Crest
Crest Kids Advanced Chameleon Fluoride Toothpaste - Bubblegum
The verdict
Kids generally love the bubblegum flavor and find it tasty, but the color-changing feature doesn't work reliably for all users, and some kids find it too spicy or minty despite the fruity scent.
What parents love
- • kids love the taste
- • color-changing feature when it works
- • appealing to children
Worth knowing
- • color-changing feature inconsistent or absent
- • too spicy or minty for some kids
Beyond the listing
Parents and reviewers appreciate the bubble gum flavor as a milder, pleasant-tasting alternative to strong mint toothpastes, and kids are initially excited by the color-changing feature that helps extend brushing time. Some children find the taste appealing and the formula is ADA-accepted for cavity protection, though a few report that the novelty wears off quickly or taste becomes an issue with prolonged use.

- color-changing feature engages kids
- helps extend brushing duration
- ADA-accepted cavity protection
- no strong aftertaste or minty flavor
Comes up as a drawback
