I too googled the stringy slimy mucous and it led me to this website. I have been using both the crest pro-health toothpaste and crest pro-health mouthwash. I have now discontinued using these products. I have also used sensodyne and had the same slimy mucous. I think I’ll go back to using Colgate. I never had a problem with their products.

I’m happy to have found out that I’m am not the only one having this stringy white mucous, but after reading the messages I saw that no one else had mentioned using a product other than Crest. I don’t use Crest toothpaste or the mouthwash. I boycotted them after I read they test on animals, but the rinse I use is – Hannaford whitening pre-brush rinse and the strange thing is that the ingredients listed did not include the CETYLPYRIDINIUM CHLORIDE that everyone is talking about is the culprit….it’s got to be something else too! These are the ingredients in the rinse I am going to throw out TODAY: water, alcohol (8%), hydrogen peroxide, sodium phosphate, poloxamer 407, sodium lauryl sulfate (now the MAIN reason why I am throwing this bottle out), sodium citrate, flavors, sodium saccharin, sucralose. Could someone that has the crest toothpaste/rinse see any commonalities between the two brands? Thanks for any help!!

Wow…I have had the same side effects from Crest Pro Health
mouth wash for 2 years I thought I had some kind of Gingivitis problem. My dentist recommend to visit Penn State
for further evaluation after he could not figure out the problem. I had white mucus, tingling, cold score, dry mouth and numbness. I dump the bottle in the sink and will never use it again. This is toxic and crest should be sued.

Wow.. the peeling off of white stringy tissue inside the mouth is now something I understand… it is from the toothpaste. Also, I can finally explain why my teeth are a little darker. Probably from lifelong use of Crest toothpaste… People had said it was from taking antibiotics for acne as a teen… I bet it isn’t from that at all.

Goodbye Crest. Goodbye to the stringy ick in my mouth!

Thanks everyone here for leaving comments. I am really glad you did!

Hi,

I have been getting the white string mucous as well, and I have been using the Crest pro health tooth paste and mouthwash for a while now.

Thanks to this site I will stop using these products, also feel Crest should refund customers for these products

I am so so happy to find out that I’m not the only person having this stringy weird stuff in my mouth after brushing my teeth. I started to suspect that the toothpaste (and the Generic of the brand) was the problem because I couldn’t tie this change to anything else I’ve done. I’m really disappointed in Crest. I should’ve just bought some of the $1.00 stuff.

Wow! I have been having the stringy stuff in my mouth, too, but as a cancer survivor I thought I was just having weird health problems. I have using the Crest Pro Health at night & either the Listerine or Equate Whitening Pre-Brush Rinse for quite awhile now. At my last dentist appointment, the hygienist noticed that my teeth were very stained. I had noticed that my lower teeth were becoming very stained between the teeth. I have also experienced increased sensitivity on these teeth. Like an idiot, I thought it was all the coffee I drink and kept using these products. I have poured them all out and am going back to good old baking soda and see if the dentist can help me out. Thanks to all of you for posting.

I am so glad that I found this site. I too was looking for a solution of why I was getting the white stringy mucous in my mouth after brushing. I too, asked my dentist who seemed to be at a lost since my teeth and gums are in excellent condition. After looking at the ingredients on my Crest toothbrush and reading this blog, I now know what to do.

Thanks again!
