periodontal problems....

Wow, that is very interesting... the periodontal problem. I am a dental hygienist and I have not heard of this before. I am familiar with the mouth sores and for that I recommend any toothpaste without the sodium laurel sulfate which is the foaming agent. This can encourage canker sores. Rembrandt toothpaste for canker sore sufferers or Biotene is good. If you do not like the flavor of these toothpastes, just dip your toothbrush in Crest Pro Health mouthrinse and brush with that.
