Hey all,

Trying to find a Canadian brand of toothpaste, or at the very least, a brand of toothpaste that isn't American.

Crest, Colgate, Sensodyne, and Arm & Hammer are all American brands from what I can tell. I already found a Canadian brand called Green Beaver, but they're one of those "natural" companies that for some reason thinks putting flouride in toothpaste is bad, and I really don't want to give any money to a company that continues to deny science at this late date.

Thanks in advance!

You can buy bottles of fluoride gel from certain dentists, I had a 500ml bottle after cancer treatment, just mix it with Green Beaver.

While external fluoride is good, kids swallowing too much flouride via paste and flouridated water has shown a softening affect on bones and can alter tooth colour.

Also lookup fluoride toxicity and neurology, it's nasty if ingested.

Thanks! I'll be sure to do that!

Also hope everything is well for you and that it's in full remission!
