Mouth Ulcers
9 posts, 9 members
My partner had persistent mouth ulcers for a while last year - I googled the causes as we were sick of 'treating' them and he wasn't overly stressed so it seemed unusual for him to get so many. It turns out Sodium Laurel Sulphate which is found in most toothpastes is a cause of mouth ulcers! We switched him to a natural toothpaste found in supermarkets that is SLS free and he hardly ever gets them now! The only downside is the toothpaste is for kids so is bubblegum flavoured - but with a good mouth wash he's right as rain!
Ahhhh yes, toothpaste can be a nasty culprit but not in my case :).
Years ago I started getting red, dry, itchy patches at the outside corners of my mouth, turns out it was the toothpaste I was using. I now use toothpaste for sensitive teeth and have no problems in that regards, even though it still probably contains SLS (been a long time since I looked at the ingredients in it).
Maybe your partner might be able to use it without any problems? Don't use the whitening one though, that tends to make teeth more sensitive.

I have had persistent mouth ulcers for over 10 years. I could have up to 20 at any one time, and because they last for about a week they cycle, so as older ones heal there are more on the way. It has been so painful I haven't been able to eat, or talk, lots of missed days of work due to mouth ulcers!
anyway, after years of trying different things that worked for a little while then my body would adjust to I discovered bananas were giving me ulcers! So now I have to have a banana free diet :( I had a bite of my daughters banana the other day and sure enough, 3 days later a mouth full of ulcers. I still get them from time to time now, but nothing like I used to. Oracort is the only thing I have found to heal them quicker, it will reduce them from 7 days to 3. It can only be bought from over the counter at a pharmacy though. And other than that I use disprin mouth rinse before eating or so I can talk pain free for about 30 minutes.
