I may be in luck! My local drug store appears to have both the "old" and "new" formula, and the toothpaste I bought a few months ago was the "old".

I have the Gentle Mint Gel flavor, and on the front in red it states "Protein-Enzyme System", and "Gentle, Low Foaming Formula", which I believe is the old formula. The drug store also had the "new" formula which states instead "Essential Fluoride Tooth Protection" and "Gentle Formula". The type of fluoride is different between the two formulas as Brian noted.

The warning is the same on both tubes, and I check other toothpaste we have and it is on there also. I believe that is a standard warning for any toothpaste that contains fluoride. So why is it that many communities add fluoride to the water?????

Ironically while I was typing this a Biotene commercial came on TV. laugh
