All this entry needs is a large illustration of a tube of Crest to be an advertisement. Why is this separate from Toothpaste? Wetman 03:58, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yeah. I tried to make it neutral, but it still sounds like an ad. Most of the information is from Proctor and Gamble's history. It's a fairly important brand of toothpaste, though, and I think it should get its own article. There's more to be said about it. --Dreamyshade 04:03, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I wasn't trying to make it sound like an ad, and I agree, there does need to be an article on this brand. Mike H 16:45, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image removal

I removed the link to [Image:Tv_the_apprentice_mike_piazza.jpg]. It doesn't add any information to the text. I'd probably leave it if it was a free image, but it's copyrighted, and I don't think there is enough significance here to justify fair use. Dreamyshade

[edit] Name

This should be renamed. Crest is toothcare, not toothpaste. Bttfpromo 01:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Could you elaborate on that? (For example, why does the tube say 'toothpaste'?) -SCEhardT 07:41, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The Crest line of products does not include just toothpaste, it also includes toothbrushes, mouthwash and a number of other things. (Examples: Spinbrush, Whitening Expressions, Whitening kits) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.87.193.126 (talk • contribs).

Ah, yes. I guess Crest (brand) would be a good name. I think someone who knows more about the company should expand the article so that the current content is in a 'toothpaste' section of the main article (and then move the page). -SCEhardT 20:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invented at Indiana University?

Is it true that Crest toothpaste was invented at Indiana University?--75.34.1.45 00:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Kind of? Researchers at Indiana University first discovered that fluoride helped prevent tooth decay. They sold the formula to Procter & Gamble, who make Crest toothpaste. -- Merope 17:43, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
