a dirty mouth. The product has created ulcers on the roof of my mouth and takes far too long to apply evenly. Feels like i’m applying glue onto my teeth. Further, my dentist told me… Read more
not to bother with this overpriced product and told me it provides no benefit to 95% after he checked the ingredients
Terrible – Can't rate this as it has made all the skin inside my mouth peel & have many sores on my lips which is oh so painful Be very careful if you are thinking of trying this product.
HORRIBLE SORES AND ULCERS – I've rotated through multiple toothpastes from various brands, most worked fine. Saw these on sale "buy 1 free 1" figured why not? Now I know why. They are HORRIBLE. These are a public health risk. Literally ulcers popped everywhere as soon as I started using them. I didn't know why, thought it was my toothbrush, or my diet. Nope. It was the… Read more
toothpaste.
Wrote a review on oral B's website, got deleted immediately. The public deserves a right to know the risks of using such products.
Stay clear away if you have sensitive gums. These are bad. Very bad.
Made my lips tingle and numb – After 2 months of lip pain, peeling mouth and chewing on my own face I went to doctors who said they could find nothing wrong. I started researching diseases to do with nerve damage in my mouth. My partner left me because she thought I was crazy. Near the end of the toothpaste tube it finally dawned on me that this all started when I purchased… Read more
this disaster of a toothpaste. 3 days of Colgate and my mouth is slowly returning to normal. Oral B should compensate us, or be fined for this nightmare.
UPDATE: 4 weeks later and my mouth has returned to normal. I gave Oral B a month to negotiate before publishing but I have heard nothing. Suggest avoiding this project at all costs! It's hard to believe that they are still selling this toxic product.

Allergic reaction – My gums and lips felt like they were burning the first time I used it. After the second time my lips were really sore and developed rows of ulcers. I know that I'm sensitive to many items but this was an instant reaction to the toothpaste. Definitely will not use this variety again. To be fair I've not had a problem with other oral b toothpastes for sensitive teeth. Obviously must be a specific ingredient. Show details

Dry mouth – I started getting a dry mouth and the inside of my bottom lip sticking to my gum and teeth. My teeth also felt chalky due to the dryness, drinking water didn’t really help. Coffee after brushing also tasted sweeter. I started getting worried and nearly went to the doctors for a blood test to find out the problem I went away for a weekend and… Read more
took an alternative toothpaste and the problem disappeared. Looking at the reviews I now realise I wasn’t the only one.

Gives you ulcers – I was given a sample tube of this product and decided to bring it with me overseas. Within 5 days of use my mouth turned dry and I had multiple ulcers appearing left, right and centre. I then remembered that last year, I bought a tube of Oral B toothpaste whilst in was on sale and it gave me ulcers too. I threw it away and got a different type of… Read more
toothpaste brand and it went away.
If I could give this product 0 stars, I would. Given the number of reviews on this page from other people with similar experiences, it is definitely the product and not the user. I've never had this issue with other toothpaste brands.
For Oral B to tell other users to visit a dental professional is honestly disappointing. I visit my dentist every 6 months and have had good feedback regarding my gum and teeth health in general. I'm fit, healthy and active. I can say with 100% certainty that it's the product and not me. How could something like this be on the market?!!! Disgraceful.

Beware Sodium Lauryl Sulphate Ingredient – Causes mouth ulcers in people with sensitive mucosa. Also leaves an unpleasant taste in one's mouth. Wish I'd worked out sooner what was causing the issues. Show details

Warning! Takes the skin off your mouth – I had the same experience as others. No ulcers but it certainly takes the skin off of your gums and inside your cheeks. Show details

Don't Use It! – After a few days of use, my teeth have become so sensitive and it stripped a layer of skin from my ENTIRE mouth. I felt a stringy substance at night in my mouth and then realised I could pull layers of skin from my cheeks and gums. I don't know how this has been approved, it needs to be pulled from shelves immediately.

I couldn't rate it lower or I would. Leaves ulcers and made the skin on my gums peel. Same diet, same toothbrush – Had ulcers under my tongue and my bottom gums peeled. Top gums also turned red and bled when brushing with it. Whole mouth had a burning sensation, the pain persists even after brushing. Show details

Worst toothpaste – I would never recommend buying this product, literally felt as though I’ve been brushing my teeth with deep heat. Today is the third and last day I will ever use this product, have woken up with the sorest and most sensitive mouth. Absolutely horrible and crazy how a product like this is being produced.

Dangerous product – I bought this product because I wanted to do more to protect/restore my tooth enamel. The first and only time I used it my mouth and lips would not stop burning. I've never had sensitive teeth but after using this product all of my teeth ached and felt numb liked I've never felt before. Even when I tried to sleep that night my lips were still… Read more
stinging, my tongue was still burning and my teeth were still aching. Never again. A refund should be offered to anyone who buys this product. There is NO WAY I would pass my barely used tube to anyone else. It's completely unusable.

Extremely dry mouth – I brushed my teeth before I went to bed as usual. When I awoke I had a coffee and it tasted so sweet I couldn't drink it. I used the toothpaste again that morning as I hadn't linked the sweet coffee to it at that time.Then I noticed during the day my mouth was getting dry and the inside of my bottom lip was sticking to my gum. I've thrown the… Read more

This product is disgusting – I thought I had an allergic reaction but after reading these reviews it’s the product! How disgusting oral-b! You need to remove this product from the shelves of supermarkets. It has burnt all inside my lips, my tongue, under my tongue and inside my cheeks! It’s painful to eat and ulcerated! I’m absolutely disgusted in oral b and will never buy one of your products again Show details
