What's happened to euthymol toothpaste?

HDMI · 19/12/13 - 16:17

Ihave used euthymol for years but it is no longer available in any supermarket or chemist in my area anybody know why

They found it contained traces of fecal matter from pigeons.

It looks as if it has been discontinued, but a reformulated version may possibly be available in 2014. See the third post in this thread:

A little Google search has brought me this:

It still appears to be available on Amazon:

Euthymol is a terrible product, not fit for purpose. It doesn't contain fluoride, which is the main point of a toothpaste.

OP, start using a normal one.

Those who use Euthymol tend to be fanatical about it.

I fear for riots.

Sigurd · 19/12/13 - 16:41

Is Euthymol an old person's toothpaste? That's not meant to be a rude comment (well, only slightly) but Euthymol strikes me as one of those products that harks back to the days when the sun never set on the British Empire.

Not necessarily "old".... just "older".

It was very big many decades ago, so is often the de facto toothpaste of baby boomers. It was the first mainstream toothpaste that also dealt with mouth ulcers, so was popular.

I wouldn't use it though, it's floride-free, which you'll pay for down the line.

According to an American site the brand was introduced in 1898, so it has been around for a considerable length of time.

I can't say I've aver associated it with the baby boomer generation, but clearly some think highly of it.

I think it's because it was their parent's household toothpaste, hence how it's lived on.

Ugh... disgusting stuff. Toothpaste of the Devil himself. That said, if you really want to try something even more disgusting and guaranteed to make you hurl, try Corsodyl Daily toothpaste. :cool:

sad its not here now

I normally get mine from Sainsburys or Wilkinsons. We're currently using it so it must have been withdrawn very recently.

Edited to say I've just read the link, what a b*****er, we use it because it contains no fluoride. I'll have to get an alternative from the health shop.

My GF is going to be devestated

bspace · 19/12/13 - 17:42

described as having a medicinal taste it always tasted like lightly roasted rubber tyres to me

I thought they'd ( Johnson & Johnson ) come up with an ingenious way of disposing of some of those mountains of old tyres you see dotted round the countryside. however I realise it predates the widespread use of such things.

HDMI · 20/12/13 - 15:34

One of my reasons for using it was because it's one of the few that does not contain fluoride that stuff was only put in toothpaste because too many parents can't feed their kids heathy food if they did there would be no need for it in toothpaste or your drinking water

Hey there!
