You have to get the European version of Sensodyne Repair and Protect to get NovaMin. It's not in the US formulation.

The Canadian version I just bought also seems to have 5% NovaMin.

as the sibling comment notes, the Canadian version also has it: https://www.jeancoutu.com/en/shop/categories/personal-care/oral-care/toothpaste/repair-protect-toothpaste-for-sensitive-teeth-mint/p/060815305547 https://www.jeancoutu.com/en/shop/categories/personal-care/o... https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Sensodyne-Repair-Protect-Sensitivity-Toothpaste/10197829 https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Sensodyne-Repair-Protect-Sensit...

The German version also seems to have stannous fluoride instead of NovaMin, like in the US.

  Mine says "NovaMin" right on the front. There are multiple types of Sensodyne. Btw, what really drives me crazy is that Elmex sells multiple different sorts of tooth paste with the colors green and violett, each. How can a company confuse their customers so much that they buy a tooth whitener paste instead of a remineralizing one? Did the mistake twice...

  Stannous fluoride works well for me, how does it compare to NovaMin? Please share your experience if you've tried both.

Looks like you can get the versions with NovaMin in the US on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-Protect-Toothpaste-powered-NovaMin/dp/B01DPMX7W2 https://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-Protect-Toothpaste-powered-...

  Note the recent spate of 1 star reviews angry that what they received is not the Novamin version.

Can anyone explain why people in the USA aren’t allowed to buy this easily?

  TLDR: regulations The toothpaste maker wants to claim something like "Novamin is useful". In the EU this is treated as for cosmetics, so relatively low bar to clear. In the US this is treated as pharmaceutical, so a high bar to clear. The manufacturer has decided that passing that bar is not financially sensible for them.

Would you know where to get NovaMin mouthwash?
