Pretty much any store-brand toothpaste is probably going to be a lot cheaper than “branded” products, and will have the required amount of fluoride within it to keep your teeth healthy which is far and away the most important ingredient in any toothpaste. The entire toothpaste industry is mostly all marketing.
Yeah, there’s definitely exceptions for people with special requirements. Toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain ingredients like potassium nitrate that wouldn’t be in the generic, store-branded ones.
I don’t have sensitive teeth, but Sensodyne is one of the very few that doesn’t try to make it “taste good” or whatever. Most toothpaste remind me of people who use half a bottle of perfume when going out.
Okay, I might not have sensitive teeth, but compared to the average person I seem to have a sensitive nose and tongue :D
I pay the extra bucks for European Sensodyne because it has Novamin in it.
Novamin is like magic, and there is no reason it should have been taken off the shelves in the US (I suspect it’s heavy lobbying by the American Dental Association and the Teeth Fae People). Novamin binds and helps remineralize your teeth, very helpful for sensitivity and in conjuction with fluoride can get into the subsurface and helps actually repair the teeth.

I will say that as someone with sensitive teeth, Sensodyne actually is legit though.

Nice try, but I refuse to use any toothpaste that isn’t 3D and HD.
In that case, I’m selling some overclocked toothpaste if you’re interested. Kinda pricy though.
