Buy European

Elmex is owned by Colgate.

Elmex isn't European anymore. It was founded in Switzerland, but was acquired by the American company Colgate-Palmolive in 2004.

No-one mentioning the bright white set of teeth on the bottom woman? I think it's a neat detail!

Sensodyne supremacy!

I use Happy Tabs from the Netherlands. Instead of coming in a tube, they are essentially mints in a jar but are made out of dehydrated toothpaste and fluoride. Just pop one in, chew it (don't swallow) and brush.

Super super convenient for camping also. That's why I tried them out. Been using them for 3 years or so

I massively appreciate all these memes highlighting American products.
Either I feel good that I've already fluked into buying more locally.
Or I realise I can do better, and I'm provided some alternatives.

Oxygenol = Finnish

Last year I learned from independent consumer product testing agencies that at least here in germany the best dental care is provided using the most basic and cheap toothpaste from discounter chains, so now I use those. So much cheaper, so much more toothpaste in the tube and actually doesn't secretly fuck your teeth up.

I recently started using Ben and Anna 🇩🇪 because it comes in a glass jar. Also deodorant in paste form in glass jar from 4starlings 🇵🇱

yes i am slavic everything must be in a glass jar like pickles ok

I use Oxygenol, a Finnish toothpaste.

In Italy we also have Curasept and Biorepair!

I brush my teeth the German way:

Morgens Aronal abends Elmex.

In Italy, pasta del capitano

Sensodyne is the absolute shiiiit

Any EU maker of electric toothbrushes?

A link to a reddit post? What was the point of lemmy, someone remind me...

For another morsel of information.

My current toothpaste is rated at 125

Solidox is my go-to. Norwegian brand, made in Sweden. Doesn't look like it's sold outside of Norway.

Bring back the original Parodontax flavor!

I was always under the impression that parodontax and sensodine are for treating something or other based on their marketing.

I use Kemphor by Verkos Laboratories an independent Spanish company and Ohlala by Ohlala Laboratories Paris, a France based business as the name suggests. I ended up using them because they both have toothpaste containing Xylitol, an ingredient that helps in killing bacteria, something that the megacorp brands obviously don't care about.

I use bioniq, which is made by the Dr. Wolff company in Germany. It has hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride.

I have been using Zendium for years, I believe Unilever is from the UK. So, not EU, but at least not the US.

I like Prokudent from Rossmann, it's fairly cheap and they don't go overboard with mint like every other toothpaste.

Unfortunately I bought a brand new Oral-B iO shortly before I started boycotting American products and now I'm kinda stuck with it. I don't want to waste it, but at the same time I'll have to keep buying their expensive brush heads.

I do at least use Sensodyne toothpaste.

A Q U A F R E S H

We have https://professional.sunstargum.com/en-en/#cmp-accordion__item-europe too. There was really nice toothpaste from Urtekram, but it's gone from stores for a year now for some reason.
