Great Option for Canker Sufferers,
June 21, 2010 R. Whittaker (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biotene Dry Mouth Toothpaste, Fresh Mint Original, 4.5-Ounce Box (Pack of 4) (Health and Beauty)
I don't have "dry mouth" but I am very prone to canker sores and I used to get a few at once. Every one of them were red and painful. If you suffer from cankers and you don't know what SLS is, I emplore you to find out. The last two years I have been relatively pain free just by switching to toothpastes that DO NOT contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). It's a foaming agent that is put into most toothpastes and it also dries your mouth - exacerbating a "dry mouth" or chronic canker condition. I still get a canker here and there, but I would say it's 10% what it was, and when I do get them the pain is 20% of what it used to be.
Biotene is not the only SLS free toothpaste, but it is a very good one and it is common enough to rely on the fact that your local retailer will carry it if you need to replace it quickly. It's a very light mint flavor and it does foam a little bit - unlike most SLS free toothpastes that seem to just dissipate in your mouth - so you almost feel like...Read more

Great for canker sores,

This toothpaste is great for preventing canker sores. I suffered from them my entire life and I experience them considerably less now that I am using this toothpaste. This is because there is no SLS in the toothpaste. I highly recommend this product if you suffer from canker sores.

Costly But No Canker Sores,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biotene Dry Mouth Toothpaste, Fresh Mint Original, 4.5-Ounce Box (Pack of 4) (Health and Beauty)
I bought this because it is free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which I read is a major cause of canker sores, and incidentally is the exact same ingredient that makes shampoo foam! I'm happy to report not a single canker sore since I switched over to this product several years ago. It really works. This product is costly, however; much more than regular toothpaste. I wish the price would come down. I've never had a problem with Dry Mouth (whatever that is), so I can't speak to that.
