ABOUT CREST HEALTHY RADIANCE

Available at mass retail, drug, and grocery stores nationwide, Crest Healthy Radiance is Crest's first and only daily paste and weekly strip system, designed to strengthen enamel below the surface and deep clean to whiten for teeth with healthy radiance. Crest Healthy Radiance Toothpaste System provides a healthy, strong and more beautiful smile from the inside out and when used as directed, whitens up to four times better than the leading whitening paste.

The toothpaste helps remove extrinsic stains using a patented stain prevention polyphosphate technology combined with a gentle silica that whitens teeth and prevents stains from forming.

The deep clean hydrogen peroxide formula, found in the strip diffuses into the enamel and helps eliminate impurities embedded deep under the enamel surface leaving the teeth cleaner and whiter on the outside. The four upper and lower intensive deep cleaning strips are formulated for weekly use, 30 minutes a session.

Together, when used as directed, the Crest Healthy Radiance Toothpaste System strengthens enamel, fights tartar, prevents cavities and removes stains for whiter teeth.

Crest Healthy Radiance is available at mass retail, drug and grocery stores nationwide. The system includes a 4.1 oz tube of Radiant Mint fluoride toothpaste for daily use and eight Deep Clean Strips (four for upper teeth, four for lower teeth) for weekly 30-minute treatments.
