Recent reports suggest that some people get fewer canker sores when they switch to a toothpaste that doesn't contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).
Researchers speculate that SLS dries out the protective mucous lining in the mouth...making it vulnerable to irritants that lead to canker sores.
SLS is a detergent that is in almost all toothpastes, dishwashing soaps and body washes.
Adults & children prone to canker sores should try an SLS-free toothpaste.
Salivary antibacterial enzymes:
Biotene & Oralbalance Contain The Lactoperoxidase Enzyme System
The Mouth's naturally occurring protective system comes from three pairs of salivary glands. When, for any reason, the amount of saliva is disrupted, this important antibacterial defense system is lost.
Only Biotene patented salivary enzyme products are capable of protecting the mouth the same way in which saliva does!
The doctor or dentist might suggest which products to use depending upon what is causing Dry Mouth.
