Crest Toothpaste Contains Polyethylene

Crest toothpaste is a danger to your teeth and gums because it contains polyethylene, a non-biodegradable plastic used in trash cans, grocery bags, bullet proof vests, containers, and other kinds of packaging. The manufacturer of Crest toothpaste, Proctor and Gamble, is saying that it will remove polyethylene from its tooth pastes and that it expects that by March of 2016, the removal should be complete, reports ABC10 on Sep. 15.
For the next 18 months, however, it will be up to consumers to be aware of those blue little specks that can be seen in toothpaste and in one’s gums and teeth. Valley dentist Justin Phillip says when the microbeads get trapped in your gum line, they can let in more bacteria and lead to even bigger problems including gingivitis and periodontal disease.
