Until recently I have been using Tesco's Pro-technic Complete Sensitive toothpaste which has been excellent for my oral Lichen Planus.  It appears it has now been discontinued and I have been unable to find a suitable replacement which cleans my teeth well, treats the sensitivity but does not burn my mouth.  In spite of approaching all the toothpaste companies (who say they are not able to advise) I have not been able to find an alternative.  I have a cupboardful of toothpaste and am getting desperate.

I have been able to obtain a sample of a very mild toothpaste but though it did not burn my mouth it did nothing for the sensitive teeth problem. 

Dentist was unable to suggest a suitable product.  Can anyone help?

    Thanks Gillian ,,my skin is not bad now ,when it was I spent a fortune on stuff ,but found the dermovate was the only thing to get rid of it ,and antyestamin tabs can't spell that ,but they can take them for hay fever ,I think the more you worry about it the worse it gets ,over the past 17yrs iv learnt that ,it will clear up as fast as it comes ,x

    I use Biotene, too.  Also the mouthwash and gel works for me.  I find them at pharmacies like Walgreens, CVS and Kaiser.

    Try tom's of main propolis and myrrh.  I find it non-irritating.  I'm not fond of the licorice flavor of this...but it has not irritated my mouth unless I brush too hard.
