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!

I use this one which is the eco-line store brand of the German drug store DM.

A great alternative with less plastic are also these little dental cleaning tablets. They are basically dehydrated toothpaste. You just chew the tab and then brush your teeth as usual.

interesting, i’ll check those out too!
Im a product blind test in the Süddeutsche Zeitung the dentist gave the highest marks for the regular DM-brand tooth paste - it happens to also be the cheapest one
I buy the store brand of the drugstore (Rossmann): prokudent med. It’s the cheapest, it’s made in Germany and it’s free from sodium lauryl sulfate, which is known to cause Mouth ulcers.
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.
ja geil… 😅
Wenn da schon sowas wie “Naturwaren” oder ähnliches im Namen ist muss ich immer erstmal googeln. Oft sind das so Läden mit Esoterik-Opfern als Zielgruppe denen sie sonstwas andrehen können. Bestenfalls sind überhaupt keine Wirkstoffe drin (z.B. Zahncreme ohne Fluorid, also im Grunde nur Schaum mit Geschmack), schlimmstenfalls halt irgendein Müll, und das ganze lassen sie sich natürlich noch gut bezahlen.
die Quittung habe ich noch, geht dann zurück
