Today I went to my local supermarket and was presented with the following brands of toothpaste:
- Odol-med3 (Aquafresh): Haleon Group ๐ฌ๐ง
- Sensodyne: Haleon Group ๐ฌ๐ง
- Parodontax: Haleon Group ๐ฌ๐ง
- Signal: Unilever ๐ฌ๐ง
- elmex: Colgate-Palmolive ๐บ๐ธ
- Meridol: Colgate-Palmolive ๐บ๐ธ
- Colgate: Colgate-Palmolive ๐บ๐ธ
- Blend-a-med: Procter & Gamble ๐บ๐ธ
- Blend-a-dent: Procter & Gamble ๐บ๐ธ
- Crest: Procter & Gamble ๐บ๐ธ
- Lacalut: Dr. Theiss Naturwaren Gruppe ๐ฉ๐ช
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 โmade in germanyโ, which cost double.
edit: apparently itโs not a great choice for many reasons, so iโll be returning that product and try some of the other recommendations, thanks!
I buy the store brand of the drugstore (Rossmann): prokudent med. Itโs the cheapest, itโs made in Germany and itโs free from sodium lauryl sulfate, which is known to cause Mouth ulcers.
Wenn da schon sowas wie โNaturwarenโ oder รคhnliches im Namen ist muss ich immer erstmal googeln. Oft sind das so Lรคden mit Esoterik-Opfern als Zielgruppe denen sie sonstwas andrehen kรถnnen. Bestenfalls sind รผberhaupt keine Wirkstoffe drin (z.B. Zahncreme ohne Fluorid, also im Grunde nur Schaum mit Geschmack), schlimmstenfalls halt irgendein Mรผll, und das ganze lassen sie sich natรผrlich noch gut bezahlen.
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.

Ajona is being produced in Germany. Iโve 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 doesnโt make you foam up like a rabid bunny.
