Sensodyne is a British brand
Consumer Healthcare/Haleon own the brand and roughly 250 million tubes of various Haleon toothpastes come out of Greene county in New York, USA.
but they Brexited
We haven’t left the continent.
Yet!
Don’t be a cunt. This community is for discussion of European (as in the continent including Switzerland) alternatives to US products and services. Not a circle jerk about Brexit and the EU.
fair point, my bad.

Braun is part of gillete which in turn is part of procter and Gamble - aka US companies
I’ve got a Philips Sonicare and it’s fucking revolutionary compared to manual brushing
Not sure what your budget is or how widely available these brands are but I like ecodenta ( https://ecodenta.nl/ only Dutch?) and the humble co (https://www.thehumble.co/).
Currently using a braun/oral-b one myself which I plan to use until it breaks, but I can share with you two companies I like are smyle (https://wesmyle.com/) and smile brush+ (https://smilebrushplus.com/ only German apparently), but haven’t a clue how good they are.
I heard people satisfied with Philips electric tooth brush, but haven’t used it myself.
smile brush+ (https://smilebrushplus.com/ only German apparently),
sounds good [looking at their website] ugh, why is it an USB-A connector instead of USB Type C :(
Would love to ditch my Oral B sonic brush, when it breaks down, and its proprietary charger.
Props on USB-C vs proprietary. I currently own a Chinese Soocas brush that I bought only because it has USB-C. It’s just so simple. No stupid proprietary magnetic system that stops charging due to copper contact points getting oxidized.
Or happybrush, also german, but you need USB C charger
I only know them because I tried their tooth paste when I was in Germany and they didn’t have ecodenta and the packaging looked good. But so far my experience has been good enough to share it, so that says something I guess
and thanks for sharing it!
Jordan Oral Care – Norwegian
Curaprox 🇨🇭
Try store brand first. I have first hand experience with Lidl and it’s good. But then again, my mouth is very tolerant regarding care.
From my country, Portugal, I can recommend Pasta Medicinal Couto.
It’s a staple from decades ago. Never used it but people who do swear by it.
And after this, I think I have to try it.

I was looking into the Sonicare range. Would you recommend? How expensive are the replacement heads?

Awesome thank you so much 🙏

Happy tabs! (happy-tabs.com, not happy tabs.com) Toothpaste tablets with fluoride, because they aren’t anti-vaxxers like many toothpaste tablets
They are as expensive as the more expensive toothpaste because you can’t stretch them out by just using less since you need 1 tablet, but they have 0 plastic packaging, the tablets are amazing for camping, they have 2 sizes of glass containers and the refills are just in paper and cardboard, they have actual reasonable subscription delivery periods and amounts, and they have versions with charcoal of that’s your thing.
(You can find the standard jars, but not refills at Dille and Kamille in Belgium/NL)
How do they feel when brushing your teeth?
I’ve been meaning to try them on hiking trips.
I mean, it isn’t as thick as normal toothpaste, and the taste is different (like every brand switch of toothpaste to be honest), but they got a new formula for much much harder tablets in the beginning of 2025 more like real mints, so they don’t get powdery or fall apart like they sometimes used to.
It doesn’t sit on your teeth as much after you spit before you rinse, I find, but sometimes you get tiny grits in the molars from chewing them if you don’t brush them out well enough.
I find it completely fine, just took a few uses to get used to.
Interesting! I’ll give them a go.
Also, got curious: How many ducks would you say is just enough?
Happybrush makes fantastic electric toothbrushes. They work great, look nice, and are environmentally friendly.
They also have toothpaste.
German company
I buy store brand dm toothpaste for a euro a piece.
I use a Boom Brush electric toothbrush, which is a Dutch company. I use happybrush brushes on there, which is better than the boombrush ones, I would advice against buying the happybrush, though as I had two die within two months.
Georganics is a UK producer of dental products I’m rather fond of. They make the effort to be as environmentally responsible as possible. I use their toothpaste tablets to great effect.
Looks great. I wonder if these come with a travel box?
The toothpaste tablets come with a little jar you can take in your carry-on luggage. Any boxes for travel would probably be sold seperatly.
emmi-dent. Actually ultrasonic.
Pimpant Toothpath, made in France and it’s a powder, you mix it at home with water in a reusable bottle. I’m not sure if they sell internationaly

On a somewhat similar note, just regular toothpaste but in a jar. Thanks for sharing the brand you posted, didn’t realize.
Aquafresh is owned by Unilever, which is British.
I despise funding the UK House of Lords.
But it’s better than Colgate.
Funding the house of lords? 🤔
