The only Canadian I know is currently working 70 hours a week and I don’t want to bother him with this stuff. Luckily there are 34 million others. I have tooth decay and sensitive teeth (as does someone else I know). The only toothpaste that helps with the sensitive teeth are toothpastes that have [novamin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NovaMin)in the ingredient list. More mainstream sensitive teeth toothpastes just dull the nerves, novamin rebuilds enamel enough to prevent nerve irritation. In the US, companies stopped selling novamin toothpastes in summer. So now I can’t find any. However Canada and the UK still sell the stuff. A brand called ‘sensodyne repair and protect’ has novamin. I have never tried it myself but was wanting to try it. I was wanting to buy a couple of 75ml tubes of sensodyne novamin toothpaste and see if I and the other person likes them. If so I would probably buy another 10 tubes to last a half a year or so. But in Canada I can only find 3 online stores that sell it. A place called ‘life and looks’, valuevalet and walmart.ca.

Shop for more Adult toothpaste available online at Walmart.ca [https://www.valuevalet.ca/sensodyne-repair-and-protect-extra-fresh-toothpaste-75ml-75-ml-503359.html?gclid=CLGniZ6Ck7sCFSISMwodhHkAMw](https://www.valuevalet.ca/sensodyne-repair-and-protect-extra-fresh-toothpaste-75ml-75-ml-503359.html?gclid=CLGniZ6Ck7sCFSISMwodhHkAMw) I bought a couple tubes from life and looks, but never received them. So I am going to have to write to them, but their delivery didn’t come through (at least not yet, that or it got lost somewhere). Walmart in Canada and valuevalet only ships within Canada. So I may try to find a Canadian (eh) to buy some and ship it to me. I’m not sure, I’m going to check lifeandlooks to get an update on where my package is. Can anyone help me out if this comes up? There are UK sites that sell novamin toothpaste too, but I’m assuming shipping would be cheaper and faster from Canada than from the UK. ---

Amazon sells it **[direct from the UK](http://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-Repair-Protect-Whitening-Toothpaste/dp/B008VPSTOA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)**, around $5 a tube plus $5 postage. Which is a lot for 5.3 ounces. Reviews seem mixed, but when weren’t they ? ---

I don’t think that is the same product. Repair & protect with whitening is not the same product as repair & protect with novamin. I see no mention of novamin in the whitening brand.

From the Amazon link: \* Q: Does this product contain NovaMin? A: Yes it does! NovaMin is specifically why I bought this product as it works very well. Q: does this contain Novamin? I am in US. Thanks A: The tube i got does have the Novamin (I’m in US, ordered from this seller because it was shipped from UK). Took about a week to arrive.\* ---

I have several sample sized tubes which are surplus to my needs. PM me if you want them.
