Hey all,

Trying to find a Canadian brand of toothpaste, or at the very least, a brand of toothpaste that isn’t American.

Crest, Colgate, Sensodyne, and Arm & Hammer are all American brands from what I can tell. I already found a Canadian brand called Green Beaver, but they’re one of those “natural” companies that for some reason thinks putting flouride in toothpaste is bad, and I really don’t want to give any money to a company that continues to deny science at this late date.

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you SO much for this! The closest Canadian brand I could get is a lot more expensive, and I’m starting to have trouble affording all these pricey substitutes! Just so I can confirm, here do I find more information?

      All this info was gotten off their Wikipedia page:

      Sensodyne is a brand of toothpaste that was first sold by Block Drug, a Brooklyn, New York-based company established in 1907 by pharmacist Alexander Block.[1]

      In 2000, Block Drug was purchased by Smith Kline Beecham P.L.C.,[11] which became GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK).[12]

      Sensodyne became a part of Haleon, a British multinational consumer healthcare corporation, in July 2022, following the establishment of Haleon as a separate entity through a corporate spin-off from GSK.[14]
