News of a very distressing nature has just reached me - my favourite toothpaste has ceased production. This is no trivial matter. For over half a century the guardian of my teeth and gums is no more

If anyone comes across any of the last remaining stocks of Euthymol toothpaste please would you be so kind as to buy them for me - your expenses and more will be fully taken care of. I'm very serious

For those of you not familiar with this product which used to be available at all the major UK supermarkets as well as Boots, Surperdrug and Wilko. Here's a "mug" shot:

Still available on line and they deliver to Europe.

Ah memories! Just reading the name brings back the unusual smell, and recollections from 30+ years ago of my late father who always used that brand.  Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Gentlemen
Firstly many thanks for the swift response - very much appreciated.

Just checked those links and it does appear that there is some enormous profiteering going on here, unless of course that the price shown is incorrect. For example last year the normal price in Morrisons was £1.79 per 75ml tube, and Boots had a 3for 2 at £1.99 a tube.

I'll investigate those two online retailers in depth.

However if anyone comes across the "normal" pricing I am prepared to pay a premium on that.

...

You could stock up at a reasonable price . £2.81 a tube

it does contain this quote:

For everyone who is concerned at the lack of Euthymol on the shelves right now, Johnson and Johnson have explained they are currently experiencing supply problems. They have said they are likely to have the product back on the shelves in early 2014.

From wikipedia: Johnson & Johnson Ltd, the makers of Euthymol, had temporarily stopped the supply of Euthymol toothpaste in mid-2012 while the product was reformulated due to changes in the European Cosmetics Regulation. The new formulation of Euthymol was released to supply chains in January 2014 and was available in stores in February 2014.

From the Johnson & Johnson website: Your search - euthymol - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "euthymol".

Looks like the "Pink Paste" gold rush has already set in:

Yes J&J press releases are out there as I've just discovered from the Daily Telegraph report above.

But it won't be the same product despite what they may claim. How many times have we heard from the mega brewer when after taking over a local brewery they shut it down and then "transfer" the brand to one of there mega cheme plants to brew the pint. It never taste the same.

I need to hunt down the original and, from this day on until supplies are secured her indoors to whom I introduced Euthymol will now no longer have access to my Euthymol. She can go back to her own Swiss toothpaste

Ay up Athelstan!
How about Steradent
No offence intended, I couldn't resist it! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I've still got all my own teeth - and a receipt to prove it. They're just like bright shining stars - come out every night.

I've already got my coat (and some Steradent.....) Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

No offence taken.
Indeed that mention of Steradent made me smile as I once knew of an unfortunate neighbour that in his late 30's who paid little attention to the health of his knashers ended up before his 40'th with a Steradent looking after his top and bottom set

For myself I am very happy to report that I have seldom contributed to the financial well being of the dentistry profession having needed to visit a dentist only four times since 1973. Prior to that one had in those days the NHS taking care of ones teeth throughout ones 26yrs of schooling and academic years
