Good toothpaste but Turkish, not Canadian
My whole family loves the Sensodyne Novamin toothpaste and I'm happy I can get it quickly on Amazon. However, sellers need to fix the description.

The seller intentionally lied about product origin!
The seller explicitly claimed this is “Canadian” version on Amazon. To make the lie consistent, they even put a small label with “(Canadian)” on the package of the Turkish version toothpaste. However, the toothpaste seems genuinely made by GSK, for the Turkish market, with Novamin ingredients. I tried it and it feels the same as the Canadian and English versions. The expiration date is upcoming August, so you’d better use it right away before it expires. I don’t know why the seller intentionally misled since the Turkish version is equivalent to the Canadian version.

Misleading, but not all bad
Trying to find Sensodyne with Novamin has been an exercise in futility of late. Most sellers are misrepresenting the origin and size of the product they are selling by advertising 75 ml EU product and then delivering foul tasting (IMHO) Indian-made, 70 gram tubes, which are much smaller than the 75 ml tubes. So, not only is the product awful, they are ripping us off on the pricing, as well.Anyhow, yes, the advertising here is somewhat misleading. The origin of the product I received is Turkey, not Canada. The tube size was 75 ml, as advertised (yeah!). The texture and taste is just like the other EU versions that I have used from the UK and Italy - perhaps slightly more minty. The expiration date is 12/2022.Bottom line - I am satisfied with the Turkish product, but still cannot understand why sellers cannot get the origin correct. For me, it really matters, as they are not all the same.

It does NOT contain Novamin :(
There is NO Novamin in the ingredient list (Novamin = calcium sodium phosphosilicate). Probably will work as a regular toothpaste. I bought it specifically for Novamin, so zero stars for that. Returned.

Novamin
No matter what, these are ALL coming from other countries as this is not for sale in America. Even though the listing states Canadian, depending on WHO you are buying it from, it may come from India, UK, or anywhere else. You HAVE to click on the seller you are considering buying this from which will show you where they are located. I do not understand the negative reviews here. This has NOVAMIN, regardless of the country shipped/manufactured from. If you don't "like" this, wait a few more months as Biomin F was approved by the FDA at the end of Dec. 2020 for sale in the US. It will hopefully be available for sale in the US sometime in 2021. Biomin F is supposed to be better than Novamin and has the least amount of fluoride with no SLS, if these things matter to you.As for this particular paste, I like it. I have no objection to the price, taste, or consistency. It does have some small particles in it that reminds me of baking soda, not the flavor but the consistency, and I am assuming that is part of the "Novamin" like much smaller sand granules that you feel after brushing and you may crunch them when you clench your teeth. Don't be alarmed, it really is not that bad and it not not hundreds of them, very few honestly. This does not have any harsh whitening ingredients that will hurt your teeth, but when these tiny nooks and crannies on your tooth's surface are filled, your teeth will naturally appear whiter and will be less painful and sensitive.Biomin Restore is available now (on Amazon), but it does not have the fluoride in it. Maybe you can add your own fluoride by rinse (FIRST before brushing) or prescription paste and mix it for the time being, or just use that as is. Not ideal, but at least we have some options depending on what hoops you are willing to jump through.

Novamin is effective stuff
I've tried other toothpastes that others have claimed were as good as Novamin technology and they were all LIARS! I'm so glad I got these, because I had ordered another set from a different seller and the pics show "powered by Novamin" but it was not. So that made me made & they charged over a lot.

Did not come from Canada, is Turkish
I purchased this version of Sensodyne because Novamin is impossible to find in the U.S., Novamin is fantastic stuff! All indications were that this is Canadian by the listing. However, I received a smushed padded envelope with two boxes manufactured in Turkey. I contacted customer support and was allowed an exchange to return the one I got unopened. The replacement came, ALSO Turkish, in an unpadded envelope and smushed more than the first! I contacted customer support again and told them to review the listing and make sure it was correct (not listed as Canadian) and received a refund. The listing is still here and still incorrect.The listing is bad! Buy here if you want Turkish, not Canadian Sensodyne!

Great toothpaste wish it didn't have to be ordered from out of the US.

Ça fait longtemps que je prends ce dentifrice. Mais comment résister quand c’est 1/3 moins cher par Amazon.

Expensive but very good toothpaste
I've been using this toothpaste for years and have been having a tough time locating it locally for the last month or two. I purchased this 2 pack because I was no longer able to find it in any stores. It is expensive but is very very good toothpaste. Not sure why there are so many reviews about coming from different countries. The 2 pack I received is definitely Canadian as advertised.I contacted the manufacturer Sensodyne and asked if this product was discontinued in Canada as I could not find it anywhere. They suggested that I ask the store to stock it as there was no issue and this product should be available anywhere toothpaste is sold.

Turkish, not Canadian
The product description says this product is Canadian, but the writing on the box is entirely in what looks like Turkish. The ingredients do contain the word "NOVAMIN", but there is no English or French writing on the box.

worth every penny
a friend told me about this a couple of years ago and then it disappeared - definitely more effective against dental pain than anything else i have tried and the flavour is much improved - not so medecinal
