This toothpaste was recommended by my dentist. If you suffer from chronic canker sores, this is one step to reducing them. There are many factors that can trigger canker sores, such as stress, eating acidic foods or having poor nutrition overall, menstrual periods, food allergies, or trauma (i.e., biting your cheek or lip).

The reason this toothpaste works is because it does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, an irritating agent in most toothpastes. SLS has a drying effect on the protective surface of oral tissues. Once this protective layer has been compromised, the tissue underneath is more vulnerable to irritants such as acidic foods.

Try using this toothpaste for about one month and you will see a difference. A few years ago I always had canker sores, usually at least 3 or 4 at a time. I still get them occasionally, but not more than once a month. I am so delighted by the toothpaste that it is all I'll use, and if I try going back to normal toothpaste for even a week, I start to get canker sores again. I highly recommend it. I really do.

When I changed from a typical toothpaste to Squigle a few years ago, my canker sores went way down. After a couple years, I ran out of Squigle and bought a tube of this Rembrandt product because I could get it locally. Within a couple weeks, I had five active canker sores in my mouth at once. It was the worst I had ever seen in my life. I finally thought to try removing the toothpaste, even thought it has no SLS. So I started brushing with just water. Within 48 hrs, 2 of the sores were healing. Within another 48hrs, they were all healing. I went back to Squigle and I have not had a problem since (a couple months). If this product doesn't work for you, try Squigle (also available on Amazon). If you read their website, they suggest that there are several classes of materials that may lead to canker sore problems including detergents (like SLS), bleaches (peroxides), etc. For me, this product still appears to have something very troublesome, even thought there is no SLS.

I had suffered from almost constant canker sores since adolescence. I started using this product in my 50's and have not had a serious outbreak since - and now I'm 63. If I do feel a bit of that warning "tingle" in my mouth, in spite of the Rembrandt, I take extra B-Complex vitamins, which makes it go away. The combination of Rembrandt and B-Complex has completely cured my life-long problem. Thanks, Rembrandt! (When on a month-long vacation in Italy recently, I ran out of my Rembrandt in the last few days and used my husband's Crest instead and guess what - almost instant canker sores!)

I have always been prone to frequent canker sores. In addition to modifying my diet, like eliminating tomatoes and all citrus, using this toothpaste has been a life saver. I recommend it to anyone who suffers from canker sores. I won't use another toothpaste. Tastes great, too.

I have been using Rembrandt's toothpaste for canker sore sufferers for 7 years now in combination with L-lysine. Prior to taking the L-lysine supplement and using Rembrandt I would have at least one canker sore at all times, and it was not uncommon to have 3 or 4 at once. Since using this toothpaste and taking L-lysine on a regular basis I rarely get canker sores anymore. I might get 6 in year now, which is signifcantly less than before. I would say that my canker sores have been reduced by at least 90%.

I will point out that I started taking the L-lysine and using Rembrandt at the same time. So, I honestly don't know if one or the other is truly doing the job. However, I did change toothpaste brands when I was unable to find the Rembrandt's cankor sore toothpaste locally and I immediately started getting cankor sores again. So, my opinion is that the toothpaste is the primary reliever of my canker sores.

I started using this toothpaste several years ago as I am very sensitive to Sodium Laurel and Laureth Sulfate. This is the only toothpaste that helps. I have not gotten an outbreak of cancer sores since I started to use this item. My kids also use it. A note of caution here though, this item does not contain fluoride so a supplement of fluoride MUST be used. This may be a factor for those using this item due to cancer sores though because many fluorides/mouthwashes contain the Sodium Laurel and Laureth Sulfate mentioned above. We have well water so there is no natural water fluoride source.

I don't eat fresh pineapple anymore. I can't resist strawberries even though I suspect them of causing trouble. I'm not giving up dark chocolate either. Stress is definitely a factor. I once had 3 giant canker sores over a three-day weekend at a horse show I had been preparing for for months. I couldn't drink through a straw. There were NO foods that didn't hurt. Smiling hurt. Kissing my pony on the nose hurt. Winning our class didn't feel as good as it should have.

Then I tried this toothpaste.

Right away my mouth felt better! The toothpaste just feels less harsh. And with consistent use, I have WAY fewer sores.

I'm still not eating fresh pineapple though. No sense pushing my luck.

I have had canker sores for as long as I can remember, well more than 10 years. I would get them one after another, usually with no more than a couple weeks between them. It was terrible. I finally had enough and set out to eliminate anything that would cause them, even if it were my diet. Fortunately this was the first thing I tried and it has worked so well. I have used it for 3 months now and haven't had a sore yet. Never would I have thought that something in toothpaste could cause canker sores...seems rather ridiculous.

Gets 4 stars with absolutely no problem. The only reason it doesn't get five is the price. At 4 times the price per ounce, it isn't cheap. But I would gladly spend 8 times per ounce to never have a canker sore again. It is 100% worth that.

What a lifesaver if you suffer from canker sores! Not to rain on Rembrandt's parade, but you could also just not use any toothpaste and get the same benefit in relation to canker sores...

i have suffered from canker sores since I was a child. Now in my fifties I discovered this Rembrandt toothpaste for canker sore sufferers over 10 years ago. I can count on one hand the number of canker sores I have had since using this product and they were very little and hardly caused any discomfort. I used to be able to buy the toothpaste at my local Walgreens, but they stopped carrying it. I am so happy to be able to get it through Amazon.
