I buy these little pods that turn into hand towels when wet. They're the best for the outdoors or anywhere where you need a towel to wipe your hands or clean something.
I also buy Sensodyne with novamin which you can only buy from Europe. Novamin isn't allowed in the US without paying for a $pecial procedure from your dentist so this is one of the best over-the-counter ways to treat/repair sensitive teeth.
Or you know... One click on Amazon.

And here's an American dentists reply about it in Quora.

Yeah, i found it being sold online on amazon, so I can get like a 6pack of https://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-repair-protect-novamin-pack/dp/B00RZ2OB5Q . My teeths enamel has been seriously damaged because i suffered from an eating disorder that caused me to vomit several times a week, so i was looking for anything that can help undo the damage that caused. Teeth are sensitive and enamel is very damaged.
If you're in the US, order the European version of Sensodyne through Amazon, because it actually has Novamin™ in it. The less-effective US version is the only one you can buy in stores because money.
EDIT: Goofed up. To clarify, anything with Novamin is prescription-only in the US. You can pick up Sensodyne at any US grocery store or Target, but it's a lame version without Novamin.
EDIT: Here is the real stuff on Amazon.
CariFree CTx4 is the brand of toothpaste containing nano-hydroxyapatite that I use. NHA is arguably superior to NovaMin as used in European sensodyne, but I think there's enough research to show that both are superior to plain fluoride.
Carifree actually has a whole suite of products like mouthwash, xylitol gums, mouth-wetting sprays for dry-mouth, etc, that they've developed into an anti-cavity program that some dentists 'prescribe' their high-risk patients.
Here's some of the studies:

>The use of biomimetic nanohydroxyapatite as a remineralizing agent holds promise as a new synthetic enamel biocompatible material to repair early carious lesions.
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252862/
>The nano-hydroxyapatite is a revolutionary material with a wide use in dentistry. With regard to restorative and preventive fields, nano-hydroxyapatite has remarkable remineralizing effects on initial lesions of enamel, certainly higher than traditional fluorides used until now for this purpose. Nano-hydroxyapatite is, in fact, a better source of free Ca, and this is a key element as regards the remineralization, the protection against caries and dental erosion.

>Thirty sound human premolars were divided into nanohydroxyapatite group (n = 15) and the sodium fluoride group (n = 15)...The results showed that the nanohydroxyapatite group produced a surface morphology close to the biologic enamel, the increase in mineral content (Ca/P ratio) was more significant in the nanohydroxyapatite group (P < 0.05) and the SMH recovery was closer to the baseline level in the nanohydroxyapatite group (P < 0.05).
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24960376
>Forty-eight human enamel blocks were assigned to four groups (N=12): (1) control (without agent); (2) fluoride varnish (Duraphat); (3) nano-HAP paste (Desensibilize Nano P); and (4) casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste (MI Paste Plus)...After the cariogenic challenge, the nano-HAP group showed significantly higher KHN and %SMHR values than varnish. The CPP-ACP group showed no increase in KHN. The nano-HAP group showed, via AFM, a protective layer formation with globular deposits on the surface....SMHR and AFM morphology revealed that nano-hydroxyapatite paste showed a protective effect against in vitro enamel caries development.

>nHAP dentifrice caused remineralization comparable to a fluoride dentifrice, and inhibited caries development, thus suggesting that an nHAP dentifrice can be an effective alternative to fluoride toothpaste.

>It was concluded that all the three desensiting agents were effective in the dentine tubule occlusion. In addition efficacy of nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste was greater compared to the other desensiting agents.
Novamin seems somewhat similar, it's a "bioglass" that is supposed to fill gaps in enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity, though it may also promote remineralization. Like I said, it's in sensodyne (interesting, it is not in US sensodyne, only in other countries like Canada and the UK).

>The scoring and the percentage of occluded dentinal tubules by Novamin containing toothpaste was significantly better compared to arginine or the control toothpaste.
