Reformulation at the cost of customers'dental health – SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE - NEW FORMULA IS DANGEROUS I've used this for years, after I ran out I accidentally bought the whitening total care, caused massive teeth sensitivity, ulcers and blisters.had to see dentist and spent weeks using sensitivity toothpaste and waiting for my gums, cheeks and tongue to heal while my teeth went back to normal… Read more
sensitivity (none). Realised my mistake and purchased the all round protection (non-whitening allegedly) instead as I had always intended, after two days of use my teeth ate sensitive again. Goodbye Oral B. Never again.
Reaction – Have just used the new oral b clinical 3 d whitening and I have a blister on my tongue and my lips have swollen terribly, anhistamine isn’t kicking in yet Show details
Ulcers and mouth peeling – Mouth burned for a few weeks and then my gums and inside cheeks started peeling. It’s horrific. I have never experienced anything like this. Husband got ulcers from it too. This should be taken off the shelves Show details

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS!!!! – I strongly advise against purchasing this product. After using it for just one week, I experienced a severe outbreak of mouth ulcers. At any given time, I had at least 10 of them, and each day brought new ones. The pain was unbearable, causing me to cry whenever I ate or drank anything hot. Additionally, the skin inside my cheeks and on my tongue… Read more
started peeling, and my gums became sore. Thank goodness, after switching to a different toothpaste, my mouth has returned to its normal state. It's concerning that this product is readily available for purchase at stores and chemists, and I fear that it may have caused even more damage that I am not aware of.
Painful allergic reaction to this toothpaste – For the past few days I’ve had a very sore and painful mouth. The skin has peeled off the inside of my mouth. My tongue is swollen and fat to the point where it rubs painfully on the edges of my teeth when I try to talk so I’ve had to stop talking :( I’ve been on the verge of tears for days from the pain and not knowing why because I couldn’t… Read more
think of any changes in my diet etc until I was brushing my teeth tonight and noticed it was starting to tingle and feel painful again. Then I realised that the same time period I’ve had pain and swelling in my mouth is the same period of time that I started using this toothpaste. It is the only difference. Out of curiosity I googled the toothpaste with the words painful swollen tongue and these product reviews came up in the results. I’m pretty convinced that I’ve had an allergic reaction to this product much like the other people here. Please stop selling this toothpaste. It is a horrible product. I have had the most miserable time since I’ve been using this toothpaste and now I’ve already brushed my teeth with it tonight so I’m going to be in pain again for a few more days at least until the swelling goes down. Not happy
Side note - I purchased this product last month from Woolworths just before Xmas but didn’t start using it until this week as I was still using the remainder of my last tube of toothpaste
These should be taken off the shelves – Burning tongue, sore mouth, locked jaw and could hardly talked. Show details

Oral B Whitening - immediately suffered from swollen lips post using it – I used it to remove green tea stains. Used a small amount a few times to brush my stained teeth today. The effect is okay. Although immediately after using, I suffered from swollen lips!!! As big as Angelina Jolie's lips! Except that it is unbalanced swollen lips! I think it is the chemical in it that caused my lips to have reaction! Show details

Buy the best forget the rest – I have been using this toothpaste for a while now and not only does it make your teeth whiter and stop sensitivity it also tastes GREAT. So I don't know where all these other reviews came from but they obviously don't know QUALITY when the see it and taste it. All they have done is run it down. I cannot stand people that give a product a bad name… Read more · 1
when it is extremely good to use. That is why I am writing this which I did not intend doing but feel that is my right to put things in proper perspective. I have given this toothpaste 5 stars and would give it more if I could.
I love it. Makes my teeth white and breath smell great – This has got to be the best toothpaste ever. I used to like Colgate total, but found this product so much better. Show details · 1
I love this but – Yes, as a previous reviewer, skin peeling off my guns. It's my favourite toothpaste ever, but my dentist has threatened if the peeling doesn't stop, she will recommend going to a brand I dont like . I dont want to upset my lovely dentist! Help!!! Show details
Negative reviews
Nasty new formula – This Oral-B has been my go to for a while now. Used to love the flavour, but as other reviewers have pointed out, the new made in China formula (previously made in Germany) is nasty. It is so foamy it's like having soap in your mouth, and the flavour is not as minty, it has an off-putting caramel like taste. The 24 hour protection claim has also been removed from the packaging. The only positive is the new cap. Please bring back the old product. Show details
Dont buy it – Strangest toothpaste i've ever used. Made all the skin in my mouth peel off in large amounts. Kept waking up in the night to spit out chunks of skin. I googled Oral B and google filled in the rest of the words skin sloughing. Says to me this must be a common issue with this product. Crazy reading all these bad reviews. Show details

Caused ulcers, blistering, burns, tears bleeding on gums and inside of cheeks and a swollen sore tongue – It's quite shocking to see how many negative reviews this product has received. Despite there being so many complaints and consumer concern around this product, in regards to health and safety, Oral B or P&G don't seem to take any notice or serious approach to resolve or make good on the the obvious health issues many of us have endured due to… Read more
this company's negligence. There isn't any sign or warning on the box or tube itself stating that it may cause pain, discomfort, loss of taste, mouth ulcers, tears, bleeding gums, dry and sore lips all of which can lead to more serious risks for infections. We are met with a lousy automated response. It's just not good enough and it's concerning that these people couldn't care less how their product is misleading and harmful. Like many others, who have already shared their shock and disbelief, I don't understand how this toothpaste has made it on the shelves. I doubt it's even been properly tested. The implications that can arise from the damage this toothpastes causes can be severe in some cases. Still, they don't care. I got an infection due to my mouth being shredded by this toxic garbage. It's not just a handful of people who have experienced harm. It's more like every other person has experienced some horrible side effects without notice or caution.
I first used this toothpaste because it was on special and I thought Oral B to be a reputable brand. The first time I used it I noticed it was nothing like other toothpastes as it didn't foam up at all. It has a strange flavour and rinsed out pretty quickly before I could even finish brushing. Nothing major yet. A few hours later I noticed a mucous like feeling of tissue in my mouth and I pulled it out to see thick skin from my cheeks and gums. I didn't think much of it as I have had this happen before with other brands of whitening toothpaste. However I thought it was oddly strong because I haven't had this happen for a long time and thought I was used to this and I hadn't been using strong or whitening toothpaste before this one I brushed it off (pun not intended). The next few days I continued to use this product and the same thing would happen but I thought it was just a harsh toothpaste and I'll get used to it. I didn't. It got worse and worse. It was painful after using it for 3 days in a row. I didn't think that the toothpaste was harming me for some reason I just thought my mouth will adjust soon. After 1 week I couldn't do it anymore and haven't used it for 3 days now yet the state of my mouth has gotten worse after discontinuing. I have several ulcers on both side of my cheeks and blistering on my gums. Underneath my tongue is so painful it feels like I've cut it with sandpaper. The corners of my mouth sting every time I open my mouth so speaking hurts. My lips have also been peeling and have been left raw and sore. I have an infection due to the amount of cuts and open wounds in and around my mouth. I don't even have a problem with sensitivity. As I've mentioned, I'm used to whitening toothpastes and have never before experienced such a horrible and horrific experience with any oral care product like this one. It's absolutely toxic, harmful garbage. Imagine what it could do to your insides if you accidentally swallow some or not rinsed It out well enough. Don't purchase this crap. It is poison. The TGA should definitely investigate this. I wonder if we could put in a request for them to do so. It could even be grounds for a class action law suit. Sure is worth a try to get this crap off the shelves.

Horrible toothpaste that causes blisters in your mouth – I just searched for this toothpaste online because I wondered if anyone else is suffering like me. Myself and my husband used it a couple of times and we both have blisters under our tongues and on the inside of our gums. We're in so much pain. This is the second time it's happened. I bought the toothpaste a few weeks ago, we tried it and this… Read more
happened so we stopped. We agreed to try it again and the same thing happened. I have never had blisters in my mouth before. I also can't believe this product is still on the shelves.
Don't Buy Burns Your Mouth – Only recently purchased this toothpaste and it burns your mouth. Slimy white film appeared after each brush and mouth has been burning everyday since. I will never buy Oral B again, going back to Colgate. Show details
Left my tounge burning – Every time I've used this toothpaste, it has left my tongue feeling so sore. It almost feels like when you eat something really hot and your tongue is sore for the next 3-days. It's so uncomfortable, to the point where every thing I've eaten hasn't tasted like anything because my taste buds are impacted. Would not recommend this toothpaste to… Read more
anyone, and looks like I'm not the only one with this experience. My local Superdrug was pushing this toothpaste on anyone who came to the checkout with a different toothpaste. So annoyed I let them talk me into buying this one. I can see why they're trying to get rid of their stock. Beware!!!
Caused ulcers on under my tongue and in my gums – This product causes me several painful ulcers under my tongue and on my gums. Can’t believe this has been the case for so many others and still on the shelf. How was this passed TGA approvals?! Show details

It BURNS! Take off shelves! – Burnt the inner parts of my lips, left a reddish raw colour to the lips after brushing; awful and intense stinging, could not consume water. Should be taken off the shelves for everybody's safety. Potential for younger person to be liable to more significant damage. Show details

Burn my gums! – This product burnt my teeth and gums which cause a white mucusy slime to be left behind after each wash. I later found out this was my actual gum. Left cuts all over my mouth. Do not use this product. Show details

Tastes like deep heat! – This toothpaste is horrible. It does not foam like other toothpaste no matter how much you add to your brush. So doesn't feel like it brushes your teeth properly. The taste is horrendous, I liken to eating deep heat. It leaves my mouth and tongue tingling and I have a weird jelly like substance in my mouth post brushing. How did this even get through testing?

Why would the company put something dangerous on the shelves, riiiight???) I work in a… Read more

Bad reaction for me and my daughter – This product caused painful mouth ulcers for my teenage daughter. I had a few ulcers myself with patches of skin peeling off inside of my mouth after each use. The toothpaste burnt and felt scratchy after each use. I changed my toothbrush thinking that was the problem but same issues. It sounds to me it hasn’t been thoroughly safety checked. I’ve never had a problem with any other Oral B product. I’m switching back to Colgate after this . Show details

Peeling mouth - something is wrong with this toothpaste – Have been using this toothpaste for the past week and about an hour after brushing the skin in my mouth begins to peel. I am left with white gunky skin floating around in my mouth and on the inside of my lips. Would not recommend this toothpaste to anyone and it’s concerning that Oral B are allowing this product to be sold. Show details

Worst Toothpaste I’ve ever used – Horrible toothpaste. Feels super acidic in mouth, burns tongue, burns skin and gums and leaves a gross congealed skin / gunk behind after brushing and rinsing my mouth. Judging from all of the other reviews, looks to be everyone else experience. Don’t touch this with a 10ft pole. Show details

TERRIBLE – This toothpaste has burnt my mouth almost lioe chemical burns through out. Leaving me without taste, a very sore tongue & sores all through out my mouth peeling on my cheeks and lips.
