Been using Arm &Hammer Advanced White toothpaste. Experienced burning lips.I've noticed the inside of my cheeks and lips are sticking to my gums. Also severe chapped lips that won't heal. Googled the toothpaste and found others are experiencing similar issues. I WILL NOT CONTINUE USING THIS PRODUCT.

This toothpaste whitened my teeth beautifully but left my mouth swollen and bleeding. It took me at least a week and a half to figure out the cause of my sore, dry mouth. By the end of the 1.5 weeks my lips, gums, and under my tongue had doubled in size, and my entire mouth had large red bumps covering it. The pain has been so bad that it wakes me up in the middle of the night. I have never been more uncomfortable in my life and I had braces on for 4 years. That being said, my husband has had zero issues with the toothpaste. The whitening power isn't worth the risk in my opinion though.

Never had chapped lips! started using the arm & hammer whitening toothpaste and started experiencing a weird tingling sensation all over my inner lips and gums! my lips grew double with a red rim around the bottom lip. Tried anti-fungal and antibiotic creams... nothing helped. decided it must be the toothpaste. Looked up the reviews and couldn't believe my eyes! So many people experienced the same problem! There should be a warning on the tube!

I’m a Colgate girl, but this was on sale, and I thought I’d try the Arm & Hammer Advance White Extreme Whitening. Didn’t like the taste, but I figured I’d get used to it. It sort of burned, but I thought- ah, that’s probably good…it’s doing its thing. About a week in, and it’s crazy. My bottom lip swelled so much that I couldn’t close my mouth. It hurt to move my tongue. The insides of my cheeks, gums, under my tongue, the area behind my lips and my entire tongue are burning! I have red spots everywhere inside my mouth. It got so bad that I went to the doctor today. Blood work all perfect. Doc said some kind of allergic reaction but unsure what, as we went over everything I ate and drank. Never dawned on me that a new toothpaste would be the cause! Then I google my symptoms and see a blurb about toothpaste- this one in particular. I found all of these reviews like mine, and I was floored to see how bad it was. I am now on steroids for a week, and they’re sending more blood work out to rule everything out. Told the doctor what I found about A&H, and she said stop using this. I just pray that it gets better because this pain sucks! Only good thing is that it hurts to eat, so maybe I’ll lose a couple pounds! It is insane that this is still being sold. Some of these reviews date back 8 years!

Damaging my mouth in similar ways to the other reviewers. It took me a while to put two and two together, the toothpaste always burned. Over time my mouth got more sore and torn and damaged and my lips too until one day after brushing my teeth I realized the culprit... I thought I was sick or something.

I was told that I am allergic to sodium lauryl sulfate which is in Arm and Hammer tooth paste my month burned, swelled I could not even whistle I was told to stop using the tooth paste and shortly after the symptoms went a way I used Colgate for the last year no problems a week ago started using Crest 3D white forgetting about what happened to me before and again the symptoms appeared now looking at the ingredients is sodium lauryl sulfate I will always look at the ingredients before buying tooth paste or month wash.

Like several other reviewers, I have sore, bleeding & burning mouth. I also thought I must’ve burnt my mouth, but realised that it was getting worse. I used a different toothpaste this morning and my mouth didn’t feel anywhere near as sore when brushing. I have obviously come to the conclusion that it’s the toothpaste, so it’s going in the bin.

My whole mouth became blistered and dry. The skin was peeling off the inside of my cheek and became raw. My lips are so dry I can't keep enough chapstick on them. It has made me feel totally miserable. I never in a million years thought that a toothpaste could do so much damage. With all the bad reviews I have seen I can't believe this product is still on the market.

I am fortunate in that I did not experience the burning that many other reviewers spoke of. However, after three days of use, I started to notice tiny blisters at the outer edges of both my top and bottom lips, and this morning when I woke up, my lips are swollen to the point that I look like I've had lip augmentation! I had recently bought a new tube of lipstick, but I've used the Lancôme brand for years and I didn't think that was the problem. I decided to google Arm & Hammer toothpaste, and I was in shock at the posts citing allergic reactions! I'm going to try Benadryl to see if it helps with the swelling, but I will NEVER again use their products.

Why does this product cause so much damage to my lips? It's like battery acid! I thought I trusted Arm & Hammer...not anymore. If I could get my money back, I'd spend it on postage to send letters to the company to STOP MAKING THIS PRODUCT because I do not believe anyone at the company will read this review or do anything to stop others from experiencing pain from use. It's like the #metoo of toothpaste.

after using the toothpaste twice, I noticed swollen gums and lips. I stopped using it, but I have terrible burns on my lips, around my mouth were painful sores and cracks. it has been three weeks since the incident, and still I hurt a lot.

In my experience use only at night before bed, make sure you rinse thoroughly and apply a generous amount of moisturising cream to your lips afterwards eg vaseline, blistex or even nappy cream would do. Like most of the reviews written about this toothpaste I too had problems with very sore chapped like lips, thankfully no ill effects inside my mouth as experienced by other reviewers and again like others it took a while for me to realise what was causing my discomfort. In its defence the toothpaste is the only brand I have tried that really does keep my teeth looking whiter and having kept to the routine mentioned above I am continuing to use it trouble free.

Recently bought this tooth paste..., after brushing my teeth today I noticed my gums on the lingual surface of my lower incisors were swollen, bleeding, inflamed and felt like I had burnt it on boiling water. Not realising it was the toothpaste at the time causing this trauma I used it later that day with the same results. Quite terrifying an over the counter toothpaste can cause this kind of reaction. Generally my gums are not sensitive and I'm not allergic to anything so it was a shock to me.

Awful toothpaste! I used this once and when I spat out the foam it was thick with blood. I thought I had an STI! Turns out the whitening agent is an abrasive that tore my lips to shreds. Do not use!

I typically use a baking soda and peroxide based toothpaste, however, this one burnt my mouth and lips horribly. My lips peeled in angry shreds, and my gums were swollen, sore, and bled easily. As soon as I switched back to my old toothpaste and ditched this demon product my mouth returned to normal. I would only recommend this to my enemies.

For the past few months, I've noticed some chapped and cracked skin in the corners of my mouth. I've never had this condition in my life (I'm 55 years old), and it's painful because these small cracks at the corner of my mouth split open nearly every day. And my mouth has been so dry when I wake up, my front teeth are actually sticking to the inside of my lips -- again -- nothing like this has ever happened to me. I couldn't figure out what the problem was and then, when it started occurring to me that it could be the A&H Extreme Whitening Toothpaste with Baking Soda and Peroxide, I made extra sure to rinse the corners of my mouth after brushing. Still no change. Today at lunch the inner corners of my mouth split open again. So just now I did a web search and found that many other people are experiencing the same problem, which resolved when they quit using this toothpaste. So effective immediately, I am no longer using this product.
