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:

Gotta buy Canadian Sensodyne or elsewhere to get the stuff that really, really does a good job.
Some of Sensodyne's toothpastes (though not all) are free of SLS. Arm & Hammer makes a line called Essentials [amazon.com] that doesn't have SLS either, if you like their baking soda toothpaste. The Arm & Hammer one is also free of several other types of chemicals, if you care about those things.
Likely you were having failing enamel, and started using Sensodyne. It armored the teeth, but it's not a cure all.
Then you stopped and the weaker enamel got exposed.
Bottom line, Sensodyne buys time. Especially variants with Novamin. But it can't save failing teeth.

In reality, they sought out the flu shot because flu was spreading locally, and then got the flu - before the shot could kick in.
