Why Your Toothpaste Could be Causing Your Canker Sores

Brushing your teeth is probably causing your canker sores.

Here's Why

Recent evidence implicates SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), an ingredient found in almost all toothpastes, in the formation of canker sores. Dental researchers in the US and Norway have found that 4 out of 5 canker sore sufferers get significant reduction in canker sores by simply switching to a toothpaste which is free of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate).

What is SLS?

SLS is a cheap synthetic detergent found in soap, shampoo, and floor cleaners. While this incredibly strong detergent is great for cleaning floors, it can wreak havoc inside your mouth.

Researchers have shown that SLS actually causes sloughing of the inside of the mouth, making it susceptible to canker sores. Clinical studies have also shown that SLS contributes to gum disease.

More than 4 out of 5 sufferers experience significant relief from canker sores when they switch to toothpaste without SLS.

Unfortunately, 99% of all toothpastes contain canker sore promoting SLS. Only six toothpastes on the market do not. After extensive comparisons and tests, the SLS free toothpaste we rated best was Squigle Enamel Saver toothpaste.

This toothpaste is superior for three reasons:

  1. It contains absolutely no SLS
  2. It utilizes a patented foaming system which strengthens the oral mucosa, making your mouth even more resistant to canker sores.
  3. It tastes like conventional toothpastes unlike other SLS-free toothpastes which have a "chalky", unpleasant taste.

Here's what people are saying about their experience with Enamel Saver toothpaste:

Two years ago, during a dental appointment, I complained to my dentist about recurring bouts with canker sores in my mouth. To no avail, I was seeking relief through more frequent brushing, mouthwashes, and dosages of Lysine. None of these provided relief and, in the case of mouthwashes and certain toothpastes, the canker sores actually seemed to get worse! I also tried altering my diet; this gave me no relief.

My Dentist recommended that I try a new product called Enamel Saver Toothpaste because several of his patients with similar symptoms were finding good results. I tried it and, I am happy to relate, that I have had virtually no canker sores in my mouth since.

I used to get painful canker sores about every other week. Since I started using Enamel Saver toothpaste, I haven't had any canker sores in months! It really works!!

The first time I saw Enamel Saver Toothpaste was at a health fair. Enamel Saver was introduced as a unique toothpaste that prevents canker sores.

I had been bothered by canker sores for many years. Every time I was on a long trip and became tired, canker sores would appear in my mouth. I tried many products in my search for relief (Orajel, Orabase, etc.) and none of them seemed to help. But when I started to use Enamel Saver, they stopped quickly, and never came back ! I have been using Enamel Saver ever since I found it.

I recommended Enamel Saver to members of my family -- my wife and daughters had the same symptoms -- and they experienced the same prompt relief when they began to use Enamel Saver.

Needless to say, I am quite happy to have found this wonderful product. I will continue to recommend it my friends and associates. There is an old saying, "Good things must be shared with others."

Most of my life I suffered with canker sores [mouth ulcers]. Then I got adult braces, and things got even worse. My son found Enamel Saver Toothpaste on the internet and introduced me to it. I started using it and couldn&39;t believe the difference. My canker sores [mouth ulcers] disappeared completely and have never returned. Enamel Saver also made my mouth feel fresh and clean! If you suffer from uncomfortable mouth sores, this product is definitely for you!
