Ulcers: More than an annoyance for some

Oral ulcers are painful sores that occur in the membrane lining our mouths, and are usually painful events for many of us. For some of us, they are a constant occurrence that is disruptive to everyday activities like eating and talking. In severe cases the intensity of the pain and the number of ulcers can actually make such activities difficult to the point it starts to have an impact on one’s quality of life.

Toothpaste can affect those with sensitive mouths

Many toothpastes contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), a chemical used in many cleaning products, as it is a foaming agent.

However, more than one study has found that it can cause irritation to some people and may cause long term health issues. If you are using a mainstream toothpaste, chances are it will have SLS in it.
