I seriously can't believe I'm about to write this much about toothpaste. However, if it can even help one other person end their pain, then it's worth it.

I alternate between this flavor and the Sea Fresh Jason's toothpaste exclusively. I used to get *incredibly* painful canker sores in my mouth that would last for weeks. I've always had them on and off, but they started to get much worse as I got older. I would get them every month or so like clockwork, regardless of stress level, work load, sleep schedule, etc. The sores would swap between the inside of my left and right cheeks or near the gum line. I honestly thought I might have contracted some sort of STD until a friend suggested I could be allergic to the chemicals in my toothpaste.

I was skeptical at first, but decided to do a bit of research online. I figured I had nothing to lose but the pain. I started looking up the chemicals in the toothpaste I normally buy from CVS. (Colgate, Crest, whatever...Read more

For years I'd struggled with canker sores, getting at least one or two per month, each lasting a week or longer. There would be stretches where I'd have 2 or 3 in my mouth at a time. The pain affected everything I did.

I had tried home remedies, drug store gimmicks, diet adjustments... nothing helped. Until I gave Burt's Bees toothpaste a try. No Sodium Laurel Sulphates (SLS). That was the magic ingredient I needed to eliminate. When my local Target was sold out of Burt's Bees, I gave Jason a try. Same effects, better price!

Now that Targets in my area (Twin Cities, MN) appear to no longer stock Burt's Bees or Jason, Amazon is the place to buy either (I favor Jason now because of the price and because the tube is cleaner toward the end of its use).

If you suffer from canker sores, give either or both a try. It's worked miracles in my life!

This is the best toothpaste I've ever used. In the past I alternated between Sensodyne and Tom's, and neither left my teeth feeling nearly as clean as this. Tom's was the worst, and I tried many different formulas. I thought there was a problem with my electric toothbrush--until I tried this toothpaste. Think all toothpastes clean alike? Think again. This stuff is wonderful. My teeth feel so smooth it's like you could ice skate over them. Be warned, though, the mint is intense.
