speaking of being tired

Turns out I accidentally bought a little tube of cinnamon toothpaste. Which is a little freaky, but ok.

I get canker sores quite frequently; in fact, I have one right now! I'll definitely look into an SLS-free toothpaste. Thank you for the suggestions and information.

Good luck! My previous dentist (now retired) just happened to read a research article many years ago, when the SLS link to mouth ulcers was a new discovery. I switched toothpastes and was soooo happy! You'll need to look for the more obscure brands. The popular "health" toothpastes, like Tom's of Maine, all have SLS.

I'm going to look for SLS-free shampoos. The inside of the mouth may be more sensitive than the scalp (just a guess), but they are both permeable.

Here is a list of brand of SLS-free shampoos. I'm currently using J/A/S/O/N's 84% Aloe shampoo, and I love it.

Thanks! I just looked at my toothpastes, and right now I'm using JASON "Powerhouse". I'm going to research soaps too. Liquid hand/body soaps and facial soaps have SLS or its variants -- at least the ones in my house do.
