Discuss options: It's difficult to recommend an alternative. Most desensitizing toothpastes have multiple ingredients & most are common to all. You can't be sure which specific ingredient you are allergic to. What was your reaction & how do you know it's the toothpaste? Tom's of maine and mi paste might be alternatives, but discuss with your own dentist as to need and options.

Fluoride gel: You should be tested. If you are not allergic to fl you can use stannous Fluoride gel instead.

Enamelon: Find out from your allergist or dermatologist which components that you are allergic to first. If not allergic, try Enamelon, available through dentists only.
