On Amazon are many counterfeited products: there is no quality check, it is just a marketplace.
An expensive toothpaste sounds perfect to scam: ordinary white toothpaste can be very cheap and just by putting some text on the outside it becomes very valuable. One would need a lab to check if its true.
Novamin is very different from other toothpastes. I can feel it with my tongue - my teeth become glassy/hard in like 10 min, and the effect persists to the next day. I can’t speak to anyone else’s experience, but I can detect a scam toothpaste pretty quickly & send it back.
I tried the sensodyne version once, after buying from Amazon. That's not how I would describe it, instead the paste had an unusual warmth to it. Does that sound familiar to you? I'm just asking because I'm curious if I got the real stuff or not, no real way to know.
It doesn’t, but there might be variation between people? For me the toothpaste (sensodyne novamin) has a slightly crunchy feel, and yeah, the smooth glassy coating.
Probably because our regulatory agencies are reactive and spend their time on things other than taking down Novamin international toothpaste imports from Amazon, especially when it's probably the only "restricted" toothpaste in the USA.
