In the US, for some reason, toothpaste is regulated as a drug, unlike other countries that regulate is as a cosmetic. Novamin was manufactured by NovaMin Technologies, which was acquired by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in late 2009. GSK wanted to make therapeutic claims about Novamin in their toothpaste, but drug labeling and advertising is heavily restricted in the US. GSK would have to get FDA approval, requiring they run the required studies to collect evidence to support those claims.
The projected increase in revenue did not justify the costs, so they decided to move on from Novamin, resulting in its disappearance from US markets as they stopped supplying it to makers.
The FDA never banned Novamin, nor did any President. It's gone because of the (admittedley) asinine way that toothpaste is regulated.
Here's the actual history:

If you have relative friends etc in Canada India visiting you, ask them to get a few and it will be way more cost effective

Gotta buy Canadian Sensodyne or elsewhere to get the stuff that really, really does a good job.

That's interesting, because in the USA, teeth are not really considered a part of the human body and covered by health insurance. They are these secondary things that require their own insurance called dental insurance. Second class citizens just like eyes.

Now, you could argue Sensodyne should have paid for all the studies and effort, but they felt it was just easier to repack regular toothpaste as "new" Sensodyne. US customers then became in a lose-lose situation.
