YOUR TOOTHPASTE MAY BE GIVING YOU CANKER SORES (and BAD BREATH)
The most common canker sore cures are often things that we do everyday. Brushing your teeth and doing so carefully is one of the most common ways to cure canker sores.
Many people are sensitive to an ingredient that is found in many types of toothpaste. The ingredient to keep an eye out for is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). SLS is added into most types of toothpaste to cause the foaming action we all have believed is a benefit of our chosen toothpaste. It’s really amazing to think that an act of cleanliness could be the direct cause of canker sores. The foam does not provide any benefits to the toothpaste, but does “fool” the user (YOU) into thinking that a foaming action is related to a “cleansing” action.
When you brush your teeth with toothpaste that contains SLS, you can actually be causing damage rather than promoting a healthy practice that in turn will send you into a panic searching for a canker sore cure. Basically, using a toothpaste containing SLS can easily be compared to using low grade bathing product. Both products instigate dryness and with the toothpaste, this dryness results in your toothbrush actually creating microscopic tears or cuts in your mouth. The dryness is one of several factors that will lead to bad breath. The most common cause of canker sores is believed to be the result of trauma to the mouth; after which you will end up with canker sores. We usually won’t begin our search for a canker sore cure until those pesky and painful bumps have already taken their toll.
