According to Procter & Gamble, the company behind Crest, the toothpastes still offer the "foundational benefits needed for oral health including cavity protection, cleaning, fresh breath, and whitening"--despite their less-than-usual flavoring. The toothpaste doesn't actually contain chocolate--it relies on sodium fluoride and flavoring--although some dentists say that certain components of chocolate (like cocoa butter) could actually help coat your teeth and keep plaque from sticking to them.
