Novamin toothpaste has been life changing for me. Cannot recommend highly enough. A tooth that was deteriorating and the dentist wanted to cap is now fine enough for them to simply keep an eye on.
- blackrock 6y agoI have never heard of this Novamin toothpaste before. Nor has any of my dentists ever recommended it. It looks like the popular brand is Sensodyne.
- elsonrodriguez 6y agoSensodyne does not have Novamin in the USA(insert conspiracy theory here). You'd either have to import it from a reputable supplier, or try an alternative like Apagard or Biomin F(both of those have to be imported too, but are more readily available).
- spyder 6y agoArticle from 2018 about that: "As of the time of this update, Sensodyne toothpaste with NovaMin is now available on Amazon to buyers in the USA, directly from Sensodyne/GSK." https://medium.com/@ravenstine/the-curious-history-of-novamin-toothpaste-620c6bef8881 https://medium.com/@ravenstine/the-curious-history-of-novami... https://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-Protect-Whitening-Toothpaste-Packaging/dp/B008VPSTOA#customerReviews https://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-Protect-Whitening-Toothpast...
- throw1234651234 6y agoThat article really helped me understand what this is all about, ty!
- bemmu 6y agoQuick googling found a funny metastudy: "The articles from the database obtained for further review was N = 1. According to the study..."
- boruto 6y agoHaha, I read the same after googling. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7068624/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7068624/
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoI never heard of Novamin, but I used Sensodyne for years becase it tastes better.
- blackrock 6y agoHas it helped with maintaining the health of your teeth?
- Benjamin_Dobell 6y agoI just started using toothpaste with nano-Hydroxypatite after a recommendation from a friend. Obviously I can't say much about its effectiveness long-term. But it feels amazing. Feels like there's a protective layer over the enamel - hopefully there actually is! Apparently, nano-Hydroxypatite is even more effective than Novamin (which is still good): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5121804/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5121804/ If you're in Australia and struggling to find toothpaste with Hydroxypatite, Chemist Warehouse stock "Healthy Care Sensitive Propolis Toothpaste". So far, highly recommended.
- social_quotient 6y agoTotally agree! The brands I use are - Apagard - Boka - CTx4
- kristofferR 6y agoAnother interesting teeth restoring substance I just discovered: Oligopeptide P11-4 [1] [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligopeptide_P11-4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligopeptide_P11-4
- social_quotient 6y agoI’ve had similar success with toothpastes containing “nano-hydroxyapatite” Amazon has several good ones. I also have 2 kids, the youngest (4 yr old) had cavity issues which required intervention and then we started using the hydroxyapatite toothpaste and had no issues since. I also headed down this path via looking for Novamin. I wish there was a reliable way to get it without the “is it fake” on Amazon. I’d gladly accept any reliable sources.
- Black101 6y agoI ordered some from Canada, made in Canada, using Ebay (about as reliable as Amazon but it doesn't come from India and it is cheaper).
- nickspacek 6y agoI went looking on Ebay but couldn't find anything in Canada, do you mind sharing the brand or keyword?
- Black101 6y agoSorry I was talking about the Novamin one... I think the nano-hydroxyapatite one is available in the US.
- dharma1 6y agoHave you checked out Biomin? It’s meant to be an improved version of Novamin.
