If you are in the US, like me, you might not be aware of Novamin toothpastes. They are available in other countries. It is my understanding that it can enclose dentin tubules exposed by enamel loss.

I was considering this recently based on a thread from last week:

Do you have a reliable source to purchase? I've no interest in purchasing via Amazon, wouldn't feel comfortable trusting the content.

I've had bad teeth since adulthood, partly due to a medication changing the pH of my saliva, and partly due to a Pepsi addiction.

I swear by the Novamin tooth paste, my life has gone from always having small aches and icing in my teeth to my teeth hardly being a factor anymore.

CPP-ACFP (a.k.a. Recaldent) is better than Novamin, at least according to one study:

I have, after years of deliberatng, decided to use an electric toothbrush. Its been 2 years and I want to know what I should be expecting. Maybe I am sleepy when I a brushing so I don't notice but asking still.

Novamin sounds interesting. Its available here on amazon so I might splurge on it but again, what I am to expect out of it as opposed to regular Colgate ?

For me it removed that icy feeling.

been doing nano-hydroxyapatite for the same reason. I use stannous fluoride based toothpaste in the morning and nhdpa at night before bed.

Isn’t Biomin the same thing
