Arm & Hammer Dental Care Advance White Toothpaste, 7.2 oz., 4 pk.

When I first started using it, after several months, I would notice my gums would feel irritated. I would stop using it for a few weeks then go back to it. Same thing would happen after a while. Last year I started using it again and noticed my lips starting peeling. I stopped using it and the peeling went away. I thought it odd. I'm a dental hygienist and love and recommend it all the time. I tried again a few months later and the peeling started again so I discontinued it. A couple of months ago, I was travelling and it was the only toothpaste in my overnight bag so I used it. Immediately, my tongue began to swell and I developed severe burn like reactions on my tongue and in the mandibular vestibules and all over my cheeks. I was in so much pain, couldn't eat, drink, talk. I had no way of getting an RX for a topical steroid until I got back home so I made a concoction of maalox, lidocaine gel, and benedryl liquid (magic mouthwash). So disappointed and wonder what it is about this combo of ingredients that could've caused such a horrible reaction. So much pain, Chat GPT told me not to get on the plane to fly home for fear that it was anaphylaxis.

I have used this toothpaste for many years and never had any issues, but when purchased it last month, I noticed that my tongue was swollen and cracked, my lips were peeling, and the sides of my mouth were cracked little did I think that it was the toothpaste. When another family member mentioned that they experiencing the same symptoms that is when I decided to look and see if others were reporting the same problem. As soon as I stopped using the toothpaste my issues went away.
