Hi!! I work in a pharmacy and I have spoken to the company for another customer who was asking for the same thing.
To cut a long story short they discontinued the product but then due to demand they are re launching the product in February, So keep any eye out as it will be back soon.

You probably already know this now, but jic you don't......the company lied to you!!

Hi all

I popped into my Local Boots chemist to purchase a dental kit and to my suprise, down below was a stack of Euthymol Toothpaste.

I was so excited as I was down to my last two and thats what I only use. The shop assistant said to me that it should be in most supermarket stores/ Chemist.

Bought it in Boots for £2.00 ........ (I bought 10) to be on the safe side :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

So people out there selling the toothpaste at extortinate prices bye bye

Saw it in Tescos yesterday - glad it's back!

Regarding Euthymol - I'm a dentist and I have to say this toothpaste isn't great. It doesn't contain any fluoride and as such offers no protection against cavities or tooth decay.

If you want the best protection always check the packet to make sure it contains fluoride.

As for the taste - I've found that the Oral B Pro Expert Clean Mint is pretty similar and very strong. Just a shame it's a bit pricey!

Surely what you lose on the flouride you gain on the antiseptic properties?

Fluoride prevents cavities, antiseptic does absolutely nothing at all. In addition euthymol has one of the highest abrasive indices of any toothpaste in other words used regularly it will not only remove stain it will remove enamel as well.

The only thing I would use it for is cleaning bathroom grouting as it is so abrasive it is very good at this.

It must help prevent gum disease if its antiseptic though? Some brands have triclosan in for this purpose.
For those of us who loathe mint, or want to avoid flouride there isnt much choice at all unfortunately.
