Does Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate in toothpaste cause canker sores?

Posted on April 9, 2011

I know that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate causes them, anyone know about this detergent in relation mouth ulcers?
Reality Jack, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I went from using common toothpastes with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate to pastes without it and I noticed a big decrease.

Do ppl who experience mouth ulcers (canker sores) typically exp. cold sores if there infected with the virus?

Posted on January 15, 2011

I get mouth ulcers all the time but never had a cold sore that i can remember. I am very paranoid about kissing/ sharing drinks/ biting another person's food because I fear if i contract the herpes cold sore virus i will also get them frequently.

I know that only 1 third of ppl infected actually get sores so I'm wondering if maybe i'm already infected but just only get mouth ulcers...

Question about gingivitis and Periodontitis can you help?

Posted on January 13, 2011

I am going to the dentist in a couple days but If your gums have white bump on it I heard there called pockets. but its white like puss. does that automacily mean you have Periodontitis? because my teeth are not screwed up. I think I may have been having this for a long time because I had mouth ulcers or sores before but they went away and i had braces my teeth became straight also and then years after the braces I developed an over but and I don't know if they can cause overbite also. its kind of weird because I would expect my dentist to be able to tell if I had gingivitus or not but I have white pockets. and if they did know why didn't they tell me. because I have had my gums bleed before years ago too. I didnt really know what was gingivitis. just know my toothpaste supposed to prevent it so I ignored it because it would better up but recently my gums been bleeding and I am getting white pockets
because my gums been bleeding for years but its like my gums would bleed less and harder to bleed when I brushed my teeth so then I would ignore it. I used to drink lots of orange juice I think thats probably the only reason why it progressed slow

Is there anyway to quickly get rid of mouth ulcers/canker sores?

Is there anyway to quickly cure them besides a salt mouth wash, i would like them to be better before my 15th in 2 days so i can enjoy my party

I Need to Find a Toothpaste with NO fluoride, SLS or Glycerin?

Posted on September 27, 2010

I want to know if there is a toothpaste that does not contain fluoride, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and Glycerin.
Because:

Fluoride causes the fibers in your gums to detach from the tooth/teeth. SLS causes Mouth Ulcers and bad breath. and Glycerin makes a sticky film over teeth that takes 27 rinses to get off and prevents enamel re-mineralization .

I would like if possible to find a toothpaste that contains Xylitol, Calcium Phosphate and hydroxyapatite, if Possible.
Xylitol kills bacteria in the mouth and promotes the re-mineralization process. Calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite help repair tooth enamel.

i would also like suggestions of tooth paste that contain anti bacterial oils such as mint oil.

P.s. I already use Grant's toothpaste, Though i do not like the fact that it contains Glycerin.

I am looking for advice from someone who gets canker sores a.k.a. mouth ulcers. How do you avoid getting them? Do you use a certain brand of mouthwash or toothpaste? What seems to cause them for you? How do you treat them?
