Comment on YSK that SLS, an ingredient added to most commercial toothpastes, causes canker sores

I use listerine which absolutely burns like a cigarette being pushed directly into it. But after a minute or so it gets overloaded with pain I guess and stops hurting for a few hours.

I’m telling you though brushing the sore works. Do it a single time, try it trust me no joke.

I agree. Makes me want to cry but it works. The other thing I do trust hurts less is put powdered alum on it. Burns a little bit but definitely speeds up the healing process.
