Thatâs the stuff that triggers canker sores in your mouth.
Yeah I avoid it for this reason. Also for anyone looking for toothpaste without it.
Sensodyne doesnât have it but itâs expensive.
Some of the Toms doesnât but most does.
I found out the cheap dollar tree sensitive toothpaste doesnât have it either. So thatâs what I use.
Itâs actually pretty hard to find toothpaste without it. Hope that helps.
Every time Iâm out looking for tooth paste I have to dig and dig for the one or two that donât have that ingredient. Itâs annoying as heck. Everything is fine and then you return from a vacation with a canker sore because the travel pack had it. I wanna sue somebody over this.
Every time I go to the dollar tree and itâs in stock I buy like 5 of them.
Still less expensive than 1 tube of sensodyne.
Itâs not as minty. But does the job.
Stock up when you find it.
And yeah. I too will get sores even from using the regular kind for a few days. I think Iâve gotten more sensitive to it since I started avoiding it.
My grand pappy swears that just brushing with baking soda (and water) is best. I tried that though and gagged on the taste and texture.
boycott the fucking industry, you can get flouride from pills you suck on, and just brush your teeth more thuroughly and floss to make up for not using toothpaste.

Yup. I would get canker sores all the time and they stopped as soon as I switched to Sensodyne.
