Today I went to my local supermarket and was presented with the following brands of toothpaste:

  • Odol-med3 (Aquafresh): Haleon Group 🇬🇧
  • Sensodyne: Haleon Group 🇬🇧
  • Parodontax: Haleon Group 🇬🇧
  • Signal: Unilever 🇬🇧
  • elmex: Colgate-Palmolive 🇺🇸
  • Meridol: Colgate-Palmolive 🇺🇸
  • Colgate: Colgate-Palmolive 🇺🇸
  • Blend-a-med: Procter & Gamble 🇺🇸
  • Blend-a-dent: Procter & Gamble 🇺🇸
  • Crest: Procter & Gamble 🇺🇸
  • Lacalut: Dr. Theiss Naturwaren Gruppe 🇩🇪

You have a big illusion of choice, but in the end most known brands that can also afford advertising are big international groups. I ended up getting Lacalut, the one “made in germany”, which cost double.

edit: apparently it’s not a great choice for many reasons, so i’ll be returning that product and try some of the other recommendations, thanks!

    Ajona is being produced in Germany. I’ve been using it over twenty years and really like it. You need 10% of what you usually use with other brands (lentil size it says on the package) and it doesn’t make you foam up like a rabid bunny.

      Ajona

      I saw this brand doing a bit of research for this post, but I don’t remember seeing it before, it seems DM has many of the brands people like here, Netto doesn’t offer nearly as much
