Toothpaste

The right toothpaste makes the daily routine more comfortable and fits the needs of each person in the house. This range brings together toothpaste from Sensodyne, Corsodyl, Colgate, Euthymol, BioXtra, Aquafresh and Kin, covering sensitive toothpaste, gum care, everyday freshness and children's options.

Start with what matters most to you. Sensodyne Rapid Relief and Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum are designed for sensitive teeth, while Corsodyl Ultra Clean is made for people focused on gum care. Colgate Max Fresh Cool Mint and Euthymol Original suit anyone who simply wants a fresh everyday clean, and BioXtra Dry Mouth Toothpaste is made for people whose mouth often feels dry. For children, Aquafresh Big Teeth 6+ and Kin Fluor Kin Calcium Children's Toothpaste are made for younger mouths, so check the age on the pack and supervise brushing. Brushing twice a day for two minutes and spitting rather than rinsing afterwards helps keep teeth and gums healthy as part of daily oral care.

Every product here is stocked at Leahy's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy in Tralee, Co. Kerry, and our pharmacists can help you choose a toothpaste for your needs. Ongoing sensitivity or bleeding gums are worth checking with your dentist. To clean the gaps a brush cannot reach, see our interdental brushes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toothpaste is made for sensitive teeth? +
Sensodyne Rapid Relief and Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum are both designed for people with sensitive teeth, and the second also focuses on gum care. Use a sensitive toothpaste twice a day as directed on the pack. If teeth stay sensitive, or one tooth is particularly painful, see your dentist, as sensitivity can have several causes that need checking.
Which toothpaste should I choose for my child? +
Children's toothpastes, such as Aquafresh Big Teeth 6+ and Kin Fluor Kin Calcium Children's Toothpaste, are made for different age groups, so check the age on the pack before choosing. Supervise brushing for younger children, use only the amount of toothpaste the pack recommends and encourage them to spit it out rather than swallow it. Your dentist can advise on children's oral care.
What is BioXtra Dry Mouth Toothpaste? +
BioXtra Dry Mouth Toothpaste is made for people whose mouth often feels dry, a feeling that can come with some medicines, breathing through the mouth or getting older. It is used in place of your usual toothpaste as part of daily brushing. If dry mouth is persistent or new, mention it to our pharmacist or your GP, as it is worth looking into.
Should I rinse my mouth after brushing? +
Many dentists suggest spitting out excess toothpaste after brushing rather than rinsing with water, so more of the fluoride stays on the teeth. If you also use a mouthwash, try using it at a different time of day, such as after lunch. Follow the directions on your toothpaste and ask your dentist if you have questions about your routine.
